super #2

The boy "I am going to have a fireworks of pooh pooh"

How Nathan and Mommy met

On Sat night right before story time, mommy asked the boy how the two of them met. Nathan had trouble in articulating an answer so mommy assisted him. Here it is:
He used to have superpower when he was a baby. One day he flew into our apartment, saw mommy and asked "Can I stay with you?" and mommy said "Yes".

Protection Mommy

Before Daddy went away on a business trip, the boy told Daddy that if bad people came to the house, he would "punch them in the face and die them"

meeting Mommy's husband

Mommy and the boy were at a restaurant waiting for daddy. The boy heard mommy telling the waittress that she was waiting for her husband but would like to order the food for the two of them first. The boy interrupted and said, "I want to meet your husband too"

Fire-breathing Dragon

Nathan has the habit of saying the following in public washrooms:
"Daddy, Look at my fire-breathing dragon. Smoke is coming out."

Being Responsible

"If you drop something on the floor, you have to pick it up. That's responsible, right? "

"Mommy, you don't go downstairs without me, that's not responsible"

amazing

Mommy lined up Nathan's toy car, the boy's response "Mommy, you are pretty amazing".

Hung Kei Fat Choy

The daycare celebrates Chinese New Year every year. Nathan is the only Chinese kid in his class and mommy wants Nathan to be able to say a few Chinese New Year things like "Hung Kei Fat Choy". Each time, the boy would respond "I can't speak in Spanish, it is too hard"

Nathan Phillips Square

When Nathan's girlfriend, Miriam, found out that her Sunday school class was taking the kids skating at Nathan Phillips Square, she looked at her mom right in the eyes and said "Mommy we are going to my boyfriend's square"

Uncle David

Uncle David came and stayed with us for a few days during Christmas. During those few days,
the boy loved following uncle David everywhere he went, he was always saying "uncle David this" and "Uncle David that". He was also hyper most of the time when David was around, he even called James "Uncle Daddy".

What's that smell?

Daddy told Nathan for a subway ride. They stood right in front of a Bell poster and next to a woman who was wearing pretty strong perfume.

Nathan: What's that smell? oh I know it is the smell of the beaver.

Daddy managed to keep a straight face for the entire trip.

It's Mine!

Book Description at the back: It's mine! demonstrates that children can learn to share if they are assured they have the right to say "no", and if that right is respected.

Sounds like a good book for a toddler who needs to learn about sharing...


"you two could trade toys. Caillou, if you let Philip play with your ball, maybe he will let you play with his monkey"

I am handsome now

The boy had a great time having his haircut. He kept saying "I am handsome now" and kept trying to leave the chair.

Naye and Daddy need a talk...

Mommy had one hand in her pocket. The boy asked "is that your penis?"

Good Night

Mommy: Good night Naye Naye, don't let the bed bugs bite
The Boy: Don't let the tiger eat your whole body

Sorry is not enough

When James is out of town on business trip, he usually asks K to give him a wake up call in the morning, On Nov 1, K forgot but sent a very sweet and apologetic email to James.

His reply: Slept in to 10:00. Missed my presentation. David fired me. I was so upset I jumped into the river behind Milcroft and drowned.

Taking risk

While Daddy was watching his favourite Home & Garden television show, the boy marched into the room and turned the TV off. He then turned to Daddy with a grin and said "Am I a dead boy now?".

Aggressive Behaviour - Part II

The boy knows very well that hitting people is bad.
"No, I am not hitting mommy, I am just drumming her"

My job

My job is to get information for employees, my work is not just limited to research type requests. Today I was asked if I have any balloons. Too bad that the person didn't ask me about toy sharks, I got a few of those.

Being Silly

Nathan and daddy were playing castle and having some nice conversation:


The Boy: you know, you are silly sometimes.... me too.
Daddy: Is mommy silly sometimes?
The Boy: No

Aggressive Behaviour

Mommy had a discussion with the boy about hiting others that he should not hit anyone under any circumstances.

The boy: "I want to hit myself"
Mommy: No, you shouldn't hit yourself either"
The boy: "I really want to, I want to be a gorilla!"

Sobina

Mommy went to her office to pick up some dry cleaning. The boy and daddy had a nice father and son chat in the car.

Boy: I want to get out and see Sobina.
Daddy: Today is Saturday, Sobina is not in the office.
Boy: Where is she?
Daddy: She is with her boyfriend.
Boy: with her boyfriend, what is his name?
Daddy: Hanif
Boy: what are Sobina and Hanif doing?
Daddy: what do you think?
Boy: Playing Thomas.

Bad Boy

I feel sad when I am a bad boy.


A week later, he said the same thing again....

"I really really feel bad when I am a bad boy. Do you have any popsicles? that will make me feel better"

You are not my friend...

Last Sat. the boy was upset with daddy, he said "you are not my friend anymore, I only like mommy and grandma"

Yesterday, the boy told mommy, "you are not my friend anymore, I only like grandma; grandma likes me too".

newswire

Caroline forgot to cover nw for me (again!), many people expressed concerns and asked if I am "OK".

Next time when I am away, I will use the following as my standard out-of-office auto reply:

Karen is not available for newswire monitoring as she was:

1. hit by a space shuttle
2. eaten by a bear/shot by a hunter
3. sick due to some serious work allergy
4. fired. We wish her all the best...
5. all of the above
   
   The correct answer is 5: all of the above.

some quotes

We were in Babados for a week, on day Number 4 Nathan was having a little bit of constipation, we didn't want to go anywhere until he had his #2. We were a bit anxious and his response was "You get what you get".

[While observing a woman getting ice from a machine in a hotel] Thats not a monster. Just some guy.

[While looking at a picture of an underwear model in a magazine] That lady does not look like Mommy. But don't tell her I said that. Okay?

David has a donut on his head (david is quite bald)

"This lady doesn't have a home to go to so she has to sleep here" - just a woman suntanning at the beach and no, she didn't hear our conversation.

A cute moment -- Nathan was talking to daddy in the car about the lions and tigers in Mommy's office. when asked whether he concerned about the tigers eating Sobina, he said that they were good tigers that ate only dog food.

"Daddy, I can't love you forever because I have to go to the daycare"(Robert Munch's Love you forever)

When asked why Nathan didn't want to go to the daycare, he said "because I am so F***ing busy"

Nathan was being stubborn, Daddy said "you are exactly like your mother", his response was "Yes, I am short"

Nathan did he first Number 2 in the potty. Reaction: "what is that? " Mommy said Nathan just poo-pooed in the potty. Nathan claimed "No, it is SHIT"

Nathan told Mommy "yesterday Miriam said her best friend is now Jennifer"
