Welcome to the June edition of Fly on the Wall. Buzz around, see what you think, then click on the links below for a peek into some other homes:
After three appointments with my doctor, she finally relented and gave me the long awaited go ahead for physical therapy to help with my seemingly endless battle with tight, painful muscles. I was explaining to Evil Genius that I had to go to Physical Therapy.
He shook his head. “You said you wanted to tighten up. I can’t help it if you’re an overachiever.”
The Princess was supposed to be in bed.
Both of us heard the sound coming from upstairs:
click click click click click click click click click click
*sound of the toilet flushing*
Evil Genius went upstairs to investigate.The Princess was standing in the doorway of the bathroom in her princess shoes and tiara.
She calmly informed Evil Genius what she was up to “I was just going potty.”
“In high heels and a tiara?”
“But these are my slippers…”
In her defense, they were Cinderella shoes. We have yet to receive an explanation for the tiara.
Evil Genius: “I need to watch Iron Man 2 again, you know, for research purposes.”
Me (rolling my eyes): “Only in this house could watching that kind of movie be considered research.”
The Professor at the bowling alley, inspecting the rack of bowling balls. “Hey Mom, which one is my hand size?”
We stopped at the gas station to fill up before we headed on home from shopping.
“I have to go visit the potty while we’re here.” I said.
The Princess thought this was the funniest thing she had ever heard. When we went into the bathroom, she went into the stall and this is what I overheard.
“Hello potty. How are you? I’ve come to visit you. I’m going to PEE IN YOU NOW!”
Evil Genius is making a strawberry rhubarb pie in the kitchen, which is just off of The Professor’s bedroom. The Princess is watching him very carefully.
She asks “Daddy why did you cut holes in the top?”
Evil Genius: “Because when it cooks it would blow up if I didn’t.”
The Princess: “You mean it’s gonna explode?”
The Professor (from the depths of his room): “Whoooooah… COOL!”
The Professor: “I’m trying to figure out donut holes.”
Me: “Oh?”
The Professor: “I don’t understand them. How can you eat them if they’re just holes?”
The Princess: “Because they’re round, silly!”
The Princess loves to draw pictures of our family, especially pictures of the two of us. One recent picture she drew she kept taking back and making revisions. Eventually she handed me the final product:
Me: “Is this you and me?”
The Princess: “YES!” Me: “Awwww, thank you! What are we doing?”
The Princess: “You are giving me a heart.”
Me: “Ok! What’s that around my neck? Am I wearing a necklace?”
The Princess: “NO MOMMY, those are your BOOBS.”
ME: “Oh… my they are up there aren’t they? So then that’s the rest of my body down there?”
The Princess (annoyed): “NO. That’s all your tummy.”
I’m still not sure if this is a hint to hit the gym more often or to stop wearing push-up bras.
The Professor asked to go to the park. This is unusual because he usually shies away from anything outdoor related. There are tubes in the climber at one particular park in town-he had some scientific principles that he wanted to check out.
So naturally we went. Where did he spend most of his time? Hanging out in the bathroom…
Princess: “Mommy can I use the chapsticks with my dinner?”
Me: “I don’t have any chapstick. And you don’t need any for your dinner.”
Princess: “We DO have chapsticks. You know, the kind we got.”
Me: “??????”
Princess: “The ones Grandma brought us from China.”
Me: “OH! CHOP-sticks! No.”
Princess: “Mommy you’re getting old.”
Me: “What makes you say that?”
Princess: “Oh, but not right now. You’re not getting old now.”
Nice save, kiddo.
Princess: “Mommy, what did you do before you were a mommy?”
Me: “Ohhhhh, ummmmm, I took long walks.”
Princess: “Oh? Did you wash your hair?”
Me: “Um, yeah.”
Princess: “Did you cook meals?”
Me: “Sometimes.”
I’d really love to know what she was insinuating…
Remember the two wheeled truck from last month’s Fly on the Wall?
Evil Genius to the kids: “If you had your choice, what would you rather have, my ’53 Ford or my Ram?”
The Professor: “I’d have to take a look at them first, then I’d decide. What’s the difference?”
Evil Genius: “One is a four wheel drive and one is a two wheel drive.”
The Professor: “Oh, I’d rather have a four wheel drive. It would be really weird to drive a truck with only two of the wheels.”
Well, it finally arrived this month! Here it is:
Now buzz on over to these homes to see what goes on!

