Today I'm the meanest mom ever because...

I'm making them do chores even though it's "a holiday eve. That we should be celebrating!"

7 year old oppression at its finest! All his dreams have been crushed.

Roman Said...

Roman - (peeks his head in the back door) Mom, can you come close the back door for Hudson?
Me - (cutting up chicken for dinner) Um, you are standing AT the back door, can you please close it?
Roman - Well, then I would have to stop playing, and I don't want to waste my play time.
Me - You aren't playing you are standing there talking to me about it.
Roman - Oh fine, fine, fine. But I don't think you understand how precious little play time I have and you're wasting it all for me.

Every night we have to take Roman to the bathroom in the middle of the night,  he pretty much sleeps through it most nights.  Last night I got him up to go to the bathroom and as he was going back to bed he said:

Roman - I'm really excited to go back to sleep, mom.  I know this is going to be a really good book.

Me - What book?

Roman - The one I was about to start before you got me up.

Total book worm!  He even DREAMS about reading books!  :0

Me - Roman, you need to get up, it's 7:00.
Roman - You are lying, it's still dark outside.
Me - Remember, I told you about the time change....
Roman - (covers head) you are lying, you just changed all of our clocks because you want me to go to school early.
Me - Believe me, I want to go back to sleep too.
Roman - okay, turn off the lights and we can go back to sleep.
Me - we have to get ready for school.
Roman - why don't you just change the clocks back?
Me - I wish that would work!

Roman said...

Roman - you don't put enough easy chores on the chore chart. Uuuh (hits wall). And you don't pay me enough to do hard chores.
Me - well I don't get paid enough to listen to you scream. (Commence hiding in my bedroom)

Roman said...

Me - Roman will you please drink the cup of water on the table?
Roman - 2 IKEA cups?
Me - that's fine if they are all the way full.
Roman - I have my own ideas of what's full.
Me - yeah, just drink the cup you have then!

The other day Roman asked if he could play with a friend.  So, I sent his friends mom a text to ask if his friend could play. Roman was watching over my shoulder as I typed.  I typed the text as follows.

"hey, roman is wondering if oliver can play today?"

I was getting ready to send and Roman said.  "Question mark?  That's a statement, ends with a period.  You need to capitalize roman and oliver, they are names.  And hey because it's the first word in the sentence.

He finally gave me the go ahead to send the text once I had corrected my grammatical errors.

The other day Roman was doing his math homework.

Roman - I hate adding money!
Me - that's what Dad does all day at work.
Roman - Dad has the worst job in the WORLD!

Last night after we had put the boys to bed Roman was singing the star spangled banner at the top of his lungs. I went in and told him that he needed to be quiet.

Roman - I can't help it. I LOVE the United States and the history.
Me - Then think about the history while you go to sleep.
Roman - I hope I don't have another nightmare. One night I had a nightmares that we lost the revolutionary war and we were still under England's reign. That was probably one of the worst... nightmares I've ever had.
Me - Maybe don't think about the wars then.
Roman - Our history is filled with wars. How do you expect me to think about the history of the United states and not think about any wars?

Roman said...

Roman - do you say it toosamani?
Me - say what?
Roman - toosamani's
Me - Explain it to me so I understand what you are taking about.
Roman - you know big waves, usually in Japan and Hawaii.

Roman - I'm glad I go to school so early. Or we wouldn't get to see the beautiful morning sky every day.
