Anyway, I put down Nexium but I couldn't remember the other medication I took at night for my Acid Reflux. So, I called my mom because she seems to be able to remember EVERYTHING.
Me: Hi Mom! Can you remember the name of that medicine I take at night? The one that dad took for 14 days? It starts with a P.
Mom: Oh, yeah. Prozac.
Me: (huh?) No, I'm not on Prozac. Its for my tummy. Do you remember?
Mom: Oh, sorry, yeah. It's Prilosec.
Me: Yeah, that's it!
Geez....subconsciously, my mother thinks I should be on Prozac!!! Well, that is what I got out of that conversation anyway!!!
And, not to leave out my father.....
(phone rings)
Me: Hello?
Dad: Kim?
Me: No, this is Karla.
Dad: What are you doing answering Kim's phone? Nevermind, I'll talk to you later. Bye.
Me: Uh, ok. Bye, Dad.
Typical.....
Then, my mom calls me the other day:
Mom: Zander learned a new word.
Me: (Uh oh?) Is it bad?
Mom: Depends on your opinion. I was giving him a bath and he let a stinky in the tub. He pointed behind him and said "poot". (laughing)
Me: I taught him that! But he never said it for me before. Awww.....how cute! Was his mouth in a little "o" when he said it?
Mom: Yes...it was cute.
Ok, seriously, we are ooohing and awwwing over my son calling his stinky a "poot"!
This is what I imagined that he looked like when he said it:

Awww, he's so cute! Thanks for giving me my Zander fix!
Love it!!!!
I love it when you blog your phone transcripts!! Too funny.
He is so cute! At least you didn't teach him anything bad. Ned kept clinging to my bum the other week so I told him to get off otherwise I would toot on him. Guess what he says to me all the time now? "Mom, I'm going to toot on you!". But to top it off, the other day he actually came in, stuck his bum on me and did one.
Yes, I am a proud parent who teaches my four year old to toot on other people!
You are too funny! The other day Porgie said, "Fuck it!" I was so proud.
Aw, what a cutie! Love the little "o" mouth! And LOL at the Prozac conversation!!
he must have gotten that kind of talk from our e-mails from yesterday.. you and Kris and your potty mouths... me being the angel I am...
ya,, that's what happened!
Um...hippie girl..I have the archive in my RM at work if you'd like me to pull it up!!! Oh, you were an active part, yes you were!!!
Whoa Whoa Whoa!!! Leave me out of this. All I said was something about about a fetish. No potty words (that I can remember). lol
Very cute photo :-)
Pregnancy brain, Mummy brain and then you get Menopause brain....sighhhh
In Wisconsin a guy just got sent to jail for shooting his lawnmower.
You make sure Zander keeps pooting his lawnmower, it is so much safer.
Mothers - they'll always just whisk the wind straight out of your sails.
I LOLed at your dad calling the wrong kid - my parents do that ALL the time. They'll dial me up and then be surprised I'm not one of my sisters. I kind of get it when they do that from home, but when they call on their cell phones, with the voice-activated dialing, I'm always a little bit "Um, didn't you just tell your phone to CALL HEATHER, guys?" :D
Zander is the CUTEST thing. That "o" face is adorable!!
Cheers!
Two things...why do parents do that kind of stuff...ya know like the way your Dad answered the phone. I don't do that now, will I do that then? But I guess it makes for a funny story. Because it was funny!
And Z's face is just adorable. Get ready, because that is just the beginning of the potty humor. It never ever ends!
Too funny. When The Girl was about three, she could not open the back door. I heard her mutter under her breath "Damnit!" and I was filled with pride and horror. I was mostly proud, though, because at least she used the word correctly!
He's too cute!
Ok, your dad is hilarious! He's got that random thing going on that I love so much.
I remember this one! It's like conversations with my parents!
Prilosec, Prozac... I can see getting that confused. Cover both bases and you can be REALLY happy that you don't have heartburn!
BTW, have I mentioned that Z is adorable?
Sorry to be the one to inform you of this but that Mommy memory thing?... It only gets worse. Mine are 18 and 15 and I scarcely remember my own name sometimes... So good luck with that!
:-)
Isn't he adorable!
I think that you are right. Pregnancy takes your brain and never ever gives it back.
That is to funny. I love the phone call from your dad. He sounds a lot like mine.
It's true...after you have kids sometimes you just can't "find" words.
Awww - that is too cute!
As for the memory thing ... yep, it's true and not much comes back. My oldest, what's her name, is now 14 years old and my memory stinks.
As my friend says, babies eat brain cells. My theory is that it's the sleep deprivation that causes permafog.
My memory is the same way!! I just don't remember details. I have a friend who remembers EVERYTHING...she's my back up...my go to girl.
Also, loved the phone conv with your Dad...funny. It's sweet that he calls you girls though.
Please capture him on video saying "Poot!" with his perfectly-formed, o-shaped mouth. Then post it here for all of us to see...'cause that would just ROCK!
LOL he's too cute!
Too funny...it's known as a "toot" in our house and it still cracks me up everytime they say it!
