(me) "Um, white pants? I don't think they sell white pants after labor day."
*****
"Dad, can you ask your mom to make some of her DELICIOUS macaroni and cheese for my birthday party?"
*****
"Mom? I want that for my birthday."
(again, thank you Nickelodeon for all the damn toy commercials)
****
"Mom, for my next birthday, can we have Mario and Luigi birthday plates?"
"Sure, bubs, can we get through THIS birthday first?"
****
"I don't want to wear a cup for my marbles."
"Bubba, you HAVE to protect your privates when you play t-ball, it's a rule."
I'm not bustin your balls. <--no quotes, I didn't say that out loud, thankyouverymuch.
****
"Can I open sister's presents? I will let her open FIVE of mine at my party."
Buggy is not home, she has presents from Christmas that my Aunt dropped off (family of procrastinators, that's what we are!) It is KILLING Bubba that she hasn't been home to open them.
****
"Mom, will you turn on Sponge Bob? OH! I haven't seen this...oh wait, yes I have."
"I know you have because *I* have seen it like a million times...IN PASSING."

Beth at I should be folding laundry, always interviews her kids for their birthday. I love the idea, so I am going to ask him a few questions too. This is word for word our conversation...
Me: Bubba, how old are you going to be?
Bubba: Five.
Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Bubba: uh, uh, uh a Superhero
Me: What superhero?
Bubba: Batman, because he has a gun that shoots a rope and then it has lines and then um, it gets on to somethin and then he pulls the thing that...that...that...real guns do and it makes him go up.
Me: What's your favorite food?
Bubba: tomatoes and yogurt, can I have a yogurt?
(I get up to get him yogurt and strawberries.)
Me: Who do you like more, Mommy or Daddy?
Bubba: Momm....um, both
Me: What do you like most about Mommy?
Bubba: *chirp chirp* what?
Me: Nothing, what's your favorite color?
Bubba: red and blue, orange and white and brown....and pink...and purple and yellow.
Me: *laugh*
Bubba: and gray
Me: *laugh*
Bubba: what? Mommy? *sheepish grin* I do, I like all of those.
Me: Yes, but do you have a favorite?
Bubba: Yes...all.of.them.
ME: OK.
Me: What kind of cake are you going to have on this birthday?
Bubba: Indiana Jones Chocolate Chip.
Me: Are you excited about Kindergarten?
Bubba: Yes.
Me: Are you done with this interview?
Bubba: *stares at Spongebob in T.V.* no.
Me: How much do you love me?
Bubba: All the way to the outer space and all the way back.
Me: Can I have a kiss?
Bubba: *kiss, runs back to T.V.*
Me: I love you, my big boy.
*cries a little, where does the time go?*
(Bubba runs back in and pokes his sister'S presents AGAIN.)
That concludes, the things my *almost* five year old has said lately and his birthday interview.
My favorite picture of Bubba, over this last year.
What a great idea. The Things are both a long way from their birthdays though. I'm going to have to do an interview just because. FUN!
ReplyDeleteHappy earl Birthday Bubba
ReplyDeleteGreat interview!
too cool, i may use it on my kids birthdays...it would be interesting to get a 15 and 14 year olds view.
ReplyDeleteThat interview thing sounds really fun. I might try that this week.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the interview! I might have to steal that idea...
ReplyDeleteAlso, Muffin has planned what "theme" she wants for her next several birthdays as well. It's like, there aren't enough birthdays for all the party themes!
Happy Birthday Bubba! The cup quote cracks me up, when my son was little I told him he had to wear the cup to t-ball in case he got thirsty.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic idea! I love his responses, he's all almost 5 year old boy! I have one of those around here too...where in the hell did the time go?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Bubba. It sounds as if he is full of himself and looking forward to his special day.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea! I am so doing this.
ReplyDeleteI love that pic too :-)
I'm not bustin your balls. Mwahahaa!
ReplyDeleteThat was an awesome interview! "Momm...uh... I mean..." *giggles*
A cup for his marbles? That is stinking sweet!

ReplyDeleteAwwww... what a funny and sweet post. I love the things kiddos say - a cup to cover my marbles had me rofl! And your interview is really cute. I always cry a little on my kids birthdays. It's just so bittersweet to realize they're growing up!
