This week’s ‘quote of the week’, has come from my Son – Daniel.
Daniel is very much a Tasmanian Devil; wherever he whirlwinds past, is left devastated. We despair his ability to break anything and everything he holds.
To get him to tidy up after himself is a major task, requiring rock like resolve and strength of belief.
Daniel can spend a good hour arguing why he should not spend 5 minutes tidying his mess.
That is Daniel – he is 9. I suspect he is not the only 9 year old boy that does this.
Daniel was watching something on TV with his Mum that featured a piece about some boy that had OCD, the boy constantly had to have everything about him spotless.
Jo did not se this coming and may have had a minor pelvic floor issue, when Daniel said..
“I’m like that – I think I might have that OCD?”
Absolutely priceless – I just love that boy!

Chortle! I love the self-delusion of the under 10 set. They just have no idea really. It's gorgeous. x
I just adore children and all the funny things they say! This past week my nephew had an exchange with his mother:
Seth: Mom, do girls toot?
Mama: Ya, everybody does.
Seth: (Thinking..) Mom, does grandma toot?
Mama: Yep.
...Seth: (another thoughtful pause...) That's weird!
HHHMMMmmm... so you only SUSPECT that other 9 year olds might share Daniel's mania!!
Hilarious!!!
Have a great weekend!
That is hilarious!! I think the same way he does.
**Celine Dion singing on tv** Me: I could TOTALLY DO THAT!!
(Then comes the crushing realization that I was mistaken)
We all have our dreams.
Upon thinking about this more,
A good answer would've been:
NOcd!
(har har-probably funnier in my twitsted brain)
Maxabella - yup, they inhabit their own space/time alright
DangGina - :-) If there is one thing that ALL Grandma's do - it's Toot!
Red Nomad - it's just a hunch
Katie - NOCD, to coin a phrase - and Celine Dion - I think I've just thought of what you could do on your vlog ;-p
Aww...I'm sure it's the only the disorder you wish your child DID have, too. What a cutie, that's darling.
Funny how we see ourselves so differently. I still believe I am a tall, slender blonde with amazing blue eyes. Hey, it could happen.
