I've sat down to writeup something funny or amusing or maybe just even mundane, to get past the last post and to stick to my resolution of nothing related to the last post, here or elsewhere. It's hard keep that resolution, though, when even when I am not thinking about it, I am still thinking about it and it feels like an undercurrent to everything I am saying or doing.
Anyway, I figured I'd just post some recent Houdini'isms and call it a day. Inspiring, easy to post, and the least likely to permeated with thoughts of it.
SCENE ONE: The Kitchen
Houdini [H]: "I wanna go Target and buy a special DVD."
Lemel [L]: "Do you know what you need for that?
[H] shakes head int he negative.
[L]: "You need money. Do you have money?"
[H]:"No."
[L]:"Then how will you pay for it?"
[H] (Not skipping a beat): With Mommy's money!

SCENE TWO: The car. It is ~100 outside and and we have the air conditioning blowing, but I am still worried Houdini is too warm in the back seat.
Me: "Are you hot?"
Houdini: "No, I'm Houdini."
***
SCENE THREE: The car. A particularly foul smell comes wafting to the front from the back.
Me: "Houdini, did you poop?"
Houdini: "No."
Me (still smelling the foul smell): "Hmmmm...Well, okay, did you fart?"
Houdini (pointing to himself): "I didn't fart." (Points to behind and below) "My butt farted!"
***
SCENE FOUR: The living room. Toys and books and crayons strewn everywhere.
Me: "Houdini, who made this mess?"
Houdini: "I did, Mommy."
Me: "And why did you do that?"
Houdini: "I wanted to be naughty."
