My kid is wierder than your kid
This morning as Seth was filling Abbeydog’s food dish, I happened upon quite a little scene.
Seth was bent over. I could tell he was “going commando” by the way his jeans hung. Those jeans revealed at least two inches of what we like to call “little bunny buttcrack.” Nestled in between those little cheeks was a giant Pixie Stick we’d gotten a few days ago when we gave some spare change to a man soliciting donations for his church.
That big ole’ Pixie Stick, still packed with sugary goodness, has seen alot of action these past few days. It has mostly been a used as a Star Wars light saber and wand, ala Harry Potter. That is, until this morning.
“Bun,” I said. (And yes, he still lets me call him “Bun” or “Bunny”.) “Why do you have a Pixie Stick down the back of your pants?”
“Because,” he said emphatically. “That’s my TAIL.”
Oh…
Later on he told me he was a Jedi Knight — with a tail.
Needless to stay that’s one Pixie Stick that’s definitely not going to be ingested.

OMG. I almost choked on my coffee at the mental image.

Sounds like Seth just discovered use #103 for a Pixie Stick!!

Well, then. A tail. Aren’t those things sharp on the ends? Pointy where the plastic is melded together? Um, OW.

So, so funny! Okay, you win, but I have to admit I’ve had similar moments with my darlings!

And be grateful that he didn’t forget about it and sit down!

Maybe we shouldn’t get together to play anymore…..pixie sticks down the hinie crack….and you know that Jake is a follower…. hmmmm. I guess it is ok, as long as they don’t eat it.

I say once he sets it down it “disappears” then distract him with something else! Too funny!

I can’t wait until my daughter can talk and give me such good laughs!
Oh, I guess I can wait…I like her the way she is now, too.
But I’m glad I have Seth for laughs!

nothing like a little extra flavor.

Hi! This was my first time visiting your site and MY GOSH. That was a funny one to see first!
Kirsten on 14 Dec 2007 at 7:52 pm #
Too funny! Grayson would TOTALLY appreciate this. He really wants a tail!
Alex Elliot on 14 Dec 2007 at 8:12 pm #
That is hilarious! What a creative kid! Mine use a stethoscope wrapped around their waists for tails. That’s not as direct as a pixie stick!

why do I have such a tough time reconciling this image with the one I have in my head of you from blogher?
wow.

AAAGGHHH!!! You can’t MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!
ABunsLife on 16 Dec 2007 at 5:10 am #
You did NOT just put a picture of it up……this may be worse than naked baby pictures when he grows up!

I’ve been reading in bloglines lately, sort of lurking, but I just had to comment on this one because I just caught a glimpse of my future and it is going to be hilarious.
Also, I really like the redesign. Don’t know how long it’s been because of the whole lurking on bloglines thing, so I hope I’m not, like, way late with the compliment. : )

My kind of post! Love that!

Too funny! What’s even funnier is you telling this story to a room full of stuffy, uptight people!

OMG, I have an almost 5 year old who is Star Wars obssessed, and I can TOTALLY identify with this story. Thanks for the laugh!
