Kids Say the Darndest Things


So a little preface to my cute tylerism...... I workout each morning for about 30-45 min. Usually my stationary bike or treadmill. I like to listen to music while I workout to get me pumped up, and let the kids play around me in the garage while I do it. Well often Morgan and Tyler fight, or talk to me while I am exercising and often I have to tell them, "I can't hear you with my headphones on, gotta work it out together." So.... today I was asking Tyler to not take the bike into the house, he was insistant that he bring it in, and I asked him again not to bring the bike into the house... well he yelled at me saying " I CAN'T HEAR YOU MOM, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" I was cracking up because he could hear me he just didn't want to because he knew I didn't want him to bring the bike in. In analyzing his comment, I found it hilarious that from his perspective he must feel whatever he was asking me or telling me while I had head phones on, was something I didn't want him to do or say and thats why I didn't do anything to help him and my way of stopping him or preventing him was to say " I can't hear you." Little Buddy... so smart yet still not quite smart enough. hahaha

That's so funny! It's hilarious when your kids use your own tactics against you - but don't quite get it right! Good for you for working out every day - wow, I wish some of that motivation would rub off on me!!!

I am so glad that you found my blog! It was so fun to hear from you and then to see your cute family. I just had my 4th boy on Tuesday, so it will take me awhile to get back into the swing of things, but I will definitely keep in touch. Have fun working out. I am jealous. I won't be able to do that for 6 weeks. Enjoy it for me!
