Beware the curious Tank

I was going to the bathroom today when Tank walked in. (What mother gets to pee by herself anyway?) He looked at me and pointed to my stomach, which just happens to have a wee bit of flab left over from my pregnancy with him and sitting on a toilet is such an advantageous position.

Tank: What's that Mommy?
Me: That's my tummy, Tank. (pppbbbbttt...you can hear my ego deflating.)
Tank: No, Mommy, what's that? (pointing to my tummy roll, yet again.)
Me: It's my stomach. (ssssssssss...ego deflation is now complete.)
Tank: Oh. (He walks up to me, lifts the back of my shirt and stares intensely at my back.) Where's your horn?

What?! My horn?! Who or what does he think I am? Dug was in his office which just happens to be right next to the bathroom. He overheard the whole thing and by that time was at the door laughing and trying to escort Tank out of my reach. Wise move on Daddy's part.

Later, I was talking to Tank and trying get him to explain what he meant, but by that time he had forgotten the whole episode. Argh! Three year olds. Tell them they can have candy when they get home and the mind is a steel trap. But have them recall a conversation from five minutes ago...nada.

Oh well, maybe it's best I don't know...best for Tank, that is.

When you don't want them to say something, they do, and when you want them to talk, you find out that apparently they're shy. WHYYY???????????
This was funny. It reminds me of other curious questions that I can't bring up here.

i went online and looked at about a million pictures of berries, trying to find the perfect "shnozberry" picture. Then I saved it, opened up photoshop and resized it. (original was huuuuge) i went online to dafont.com and found the font i liked. downloaded it then added "shnozberry patch" to my picture. saved the whole thing as a jpeg. went to the layout page of my blog, clicked on edit title. clicked the dot that says i want to use a file from my computer. uploaded it and chose the option that i wanted to use the picture instead of the title option. that's it.

wow! thanks yo! I have done pictures before...but none as beautiful as your picture. I really like that contrast of the berries and the wall, and you did choose the perfect font. Oh, but that is because you have superpowers...where can I get me some of those?!

Tricia said...

you have super powers too. if you don't know what they are, they're just hidden. i bet brad knows what they are...

ps just want to make sure that you knew that i didn't take that picture. i just found it on the web in all its shnozberry perfection.
