This happened last night.
We’re eating dinner outside.
Crappy Papa and I are talking, talking, talking.
Crappy Boy interrupts our conversation like this:
He seems all excited and happy and like he really has something important to say.
So we pause and I say, “Okay, what is it?”
Awwww. Now that is worth being interrupted for.
I tell him that I love him too.
Then he gets this mischievous look in his eyes and says:
It was his clever way to tell us that he liked the food. Through a joke.
Also worth being interrupted for!

If you’d like to join in on the beef lovefest, it was the polynesian flank steak recipe from my friend Debbie’s cookbook
Ok that actually made me LOL! Thanks for that!
Hahahahaha!
haha cute. if my little girl said that i’d still just imagine she was talking to me.
I read this out loud to my daughter (age 3) and she said, “He was talking to the beef! But beef doesn’t really talk!”
<3
Hahaha! Kid jokes are the best.
And for some reason now all I can think of is “I love lamp”
Hahaha, I also think that anytime someone says they love an inanimate object
Imagine how much beef was delighted!
Ahahahaha….thanks for the laugh to start the morning.
LMAO! Cute! Pineapple on beef sounds amazing. Thanks for the refresher
My husband and I were kissing last night and my 5 yea old son said “Hey! We don’t bite!”. Kids….
Ok, that cracked me up!! Our two girls just always try to squeeze in between us if they see us kissing!
Alma, mine do this same. It becomes this chorus of 3 of them crying and trying to push us apart. Good thing we had them close together or I don’t think there would be any more!
My daughter does too! My husband calls her “the weasel” when she does it.
My 8 year old son just rolls his eyes and sighs disgustedly. *snicker*
Ha. My kids cry if they see us cuddling or playing and try to pull us apart.
haha. I love it. My girls will interrupt us just to say I love you. We’ve never seen the beef part tho.
My daughter has been using hugs, kisses and “I love you”s to defuse me being mad at her for misbehaving. She has me totally figured out. “I love you, Mommy! Now you not grumpy anymore!”
Awww cute story! Was that asparagus or green beans? Either way, I love THOSE!
LOL! So cute
So I guess his “vegan-but-I’ll-still-eat-bacon” phase is just a distant memory by now…LOL
My kids enjoy making this joke:
“I don’t like chips”
“I _love_ chips”
(note, we’re British, so chips are what I think you lot call French fries)
My 3-year-old just said that about bacon! It was two days apart, which really made it funny.
Yes, my 5 year old is obsessed with this “joke” as well. He finds it the absolute height of sly wit.
My 2-year-old’s been stopping dinner conversation saying “Hey! I’m talking now!” And we get quiet and look at her, at which point she puts a huge bite of food in her mouth and just looks back at us. Maybe this is a joke too.
My three-year-old likes to tell me how much he loves other people.
“I love you, boy.”
“I love daddy.”
Aw – praise indeed! Reminds me of my son saying “Oh mammy I love you so very much…” which would’ve brought a tear to my eye if he hadn’t then run off shouting “and I also really love BOOOOOBS!”
LOL!!!!!!!!!
My niece once told my sister, “I love you more than anything in the world! Except my toys.”
That must have been some awesome beef!
from awww to laugh out loud.
i love crappy boy!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo funny! My little one only says a few words now.. can’t wait to hear all of the funny quips she comes up with!
Ah that made me literally lol. I almost woke up my 18 month old daughter.
Too funny! Reminds me of my 3 yr old daughter’s favorite joke: Two muffins are in the oven. One says, “Boy, it’s hot in here!” The other one says, “Ahhh! A talking muffin!”
My muffins talk too! They say: EAT ME!
Come to think of it, cookies, chocolate and potato chips also do that around me… Maybe I need to get my head examined?
It was really funny. I find it interesting and enjoyable.
Hilarious! I can’t wait for these moments.
So crafty!
Love this!
Love this.. and love the disclaimers…
I have two boys, slightly older than yours and have been reading (and back-reading) since I found your blog 2 months ago.. Now I’m up to date! Now we are at the stage of lost DS games between the seats (educative games, blah, blah…) and it sill drives me crazy as it did with the “lost pacifier” during the car trip! I really enjoy your blog! Awesome!
oups… the comment was for your last post about toys in cars…
It’s almost midnight, i’m nursing my 11month old daughter while reading this and I start laughing so hard I almost lose a nipple. (You know the laugh: silent so as to not wake the baby but you do anyway because your body is shaking fro
m trying so hard not make noise).
It’s really 12:00 am not 11:00 pm. I guess my phone wishes it wasn’t so late too.
SO cute!!!
Can’t wait for the comments about the chunks of beef looking way too large for a toddler to eat SAFELY. Don’t you know that unless you shred them into minisule bits, it is unsafe??? Oh, and I hope you didn’t have to run to the loo while your kids were at the table. ;0)
Great story. Thanks for sharing!
