Why Seth will most likely need therapy someday

Posted on February 16, 2007

A few weeks ago in the car on the way to visit my parents:

Seth: Mommy, why do seals eat penguins?
Me: Because I imagine those seals find ‘em mihhh-tee tastey.

Later on that same day (in the car on the way back from visiting my parents):

Marc: Uh oh. There’s some wierd light on the dashboard.
Lisa: Well, I hope we don’t breakdown here. My cell phone is dead.
Marc: If we broke down, looks like we’d have to walk.
Seth: We’re gonna walk home?
Marc: No you get to stay here alone in the car. You’d only slow us down.
Seth: (Starts to panic and freak out) Noooooo!
Lisa: Bunny. Daddy is just KIDDING. We love you. We’d never leave you behind anywhere.
Marc: (Mumbles under his breath.) But we’d seriously consider it.
Lisa: (Mumbles under her breath.) Ain’t THAT the truth?

    hahahaha

    I sometimes wonder how my sarcasm will affect my kid. I’ll just reading your blog to see how since you are ahead of me in the game.

    Too funny. At least he’ll grow up with a sense of humor. Either that or he’ll grow up needing years of therapy. Either or.

    That’s funny. You’re funny. But you’d better hold onto him, some day he might actually be helpful. That’s what I’m learning about my teenager. That babysitting thing has proved priceless. Don’t get rid of them before they become useful. :)

    haha, isn’t the personalized brand of crazy we all inflict upon the littl’uns what makes it worth it!!
    I mean, if they’re able to destroy furniture with their “oopsies” (not to mention our bodies) it’s the least we should get…

    you’re funny.

    Sarcasm is all we have to help us through the insanity. He’ll get over it. If not he can just invest in a good health insurance that covers therapy.

    That’s too funny. There are so many times that I’m standing waiting for my son to hustle to the car for school. And I’m telling him you either hurry up or I’m leaving without you - like I’d REALLY drive all the way to the school without him and then all the way back home! haha But it sure makes him move a little quicker when we’re late.

    funny. you should have thrown in something about seals eatting little boys left alone in cars. now that would scare him shitless.

    Every time we go somewhere, my girls ask if they can go in. Since I never leave them in the car by themselves, and never will, I always say, no, you have to sit here in the car while mom is gone and see what happens! They just laugh at me though LOL

    Yes, he’ll grow up with a sense of humor and you’ll be smackin yourself for teaching him sarcasm & wisecrackedness. LOVE IT. HAHAHA I say to you & Marc HAHAHA.

    That’s my evil cackle, btw.

    I am trying to stiffle my laugh. But I cannot.

    Seth is one lucky, lucky boy :)

  13. Jenn on February 16th, 2007 8:59 pm

    LOL You guys are mean.

  14. Slackermommy on February 16th, 2007 9:56 pm

    Maybe we can get a group discount because my kids are definitely going to need therapy!

  15. Steven Novak on February 16th, 2007 10:03 pm

    Therapy is a good thing, no? ;)

    Steve~

    I’m so with you guys. My husband and I are screwed when my kid starts to understand what we’re saying.

    Those comments along with the bedroom door with no door will be great food for fodder when your in laws come to visit…

  18. Sarah on February 18th, 2007 3:22 pm

    Haha! Too bad those weren’t all connected because you could have tied in some little-boy-hunting seals or penguins and then he’d REALLY need therapy later =P

  19. Mikala on February 23rd, 2007 3:22 pm

    Weren’t you just trying to teach him independence? :0)

    Does it make me a bad person for laughing at this? Does it?

    (It’s like the time my Dad told me he wouldn’t take me to the mall to hang out with my friends. Heck, he said he wouldn’t even take me to a dog fight. Then my Mom said, “even if she promises to win?” Thanks Mom!)
