kiwords endures a rather embarrassing conversation over Sunday lunch:

“Hey, you know what happened the other night?”

Oh lord, I thought, freezing, my hand clutching my spoon in midair, no no no, he’s not going to -

“Dad was jumping on the bed!”

Oh no.

“WHAT?” said Raphael. “I’M not allowed to jump on the bed.”

Charlotte Otter puts together a collection of very amusing quotes from her 3 year old son:

Mummy: “Wouldn’t you like to walk now, Ollie? My back is getting a little sore.”
Ollie: “No. But fank you for the kind offer.”

I can’t look away from this recipe for Pistachio Cherry Oatmeal Cookie bars at Baking Bites. Mmmm. Ooh, and this lovely recipe for a brioche loaf. Gorgeous.

A Bird’s Nest discusses life with brand new twins:

Upon discharge from the NICU, we were handed one sheet of instructions per baby. Each item was basically phrased as “Do (or Do not do) X, or else YOUR BABY WILL DIE.” My previous placidity has been forever ruined by these little yellow pieces of paper, as every time I violate a precept (OMG baby slept on its side, not on its back!!1!), I have visions of the jury that will convict me of killing my children.

O Mighty Crisis wrote an hilarious entry about a birthday gift:

“Shucks and bother, but birthdays are nothing but a vexation. I am graveled that you pay them any mind when you know full well tomorrow’s washing day, and we’re plumb out of lye.” My mind, to tell you true, was cogitating on what a tight scratch it would be to hamper a new school marm into crossing the Mississippi and taking on that passle of ne’r-do-wells in the one-room schoolhouse.

And a really fantastic birth story:

To this day, I don’t know who was right in that debate at the high school, but a part of me hopes God and Darwin fled the building and settled the argument afterwards by kickin’ it on the curb and drinking a couple 40’s of malt liquor.

And finally, Kiko learns a new word at A Was Alarmed:

Mammy: (fooling about with the microwave, trying to enter the cooking time but repeatedly mucking it up) Oh sh- (notices she has a small person beside her, watching her with acute interest) shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……….. (tapers off)

Kiko: (helpfully) Shit?
