Friday randomness
Henry: I can’t go to school today.
Me: Yeah, I think you can.
Henry: No, I have to go ride my motorcycle.*
Me: Riiiiiggghhhtt. Put your shoes on.
Charlie: Henry, look! I have some superhero action figures.
Henry: I know.
Charlie: Someday can I get some Barbie action figures?
Henry: Some what?
Charlie: Barbie action figures!
Henry: (laughing) CHARLIE!
Charlie: What? WHAT???
Me: Charlie, can I have a sweet kiss?
Charlie: Okay. (Kisses me) There’s your sweet kiss.
Me: I like you.
Charlie: I know.
Henry: (out of bed well after the final tucking-in) Mommy, can you come help me be peaceful?
*For some inexplicable reason, my sons have a motorcycle fetish these days. We do not own a motorcycle; we are the LAST people in the universe who would EVER own a motorcycle. But if you ask the boys what they are going to be when they grow up, one or both often answer, ‘A motorcycle rider!’ Henry always adds, ‘But we’re going to be GOOD motorcycle riders’ (good as opposed to evil, not as opposed to unskilled). And the other day at the bookstore, when I suggested we swing by the magazine section on our way to the trains, Charlie picked out a motorcycle magazine for me. ‘Here you go, Mommy!’ he said proudly. I really wanted something a little more along the lines of InStyle.

Oh, good.
I wouldn’t want them to be *evil* motorcycle riders. Cos that would not be good.
Think what the neighbors would say!

Charlie is a riot!
I want to know what kind of Barbie action doll he picks out. My nephew had a Barbie thing going for a while too. He carried around a naked Barbie for years. He is 7 now, and he is not still carrying them around. His dad is happy now.

What do you mean an unexplainable motocycle fetish? Didnt you know that the motorcycle appreciation gene is located on the Y chromosome, and is always expresses its dominance. I’ve had much similar conversations…hauntingly similar

Just make sure they wear pants under their leather chaps.

SNMartha, you KNOW that is a concern with my children, what with the gaybo knight dolls and the Barbie fetish and the tiara . . . okay, maybe it’s only a concern for Charlie.
Yikes.

HAHAHAHA!
As the daughter of former leather clad Harley bikers, I salute you, Henry! Email me, I have pictures!
Mmmmm, don’t the Power Rangers ride motorcycles? There’s got to be some kind of superhero connection.
