Jason took the kids through the bank drive through. The teller, seeing a slew of kids, grabbed a whole hand full of Dum-dums and sent them time traveling through to the van.
At the store my little boy was so happy to have his sucker. After he finished it, he kept repeating, “Suck-er,” over and over randomly, not only at people while at the store but throughout the day. I think it might have been best if we had taught him to say, “Lollipop!”
His proclamations finally ended when we gave him another one at home. Whew.
Lollipops are huge in my house, but due to a cavity in my 4 year old, we’re trying to limit this sort of stuff (or brush teeth like crazy right after!)
haha hysterical! i love the things kids say 🙂
Ha ha, too funny! Lollipops are like gold in our house, such excitement!
I just just see and hear him… Sucka! Hah!
The word our little boys have had trouble with is “fork.” Let’s just say they had a hard time pronouncing the ‘r’, so we made sure to avoid that word whenever we had guests over! Soup for dinner, anyone?!
I’ve been reading your blog for a while but I just realized you have 3 girls and a boy as well! Our girls are 7,5,3 and our boy 2. Too funny that I didn’t notice until now!
I gave you a Bloggy Award 😉 The post will go up on my site at about 8:40…Check it out 🙂 http://www.havingfunsaving.com
Oh this made me laugh so hard. How come the somewhat embarrassing moments are always the best?
That’s hillarious. Suckers…aka: Lollipops are always a good way to keep the little ones busy. You always have the cutest stories Esther.
I’m glad you finally received the sauces. Let me know what you think…. God Bless ~
When our firstborn was little, I taught her a poem about the traffic light: “Red on top. Green below. Red says stop. Green says go. Yellow says wait, even if you’re late”. Oh, the treachery when someone else taught the child that “Yellow says, SPEED UP SUCKER!!” From the car seat in the back, even in Grandma’s car, the little child yells, “Speed up sucker” every time there is a yellow light. I never taught that poem to the other children.
I’ve been forced to bust into a pre-purchased bag at the store just for the sake of my sanity… suckers, lollipops… whatever works!
It’s so funny – I never would have done that with my first – but now with my fourth I totally give in. Suckers are the bomb. They get us through the necessary evil of errands – and cookies at the grocery store. Best bribe, er – I mean encouragement to obey, ever.
