"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, OLD LADY!"

 Spider Monkey #1, Connor

Oh my... Another day is about to end.  I am EXHAUSTED!  Went to Walmart to go grocery shopping with the spider monkeys today.  Why do I take them with me?  Actually, my oldest spider monkey, Connor, is manageable to shop with.  Well, on most occassions that is.  I can almost always bet that he is going to say something embarrassing or something will come out of his mouth that will blow me away.

Today he wanted to wear his lil paper crown from Burger King to go shopping in.  I was fine with that.  He walked the youngest spider monkey, Corbin, around the store on the baby leash.  (Judge me if you must, but if you saw the youngest spider monkey in a store without it, you would say that he needs one!)  Connor was a wonderful help for the most part.  I had to get on to him for jerkin Corbin's leash around at times.  He found a foam sword in the toy department and wanted to carry it around the store because he is 'The King'.  He was talkin to me and Corbin as if we are his servants.  I had to get on to him a few times for being a bit bossy.  

Finally we go to checkout.  The youngest spider monkey is tired and screaming.  The screaming and crying really didn't start then... he acts like that the entire time he's in a store.  So, I hear Corbin screaming and yelling and having a fit... I am trying to put on the belt the things I am buying and keep out the stuff that got sneaked into the cart and I hear "KISS MY FEET, LADY, AND I WILL GIVE YOU 3 WISHES!"  It took me a moment to realize that was my kid's voice and I look behind me and see him swinging the foam sword at an older woman (60's maybe?).  She was laughing and before I could really reprimand him for speaking that way to a complete stranger and for sounding so rude for a king, he gets all gruffy and swings his sword at her sayin "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, OLD LADY!".  Oh my... No he didn't just go there.  The woman didn't laugh this time, she smiled, but it was a kind of offended smile that told me my kid went too far.  Sure everyone else in hearing range got a good laugh, but I felt like dyin!  I told him to apologize and he kept askin "It's funny, momma.  I just kiddin'!  I can't really cut her head off with this big knife!"  He did apologize but I don't think he really meant it.  He was just kiddin...  We had a talk when we got to the momma bus about respecting people and not calling old people "old".  I don't think he gets it though.  He just said "Okay momma!  I said sorry.  She was smiling.  She's not mad at me.  It's just pretend, is all."  

I swear, I don't think I ever embarrassed my momma in public saying stuff like that!  Of course, she may say otherwise.  

My Connor is asleep for the night... he looks so cute when he sleeps!  Sometimes I think I like my kids better when they are sleepin.  LOL!   I remember when I didn't think he was ever going to talk and now he never stops!  Seriously, it's non-stop.  If he's not talkin, then he's making some sound that drives me insane.  I guess it's a boy thing...  

I am a tired momma tonight!  Goodnight world... XOXO!
