Baby E: Mom, will we be done with our errands soon? I wanna go home.
Mom: Yes, Baby E, I just have one more stop to make, and I have to do it today.
Baby E: Can't we just go home now?
Mom: Baby E, this is super important, and your dad asked me to do it for him today.
Baby E: Alright. Can I get a popsicle there? Is it a place that has popsicles?
Mom: Yup. You can have one. OK, here we are, let's run in and hope they have what your dad needs.
Baby E: What does he need?
Mom: Just some legal envelopes.
Baby E: Whaaaaa.....?????! Do all dads ask for those???!
Mom: Well, not all dads, just the ones who use them.
Baby E: Why does dad need to use those???!!
Mom: Cuz those are the kinds he uses. Now, why are you getting so upset?..let's go....
Baby E: Do other moms get this kind of stuff for the dads??!
Mom: Sure, all the time. Let's run in now...
Baby E: I can't believe dad would ask us to do that!!?
Mom: Baby E, what is wrong??? Why are you crying?
Baby E: I don't want to go in with you!!!
Mom: What the heck is going on??? You know I can't leave you in the car....
Baby E: Mom! just call him! please!........ maybe he'll let you get the legal ones!
Mom: Oh, baby e, come here, honey...I said LEGAL envelopes, not ILLEGAL...come here, baby, now shhhhhh....
Poor Baby E. Forever scarred. As always, I am cracking up.
ReplyDeletehaha. I know this is not completely on the topic of your post, but Boy Wonder ALWAYS asks to stay in the car or get an icee when we do errands.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm dying here. That's absolutely hilarious! Oh the things they say, then the things they think they hear. That's just too much. I can't imagine what an illegal envelope looks like...
ReplyDeleteawww! but LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteBaby E is going to be scarred for life! I should think about spending a day with the two of you!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so funny!
ReplyDeleteCall me if you ever need bail money...
So funny! I wonder why he thought dad was sacrificing the family for some envelopes?
ReplyDeleteIllegal envelopes are the ones you put in your purse and run out the door with.
ReplyDeleteHow traumatic for poor Baby E. I'm sure we'll be hearing about this on his blog day.
ReplyDeleteheh heh. obviously, he's terrified of the law. but what made him so terrified in the first place... ?
ReplyDeleteLOL! Illegal envelopes. Is your husband mailing illegal things? Like... bills?
ReplyDeleteHa! That's a hoot. So sweet that Baby E is looking out for you guys.
ReplyDeletexo jj
It's a good thing he wants to follow laws at his age, let's hope he doesn't outgrow it! :)
ReplyDeleteBaahahahaaaa.
ReplyDeleteI would have told him you guys were going to jail, and it was all his fault. I will make a great mom.
ReplyDeleteOh so funny, just a brilliant telling of it too!
ReplyDeleteOh, the poor little guy. On a positive note, at least he's on the right side of the law, as opposed to his outlaw dad.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're leading in the polls. I feel so powerful. Do you feel like Obama? The (regular) people have spoken!
ReplyDeletePoor boy, you've scarred him for life! The accompanying photo made me laugh, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is FUNNY!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how funny, Poor Baby E, just take him home,so he won't have to do anything "Illegal" Legal anymore!
ReplyDeleteI am still laughing!
Kristina
Stop by tomorrow for It's Sunday blog!
OK, that cracked me up!! Just the post I needed to read tonight, after having spent the day at a birthday party for two year olds....
ReplyDeletePoor kid, I'm sure that will come out at some random moment at school.....
Poor Baby E. You have him started in a life of crime. I will send a Bail Bondsman for him!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog as always!
Kristina
Stop by my Sunday Post tomorrow, "What If's"!
They bring so much joy, those little ones!!! Just wait til he brings it up in therapy....JUST KIDDING
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome. What a lovely moral kid!
ReplyDeleteHilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteI might call them illegal envelopes from now on...
Aww poor little guy. A similar thing happened to me when I was very young. It was toward the end of the Vietnam War and the tv always spoke about guerrilla warfare.... for the longest time I thought they were talking real guerrillas! I would freak at the mere mention of the zoo.
ReplyDeleteCute! And I love the photo at the end.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Kids hear what they want to hear, and they get the funniest ideas, don't they? What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteOH Poor boy.... but this is so hilarious... :-D
ReplyDeleteSweetest E. He will keep you people in line.
ReplyDeleteAwww! So cute! Poor guy.
ReplyDeleteawe, lol. Poor kid. At least he has a good head on his shoulders. Hopefully he'll have the same reaction someday when kids start talking to him about drugs and alcohol!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. Do you remember the program "kids say the darndest things"? They still do.
ReplyDeleteKat
What a sweet boy. Worrying about his mommy ending up in the pokey over envelopes! So funny!
