reason #68: i found it

Category: conversation,Funny story about kidsZeeshan Hamid @ 5:54 pm

Out family computer mouse had been missing. I spent an insane amount of time looking for it and finally found it under the kitchen refrigerator.  Obviously, I put it back near the computer keyboard.  A few hours later:

Ayaan: “I found it”
Me: “What did you find?”
Ayaan: “I found the computer mouse”
Me: “No you didn’t, I found it”
Ayaan: “Me and you both found it”
Me: “I found it under the fridge”
Ayaan: “And I found it”
Me: “Where did you find it?”
Ayaan: “I found it right here” (he points at the mouse next to the keyboard)
Me: “I put it there”
Ayaan: “And I put it here”
Me: “Where was it before?”
Ayaan: “It was right here (points at half an inch away from the mouse) and I put it here (points at the mouse). So I found it too”

I don’t think that’s really what “finding” is.

Ayaan: “I found the mouse”

Uh, but I thought we both found it.  Uh forget it.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he has a prosperous future in politics.

Ayaan in a cast

Keeping a three year old off his foot is only marginally easier than making out with a rabid dog.

Me: “For the love of everything cute and cuddly, why are you off bed again?”
Hamza: “I am scared”
Me: “Okay, you can sleep with your lights on”
Hamza: “I am not scared of monsters, they are not real”
Me: “Then what are you afraid of”
Hamza: “I am afraid of what’s going to happen if an asteroid hits the Earth when I am sleeping”

I know I should’ve built a bomb shelter in the basement.  Now I wont be able to sleep all night :( .

reason #65: you can close your mouth

Category: Funny story about kidsZeeshan Hamid @ 2:32 am

Took kids to the dentist today.  I went to check up on Safiya and found her sitting on the dentist chair with her mouth wide open (I did not think she could open her mouth that big). 

Me: “You know, you don’t have to open your mouth unless the dentist is actually looking at it”

Poor girl’s tongue and throat seemed dry.  I wonder how long she was sitting with her mouth open like that.

Ayaan comes to the basement, picks up a hammer and hits himself on the head.
Me: “Why did you do that”
Ayaan, rubbing his head: “I was trying to fix myself”

Heard noises at 3am.  Went out to see.  Turned out that kids were changed and ready for school.  Busted internal body clock?

reason #62: who ya callin’ a proper noun?

Category: conversationZeeshan Hamid @ 11:15 am

Safiya points at the cat.

Safiya: “Oh wait, I can’t point at proper nouns.  Sorry”
Hamza: “What’s a proper noun”
Safiya: “Uh, like, for example … you are a proper noun”
Hamza yells out in a highly offended voice: “She is calling me a proper noun” 

Dont worry son, one time she called me uncool.

6 year old and 3 year old were fighting with a sword.  3 year old yelled out: “Wait, pause, Dark Gator (Darth Vader) has to go peepee.”

That’s Nature: 1; Vader: 0.