Prozac/Prilosec, they're all the same right? =)
I think any word could be cute coming out of the right mouth.
If you take prozac it probably would help you stomach = less stress and probably not a care in the world. LOL!
So great. I love the whole Prozac/ Prilosec thing. Also, that is just like my dad. "what are you doing answering your sister's phone" then hangs up. hee hee hee. I like your family!
Your dad cracks me up!
And "poots" are very funny!
Love the "O" face!
Happy SITS Day!
I love the anecdotes. Maybe you don't have preganancy brain, maybe your did is rubbing off on you.
How cute he is!
My kids would have had words that were much more harsh!
Gotta love our dads! My dad once told someone that he didn't feel good after a big meal so he took a Xanax and felt great! Of course, he meant Zantac...
Zander's O face is toooo funny!
He is such a cutie!
hehe. That is so funny! And Zander is such a cutie! I love the conversations. :)
Weird convo's with the parents but I guess that's what happens for living with them for so long. LOl
VERY CUTE Convo with Zander.
Zander is a cutie.
I enjoyed your conversations with both your mom and your dad. hehe
Fun post!
It sounds like they should make a sitcom out of ya'al's life :)! Your mom and dad sound every bit as entertaining as like Ray and Marie Barone!
What a cute face that is! Too funny.
Prozac...Prilosec...it's all good! :) Cute blog!
From SITS!
Heehee, you have a cute family!
Cute! I know my son can get away with saying just about anything now cause it's cute. He'll probably be in for a shock later...
LOL When Devon was 4 her sisters and cousin said who creaked the house (that's what my nephew used to say when he farted) and she turns to them dead serious and says you're so silly that's not a fart it's just a smell molecule.
Gotta love the poots!
It only gets better when in public and you might let one squeak out (of course that never happens to any of us), they announce, proudly with their new word, mommy poot and point to your bottom...
Gotta love the little ones and their discoveries.
So cute. I love it when they are this age. And I totally understand the whole pregnancy memory loss. I blame it on that all the time, we need to create an experiment to prove it.
The new little purple pill...Prozac! LOL! And "poot" is so cute! I should teach my son...right now he just thinks he's suppose to laugh. Of course he learned that from his siblings.
He's adorable. It's great when they don't just learn a new word, but know exactly when to use it. Congrats on your SITS day.
I want to meet your dad he sounds like alot of fun!! lol
Okay, that post made me laugh outloud.
First, my Mom would have done the same thing with the Prozac, I think she thinks I should be on that sometimes.
Second, your Dad calling you and then wanting to know why you are answering a different phone....Classic
Third, I loved when my kids learned a new word and it was a little saucy. Expecially if they said the word and it had to do with a bodily function and laughed. A childs laughter is so contageious!!
Once again, congrats on your SITS day. You're blog will be one that I read again on any given day.
He is so cute.
Watch out though... once my boys learned these things, they wouldn't stop talking about them. It's constant bodily fluid or gas talk around here. Can't we just talk about rainbows and roses every once in awhile?
At least he didn't say, "I just ripped one!" That face is absotively, posilutely precious.....!
He is adorable!!
My hubby asked me if I picked up my Valtrex prescription...you know the one for herpes...he meant Imitrex (for migraines). Oh, and we were at a restaurant and I know people heard him!!
My memory has never been the same since having kids!
What a cutie he is!
I just want to squeeze those little cheeks!!
Glad it's not just me that lost her memory after having kids. I'm telling ya, I should have gone to college before having kids, not after, then at least I'd remember what I learned :) You little boy is darling.
Awww... cute!
way cute! he is such a cutie!!!
What is it about bodily functions that is so "stinkin'" funny? The redhead has become quite gassy recently and laughs at himself when he "poots". Hysterical!
"Poot" is the best word ever for tooting. I refer to my own occasional gassy moments as "Princess Poots," which makes my husband laugh.
Oh gosh I can't believe I wrote that.
I find it funny that things people do that disgust us are some how funny when small children do them.
If it makes you feel any better, I canNOT use the prescription refill service for my birth control. I can never remember the name of it. And when I have it in front of me, I can't pronounce it well enough to have the system recognize me. Glad you got the right one listed on your form though!
Adorable! As moms, we get excited about the funniest stuff.
As for the prozac, perhaps your mom and dad are keeping a secret about his medication?
I don't know which is funnier.. you calling it a "stinky" or him calling it a "poot"!
Your parents are hilarious! And with a little one too, now I see why you would be laughing a lot! Congrats on your SITS day!
Parents are like overgrown children. And the older they get the worse they get. My dad is going deaf and is more emotional than ever. I never expected my "once a Marine, always a Marine" dad would ever get this way!
CUTE! How did you get your name all cute like that???
ok then
What a litle angel! You could have photographed a porcelain doll and no one would have been the wiser.
Hmm- all this talk of poot just gave the whiff I got of dinner in the slowcooker a nasty subconscious twist.
Kids Say it better than anyone!!
Z's so adorable!!
Gotta love parents! :)
Happy SITS day!