ReplyDeleteHee Hee, illegal envelopes: )What a sweet kid. That's why I use security envelopes to keep an eye out for those trouble makers. Love that photo!
ReplyDeleteAHAHAHAHAHA! Poor Baby E. At least you know he won't be robbing any banks. (In case you were worried about that.)
ReplyDeleteOh my, poor baby E...for a minute he thought his parents were totally going to the slammer! Kind of a cute reaction though...I hope he got TWO popsicles for the little added trauma on that errand:)
ReplyDeleteThat's right up there with the Dead Sea Squirrels. ha ha
ReplyDeleteThat kid is going to need some serious therapy! :-) As is mine! :-)
ReplyDeleteI sorry but life would be so boooorrring without kids!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! Great post...thanks for visit! Glad to have found your blog. I'm off to peek around! Kim
So funny! These kinds of misunderstandings crack me up. Especially when they don't involve kids and they have dirty connotations.
ReplyDeleteOh, BabyE. So sensitive and sweet. I guess you don't have a sidekick in him if you ever have to break the law. Like Jay-walking! Haha
ReplyDeleteSo funny! The first time I flew on an airplane (I was probably 5), the flight attendant said that all first-time flyers get a pair of wings. When I heard this I started bawling and my mom was like WTF? And I was like, "if they give us wings does that mean we have to jump out of the plane?" My mom laughed hysterically and then the flight attendant brought these little pins that were in the shape of wings and put it on my shirt. Oh, kids...
ReplyDeleteOh and I guess I'm supposed to say I found you through the Tea Party thing. Love your blog!
aww! poor thing! that's just too cute :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Poor kid, no wonder he was so upset! Nice story.
ReplyDeletePoor little dude. This damn near broke my heart. Of course that had something to do with falling off my chair onto the floor, but still.
ReplyDeleteToo, too funny! Loved this!
ReplyDeleteAll I can do is laugh. That is too funny!
ReplyDeleteKids crack me up. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! Kids are just hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHere's a funny one...whenever I say pupil my 9 year old gets all wide eyed. He, for some odd reason unknown to me, was just sure that is another word for a lady's..ahem...nether region!! He knows what it is...now...but it still makes him giggle!
That is too utterly sweet. Let's hope he always has that knee jerk reaction to anything illegal!
ReplyDeleteOh, Baby E. I get distracted by popsicles too.
ReplyDeleteaww...this sounds totally like somthing my boys would do...smiles. i hope he got his popsicle...
ReplyDeletethanks for reading over to tina's tonight...she did a marvelous job with it...
Oh no - poor Baby E!
ReplyDeleteMuch ado about nothing apparently.
ROFL that is too funny and sweet at the same time! :D
ReplyDeleteOh .. this is just classic.
ReplyDeletehe's just too precious. :)
ReplyDeletePriceless! Love these little moments...
ReplyDeleteThat is one law-abiding child you have there!
ReplyDeleteAwww, sweet Baby E was looking out for Mommy and was wondering what in the world Daddy was thinking of asking Mommy to get something illegal for him! Too funny! :)
ReplyDeleteI am totally cracking up! That is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThey make the illegal kind? Are they the big magenta ones with the tab?
ReplyDeleteLOL Gosh I love kids!
ReplyDeleteLOL-very funny.
ReplyDeleteummm....I think perhaps you entered the wrong post for "Not" Mom Of The Year. You really need to stop mumbling... it is frowned upon in Empress circles. Poor Baby E.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Now that is funny and I might have to try that with my kids!!
ReplyDeleteAh, the world through the eyes of a child, lol. too cute.
ReplyDeleteI love that he's still so concerned with the safety of the family. It would be a real bummer to get pinched over envelopes.
ReplyDeletethat was sweet and funny all at the same time...LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least you know you won't be bailing him out anytime soon! Congrats on Not Mom of the Year!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Too Funny!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely precious!!!!
ReplyDeleteAw...the poor baby...that was sweet! It's nice to know that our boys, even though they like to be naughty so much of the time, really do care about wrong versus right. Baby E reminds me so much of Fred...even down to the popsicles :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on such a big readership, Alexandra!
Now I'm curious- what ARE illegal envelopes?
ReplyDeleteThat's just too funny!
ReplyDeleteI've received illegal things in envelopes before, but I don't think I've ever had an illegal envelope on its own...
ReplyDeleteThat's just so funny! I can just imagine how scared Baby E is --- all for just a legal envelope. lol!
ReplyDeleteAwww, that is soo cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the things kids say. Once a girl was with her dad and said, "My mommy and daddy got divorced and now daddy has A LOT of girlfriends."
The dad went red.
So sweet. Kids are fascinated with jail, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your uber supportive comment on my project momcasting post.
hugs,
Ann
