I completely forgot…

I really, probably should be blonde.  I forget everything.  I was so rattled by the Great Quake of ‘06, that I totally forgot the little story of how I’m warping an innocent child.

Last night, before the Great Quake of ‘06, Prince, Duke, and I headed to our local Lowe’s for the much needed toliet seat. (Our delightful landlords left us with a wooden seat that is BROKEN and proceeded to pinch my ass the last time I sat on it.)  On our way, Duke was chatting up a storm about all sorts of delightful topics which may or may not include the cows outside, the rock, something purple — then I jumped out of the moving car and Prince left my body to rot on the side of the road.

Then out of no where, Prince burps.  Yup, so polite and genteel is my man, he burps.  Giggles from the boy in the back seat.

Duke: “Daddy burp.”

Me: “Yes, Duke, Daddy burped.”

Duke: “Mama burp?”

Me: “You want Mama to burp?”

Duke: “YES”

Me to Prince: “Guess I’ll have to show the boy how it is done.” “BBBBUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Giggles.

Duke: “Duke burp.”

Duke TRIES.  Good attempt for a 3 year old, but not really a burp.

Prince: “I can’t believe this, I thought you’d wait until at least 1st grade before you teach him public burping.”

Me: “Why?  You already taught him to fart.”

Yep, this is SO why I’m a parent.  I’m here to teach all the needed skills in life.

    There ya go!! I just recently read Dad Gone Mad who was teaching his kid the same thing. It’s good to hear parents finally teaching their kids some useful stuff. HAHAH!

    (Did I say it was GREAT to meet you at BlogHer yet?? And thanks for getting Karl the hell away from me for awhile? Heh. Kidddddding. Love me some Karl.)

    OK, let me guess – burping his ABC’s will be next. This just proves that he’s well advanced for his age! Actually, I just figured it out – armpit farts will be next, right?

    Oh, and NOW you replace the toilet seat! I only got pinched what, 183 times? Yes, I know I got up to pee every 5 minutes. Mark was conviced that he broke the seat!
