Gills R' Us

Because of the popularity of the following stories via e-mail, I decided to throw them up on the blog for others to enjoy....

May 28, 2009:
Deklan comes into the office and asks to play store. I oblige. He presents his first object, a drum, that he says he's buying for his girlfriend. I asked what his girlfriend's name was.
He paused, and then responded, "well there's more than one."
"More than one girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"Well they will be mad if you can't remember their names."
"I will go ask them their names."
Deklan left the office and I heard him arguing out in the living room, yelling ' I SAID, WHAT IS YOUR NAME!?'
I heard no response from the girls.
Deklan walked back into the store and said promptly, "One of their name's is Bunny Rabbit, one is Orange, and one is...um..Apple."
There was a brief pause. He shyly looked up at me in the eyes, and said, "I love them."

He purchased the drum for $7.00, stated he needed it in a bag, and left the store. But I'm not worried, I'll see him again. A man with three girlfriends who only purchased one drum, will be back for more.

To give a background for this short story, I have had to instruct Deklan in the past (and present) to talk loudly when speaking to my mom due to her hearing impairments.

"She can't hear very well because her ears are broken."

I have said this numerous times, as this is the best way I can describe the situation to a once 2 year old, and now 3 year old.

Another thing that has been repeatedly expressed from my mouth is, "Do NOT poop in your pants!"

Two days ago, Deklan comes up beside me at the computer and says boldly, "Mom, are my ears broken?"
"What?" I replied.
"Are my ears broken?......'cuz I just pooped in my pants a little."
