I have been M.I.A. most of this week because I caught the nasty ole' stomach bug. It was NOT fun!! However, I did discover that getting sick in an apartment with one toilette that a 2-year old is also just perfecting his aim is even worse than just having a stomach bug. GROSS!!! I also learned that the french call the stomach bug "getting the G.I.", sounds a little more serious than our version.
Well, moving on to less disgusting topics. The kids have both done and said some pretty funny things the last few weeks and I want to document them, that way when I get home I will remember.
1. Emma was doing school work and saw M-F on our calendar. Not interesting until....we are walking to the Metro this morning and out of the clear blue she says, "Mom, is M.F. a site word?" AH, no, no it's not Em!! Let's not say that anymore. (Dying inside.)
2. Scout has decided that he can yell "FE, FI, FO, Fum I smell the blood of an EnglishMAN!", very angry like at any point in the day. No regard to where we are. We can be at church, the market, a small shop, or on the metro and he will begin this chant from his stomach with a lot of theatrics. Needless to say we get some funny looks.
3. When walking back from the metro Scout has now decided he will just stop. Like a mule. I am not moving anymore. Today I had my hands completely full and could not pick him up, so we just stood for a good 5 minutes until I did what any desperate parent does. "I'll give you candy!!" This is not a fun phase.
4. Also, Mr. Scout has been known to drop his drawers in the streets and begin to tinkle right where he is standing. This has about made his sister die of embarrassment. Fortunately, this is quiet acceptable in Paris.
5. Emma has lost 3 teeth in the last week. She is very excited about this and her enthusiasm is very sweet. When sitting on the Metro last Friday, she noticed an older gentleman gave her a sweet smile and said "Hello". She then opened her mouth and began running her tongue over her gum area where her 2 top teeth would have been, while raising her eyebrows. She looked like a FREAK!! The poor man turned completely around where he couldn't see her anymore. Then Emma says "How rude". No sis, I think you making a weird no teeth face at him was what was rude.
These 2 are CRAZY and if they don't get us arrested it will be a miracle!!! Of course, Jarred and I laugh at 90% of their antics because they really are innocent and the kids have no idea why what they did was funny.
Until Next Time,
Megan
Love it!
