Snippy snippy

I was sitting at the walk-in clinic waiting room with Zayd and Evan on either side. There were lots of babies around... and I was ooo-ing and awww-ing over each and every one of them.

Evan: Do you want another baby?

Me: Oh... It sounds nice, but no, no I don't. Not anymore. I couldn't have one anyways.

Evan: Too old?

Nice.

Me: No, your dad got the snippy-snippy.

Which, by the way, is what my mom calls it. I think it has a nice ring to it.

Zayd does his little snort-laugh.

Zayd: Too much information.

pause

Evan's eyes grow very wide.

Evan: Uhm. You mean... Do you mean?

He leans in to get closer to my ear.

Evan: Do you mean he got it cut off? (he's pointing to his crotch... subtly, of course)

Me: What?

Zayd: Oh my God Evan! (he starts laughing uncontrollably) Oh my God! You don't know what that means?

Me: Evan. No. He didn't get his penis cut off.

Evan: Oh.... Thank God. I just thought... I don't know.

pause

Evan: Do you mean he got his... his... other parts cut off?

Me: What other parts?

Evan: (He lowers his voice) His nuts?

Me: Holy cow child! No!

Evan: Oh!

Zayd, still laughing from the earlier exchange, now is laughing even harder.

Me: Evan! It is not that traumatic. Goodness! The little tubes that carry sperm from the testicles are snipped. They are just little tubes that are cut. It only takes the doctor about 10 minutes and that's it.

Evan: Ooooohhhhh. Yeah. I knew that. I think I knew that.

pause

Evan: Thank God. (he lets out a huge sigh and sits back in his chair).

Laughing out loud

Note: NajMania is a year old! Wow. Looking forward to blogging about the year ahead!

I'm at home for the weekend with just my 14 and 6 -year old. The other men are camping.

It's been fun... and they have been funny. So, presenting Zach and Ethan's most fabulous Saturday quotes.

A couple hours after we got home from breakfast at IHop, Zach went upstairs... when he returned...

Zach: What was in that omelet I ate?

Me: I don't know, why?

Zach: Because there are a bunch of rowdy kids on the bus, but the door is stuck.

*****

At the video store as Zach's friend, Alex was helping Ethan pick out a movie...

Ethan: Uhm... can you move away? I need some space.

*****

Ethan has strep (he's on meds)... When he got up in the morning he found Zach relaxing and watching television.

Ethan stopped and just stared at him.

Zach: What? What's wrong?

Ethan: I'M the one who is sick!

(meaning, get off the damn chair and give me the remote. Who the hell do you think you are chillaxing at the television?)

****

While waiting for Alex at his house, we saw Alex's little brother playing outside - looking rather angry.

Ethan remarks...

Ethan: I think he is that way because the kids at school are mean to him.

****

On the way home in the car:

Ethan: It seems as though my intestines are...

We all burst our laughing so he didn't finish the sentence.

Later...

Ethan: I think my intestines have a monster in them...

IHop apparently did a number on both the boys.

*****

It's only noon. I'm sure there is more to come as the weekend continues.
