A laugh a day...

My day isn't complete until Tyler has made a comment that gives me a good chuckle. He certainly hasn't disappointed me the last couple of days!
So we are at the doctor's office yesterday (I suspect Allison may have a Urinary Tract Infection, and I'm waiting for results from the urine sample) and after we had been waiting for a little while, Tyler informs me that he needs to "go poop." Of course it always comes at the most inconvenient times, but when you gotta go, you gotta go! So we get our business done, and we meet Dr. Colon coming up the hallway. Everyone exchanges hellos and as we enter the room the following dialouge takes place:

Tyler: Guess what?!
Dr. Colon: What?!
Tyler: I POOPED!
Dr. Colon: Oh good, did everything go okay?
Tyler: what?
Dr. Colon: In the bathroom...did everything go well?
Tyler: Oh...yeah.

So yeah, very imformative. But wait, it gets better! For you to get the full humor, you must know that Tyler is the Bad Word Patrol around our house these days. We aren't allowed to say stupid, dumb, hate, idiot, shut up and so on and so forth. Anyone heard saying one of these words will most certainly be put in their place. Billy and I have even resorted to spelling a couple of these words a time or two to avoid any unpleasant encounters from Officer Hadley.
Now back to the story. As Dr. Colon is giving me all the options of how we can go about collecting a urine sample from Allison, this dialogue transpires:

Dr. Colon: I'd hate to have to do a catheter if we don't need to.......
Tyler: But we don't say "hate."
Me: I'm sorry, he's totally the Bad Word Patrol lately.
Dr. Colon: Oh my son is the same way. "Stupid" is the bad word in our house. (Now speaking to Tyler.) I'm sorry. I would RATHER NOT have to do a catheter if we don't have to. (Smiling) How's that?
Me: (Also smiling) Is that better Tylerman?
Tyler: Yes.

Then tonight Tyler inquired about a potential "bad word."

Tyler: Is "hideous" a bad word?
Me: (wondering where this is going) No, it's really not too bad.
Tyler: But sometimes is it a bad word?
Me: Well, it just means ugly. Who said that word?
Tyler: Wish Bear says it when she loses her tummy symbol. (On the movie Big Wish.)
Me: Oh, you're right. So Wish Bear was just saying that she looked ugly without her tummy symbol.
Tyler: Yeah, and when Princess Fiona is big she is ugly.

It's all about perspective!

We have that Big Wish movie, too! Tyler is collecting quite the vocabulary...and we could use him over here to arrest a few offending individuals. Namely...me.

Haha! That's awesome. Very entertaining. Sometimes we wonder what we create in the process of doing good. :c) Better to be safe than sorry though!

I love little kid conversations, they are so fun sometimes, unless they are one of those never ending ones!

So funny and cute!

Ahh, Maryn was the bad word patrol in our house there for awhile. Now she prefers to test the limits every so often and throw a 'butt' or 'hate' out there just to see what I'll say. Hopefully Tyler won't switch to the dark side too! :)
