Toilet Training and baseball

...during this time, my now 8 year old was about 2...he was in the bathroom and my boyfriend & I walked in to find him sitting backwards on the toilet, first he pulled the toilet paper off the roll, and then put it in the toilet. Next, he took the powder and poured/shook it in the toilet. It was hilarious to watch.

My 10 year old was playing baseball last summer and hit a base hit. When the next batter hit, he ran to second right past the runner who was on second base and then all the way home. It was the funniest thing to see him pass up the 2nd base hitter...but the run obviously didn't count.....

lol I have a brand new one for you guys. My little guy is 2 almost 3. For the last couple of days he has been asking me "but what happened to dinner?" lol, I am not sure what he means by this. He says it in the morning, when I am cooking, when he is eating and different times throughout the day. I dont know if he is trying to say I am a lousy cook or that he's hungry.

Confused I can relate, my oldest is now 19. When he was two he used run around asking "What time is it?" at the oddest times.

Back in 1990 visits at the drivethrough teller with the kids in tow were rare. Our middle boy was about two and a half and the oldest was just starting Northwest Christain Academy Kindergarten. We went to make a deposit with our little jewels in the car after school. I told the boys "Danny, say hi to the lady in the bank" to which he spoke gently to the microphone "hi, lady in bank" and then i told the oldest "say hi to the lady in the bank". At this point he took his thumb from his mouth and blurted out "hi ya' big fat ho". This is no joke, my wife and I held back the tears from trying not to laugh and acted shocked, got him home, I whacked his butt and she washed his mouth out with soap. We still laugh about it to this day, never found out which kid taught him that.

Another was the day years ago when I called my wife (pre-cell) and she told me that she would be at Bible Book Store in North Miami with the kids. So, I figured a surprise meeting. Now, I was taught NOT to touch the goods if i had no money, and I firmly believe in that, it ain't mine, period. My kids know this and knew it then. Here I come into the store, turn down the toy isle and there they were, nailed, toys on the isle floor. It was funny to watch three tiny index fingers implicate the next guy, and yes, they got whacked in the store and in trouble at home.

Or old Kuko who owned the Cuban Grocery on our block. My oldest was six when he and my wife went to the store one day. He walked out with one of those plastic key chains and my wife walked him back and took him to Kuko who ran the store from the old style fortress in the center like old markets had. Took him in behind that giant door into the enclave and made him confess, shaking, near crying, and trembling he confessed his criminal deed to old Kuko. Kuko played right along explaining that he may have to call the Police but in the end he gave him the chain and made him promise not to steal again, it worked. A good, and to my wife and I, funny memory of a very decent, hardworking man and my son. Inciodentally, Kuko helped alot of folks Anglo, Latin and Black, he was a good man. he carried old folks on credit until they got their check, he gave my kids candy and deli treats constantly, accepted checks from neighborhood regulars and when my wifes Uncle arrived from Colombia my wife introduced him in the store and he told him, "i know things are difficult when you are new so the groceries are free this week.

We still have a "few" of the mom and pop stores here in Ky, but not many..... they are almost a thing of the past....... some have been here 50 years or more..... LOVE THEM.

All the big stores are only after the buck...... inexperienced help, rude cashiers and clerks, or no clerks, and buggys that the wheels are falling off of......

Life was much simpler and kinder years ago.....
