Not Switched At Birth
There are moments (sometimes far and few between) that I know Ethan is my son. Moments that I know beyond a doubt he wasn’t switched in the hospital nursery and that we indeed brought home the right little baby. There are also moments that I question where he could possibly have learned that behavior and I try to attribute it to my husband or in-laws. Thank goodness there are more moments like today’s.
This afternoon Ethan and I sat in the parking lot while my mom ran an errand. In the car we had Parker (our new little puppy). With the nice weather outside, we left the windows rolled down, which soon proved to be a mistake. Three different ladies came by and started petting Parker and making comments like, “What a cute little puppy he is.”
This angers Ethan to no end. He is quick to point out that a) It’s MY puppy and b) It’s a girl dog. (I love his possessive nature and need to be right.)
Around the time the 4th complete stranger is reaching inside our vehicle and putting their hands all over the dog, my mom finally makes it back to the car. As the stranger started to walk off, Ethan yells out, “Start the car and let’s go!”
Now I realize this may not be funny to you, but to me it is just proof that he is my boy. He expressed exactly what I was thinking. Let’s get the hell away from all these crazies! Only he said it out loud.
The beauty of kids is they say what we only think! LOL
By the way, our kids are all teens, and there are still days we think we brought home the wrong ones.
I think you’re getting paid– I accidentally clicked on practically every ad while my browzer decided to scroll down. I click on comment and then all of the sudden I’m signing up for a dating service.
I went “brpfff” with my lips when I read “Get in the car and let’s go!” That coming from a child is indeed hilarious. And Parker, I’ve been meaning to tell you, is a total hottie and I want to put my hands all over HER. (hehe).
Hello. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and post a comment. The camera I use is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W55. It’s pretty basic, but it takes great pictures. And there’s always Photoshop for adding some cool after effects. Though, I didn’t use Photoshop very much for that particular set of photos.
I love how kids say whatever may be on their mind, no matter how shocking it may sound to others.
Bwaaaahahahahahaha!
Funny.
Hiya… first time visitng.

GF
Awww. You can truly appreciate his ability to not yank one of the well wishers through the car window or something can’t you? Hehe. Great story.
Happy Day to you.
Crazy Dog touchers! They are the WORST! Heh.
