the one about idiot parents, part 2

Tara left a comment on my blog about idiot parents, and it reminded me of this funny thing Quayd said.... I have to share.

Remember how I told you that Brett ran over Quayd's bike and we had to buy him a new one? Well, the day after he got his new bike, Quayd went to Amelia's and Tara asked him why he got a new bike. He said, "Well, didn't you hear?" She had, but she said no. We all love to make Quayd say funny things! Anyway, he told her, "Well, my idiot dad ran over my old bike, so he had to buy me a new one."

Isn't that so funny!!!!

the one about idiot parents (Not you, ma!)

I thought about posting this today anyway, but after reading my friend Ramanda's latest blog entry, I knew I had to do it. It's dumb and a little short, but this is proof that Quayd has a total jerk for a mother. I swear this was a total accident. I SWEAR!!!!!

Last night, Quayd was sound asleep in his bed. I had a huge, freezing cold, full to the top, glass of ice water and I totally spilled the WHOLE thing on my sleeping boy. He woke up scared, upset and wet. Isn't that just the saddest thing ever?!?!? What a horrible way to wake up! His bed was soaked, so he had to come sleep with mom and dad. (darnit) I usually hate having him sleep in my bed, but sometimes it is so nice to snuggle him all night. He is such a little cuddle bug.

Back to Ramamda though... She mentioned this quote from the Parent Trap, and I thought it was so funny and true!
"You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, or drive a car. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish! But they'll let any butt-reaming @#$hole be a father." Ramanda mentioned that if you had to have a license to be a parent, hers would have been revoked a long time ago. Well, mine too. I do the dumbest things and it is a wonder that Quayd really loves me and has never tried to run away. Ok, one time he tried to run away because he was in trouble and he said, "I am the worst kid ever!" He packed his bear blank, and a couple of toys and headed out the back door. He only made it to the mailbox, though, before he came back. And can I just say, Quayd is such a WONDERFUL kid and rarely gets in trouble. Not only because he is a little spoiled, but also because he never does anything wrong!!! Seriously. I always say that Heavenly Father must have known what idiots Brett and I were so he made sure to give us the best kid!!! And did he ever. Quayd is so great and I sure hope I don't screw him up. Tara always says of her kids, "We aren't saving for our kids' missions or college, but for their therapy!"
