Toddler News

Rowan is getting to the point where you can carry a fairly humorous conversation. While she and I were eating a small dinner of pirogies, she told me she was going to pour orange pop in a old computer sitting on the table I was working on. I responded that if she poured pop in my computer, I was going to poop in her bed. This got a giggle from both of us, then she explained all the reasons why I should not poop in her bed. I stood firmly by my threat if she poured pop in my computer.

This reminds me of a worry that Boffy has about Rowan in preschool. You see when I read to her at bedtime, many stories end with all of the characters coming down with excessive flatulence. Then they all tooted and farted and Rowan chimes in that "then everything stunk" while jumping up and down on the bed. Boffy is is worried that story time at preschool will end with Rowan standing up in class at the end of a book and declaring that "than they all tooted and farted and everything stunk".

And of course if she was to do this it would result in total toddler anarchy, as I imagine the entire class would about shit themselves with laughter.

The big question is, does father Mojo condemn his daughter potently causing total toddler anarchy? He might, as far as fatherly duties require and putting on a good front as such, but secretly wishes his daughter to be expert in sowing toddler rebellion in the classroom.

"Boffy is is worried that story time at preschool will end with Rowan standing up in class at the end of a book and declaring that "than they all tooted and farted and everything stunk"."

So, Boffy's just now worried that Rowan will be broken???

Rowan stands an excellent chance of being so broken it makes regular broken look fixed!

I can't wait!

We will see. I don't think we will see any problems, she only does such silliness with me at this point. Although she did insult Gee (What Rowan calls Boffy's mom). She simply declared at lunch one day "Gee, you're a twit".

I think it will run out of steam by the time she is a teen. Because what ever your parents are, is totally uncool. So I imagine she will be a very serious teen.

Then of course, later on, you turn into your parents.

"Then of course, later on, you turn into your parents."

I'm going the other way, myself. Every year, my father turns more and more into me.

It's kinda funny.

Or your father is just letting you see what he has realy always been.

That makes some sense, as the kid becomes an adult the father becomes more himself.

You may just be getting a better look in the mirror.

"You may just be getting a better look in the mirror."

No, he's blamed me for it any number of times. "What the hell is wrong with me?? I never even used to think like that, and now I'm bringing up [some atrocity] at the dinner table???"

So you are claiming you broke your father?

And here come the NotBatBaby and CaveBaby to carry on the legacy. What kind of chance do they stand of being "normal." Thank goodness they'll have each other and Rowan for support.

Speaking of broken babies -- You might remember that I was going to be a Luchador for halloween this year, but that won't work out on account of the pregnancy (if you wear the mask, you have to wrestle!). So I'm trying to talk caveman into going as a whole Luchador family next year. If that works out, I wanna make a mask for your baby too, so we can throw both kids in a playpen together and let 'em battle it out. (Or at least take really funny pictures.)

T-minus two months. I would not count on milk just yet.

Although, I must agree. Rampion must breast feed us. There is really no choice in the matter.