LOL!!!! Neck boobs!! Gotta love it!!!!
I wonder if I should look at the kids drawings more carefully…. Then again, maybe I shouldn’t. LOL
You might appreciate my Son’s inquiry about the proper anatomical term for the bulge above my belt: http://definingmotherhood.wordpress.com/2013/01/06/gravity-has-taken-its-toll-on-my-body-and-my-expectations/
The one that made me laugh the most was chapsticks. lol
Hahahah I’ll never use the phrase “visit the rest room” again without imagining a conversation with the toilet. Great post!
Oh how kids make us feel really self conscience……it’s like their super power!
That picture is just hilarious; neck, boobs and tummy.
And just for the record, your daughter is absolutely correct; every woman should go to the bathroom wearing a tiara at least once in their life.
The princess donning a tiara and heeled shoes to use the bathroom at bedtime, so sounds like something my girls would do and I guarantee, we too would never get the real story behind this, lol!!
Perhaps there was a ball that she needed to go to in the “throne room”. Makes sense to me!
That drawing had me cracking up! Out of the mouths of babes, right? Love how Princess was talking to the toilet, too. Looks like she inherited her mother’s sense of humor….
A combination of both parent’s sense of humor. Scary…
I’m not sure which I love more. The awesome truck, the chopstick story or the fact that your’ boobs are as big as your heart. You lucky girl! I have to find a tiara now, solely for peeing, of course 🙂
A tiara for the throne. Makes sense. I could market that and make millions!
Awesome!!! I want to see what they’d say to an exploding donut hole!!! And the truck ROCKS!!!!
I just love how literal he is. I know what he was thinking-that holes are negative space, therefore there is nothing there. How can you eat something that isn’t there! HA HA! I love my scientist.
I think out families are twins. Just sayin…. Exploding nothing is what I was thinking would blow their minds!!
LOL Neck boobs and Hello potty! Love it

LOL I love it. The bathroom one had me in stitches.
So sweet! This brings back so many memories of when our (now adult) kids were little…
You have gorgeous boobs.
I love the dialogues with our children! This is such great stuff, that we would never be able to come up with on our own. The picture and the accompanying dialogue are just priceless! I laughed so hard. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but I can already see the seeds! xo
This entire post is too funny. Love your neck boobs, how EG said that you’re an overachiever for tightening up, and especially the awesome kid conversations. Glad you’re not getting old now! (agree – awesome save)
What perfect melons you have! Your kids are geniuses and funny. Great combo. Like mama!
I want to know what your hubs was researching . . . As a writer I’ve heard of (gotten away with) some ridiculous shit in the name of research. I’m curious.
I love the drawing! It’s so funny to get a glimpse inside our kids’ minds 🙂
You totally have an hour glass shape in her picture. That sounds good, right?

I can;’t breathe woman…I am laughing so flipping hard right now…Evil Genius has a point about “holes”, they really aren’t holes….LOL… and love that he heard the pie blowing up conversation from his room.
I LOVE that she wore Cinderella shoes and a tiara to go to the bathroom…she is rockin’!
those are some pretty impressive boobs, LOL
I guess when some people have to “go”, they do it in style!
I love the two wheels vs four wheels debate!
He is too funny-it makes up for days like today when he spreads momma’s patience a bit too thin!

Thankfully she doesn’t spend a lot of time talking to toilets.
The bathroom one had me cracking up. Hilarious. And I still laugh hysterically when I see pictures of your kids because I can’t get that damn diaper picture out of my head! LOL Thank you for linking up with the Humor Me Blog Hop!
I’m pleased that my daughter will some day have that picture coming back to haunt her.
These are SO cute! And I LOVE the neck boobs. Kids are so much fun. They make life so much funnier.
Yes they do!
I guess it could be worse, you could be tripping over your boobs. 🙂 LMAO! Thank you for the laugh and for hookin’ up with the Humor Me!
You’re welcome! I didn’t do a great job of promoting, but I AM on vacation…

I think that kids see us totally different as we do. Sometimes it’s a good thing. Sometimes, not so much!
Your kids are HILARIOUS! I love the neck boobs, I would kill for neck boobs! Mine are stomach boobs at best.
Thanks for stopping by the Tattler Thursday blog hop!
Mine are definitely not neck boobs, nor stomach boobs yet, but give them a couple more years!
Neck boobs! Kids are awesome..
Thanks for hooking up to the the Hump Day Hook Up
