The DIS Dad's Club V - Man's Room

[Captain_Oblivious]

That's when, for some reason, my brain was disconnected from my mouth....and I just blurted out "I yell at them GET ON THE GROUND SCUMBAG" DW yelled MICHAEL!! as soon as I said it, and no sooner had she started to chastise me when DS started yelling "GET ON THE GROUND SCUMBAG" at the top of his lungs....

I spent the next 45 minutes trying to explain to him that this was NOT what I say....

Fast Forward to yesterday:

Well, he apparently blurted out his new favorite catch phrase at Day Care--while playing outside with his little friends....

It could have been much worse!

Upon scooting a bit closer, I hear that she's saying, "Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap." (Once for each dropped Cheerio).

In other news - we're all checked in for tomorrow's flight to Orlando, with Group A boarding passes. Just ONE MORE SLEEP!

"Crap" is one of my favorite words. I haven't heard the kids say it yet, but it's coming, I'm sure.

ONE MORE SLEEP! Woohoo!

Thanks Don!

So this morning I'm reaching a milestone...

Great post, Stopher! And you're only as old as you feel. I bet you only feel 38 or so...

However... I have recently noted that DD(7) doesn't even need prompting. Whenever she hears a familiar expletive, she instantly responds with her own "PEANUT BUTTER!"

Somehow, I think we need to adopt the phrase PEANUT BUTTER! in here. It just seems appropriate.

When the kids get to the point that you have toraise your voice in a forceful manner to get them to hear or mind you... I have been guilty (now hanging head in shame) of saying..."I'm gonna beat your *** !" Well, a few months ago we were sitting in church and the kids were drawing on paper and then started to fight over what color of crayon they were going to use...all of a sudden during the sermon...you hear Ethan exclaim..."Lauren, I am gonna beat your *** if you dont give me the red crayon"....yes Shari wanted to beat my *** right there for even putting the phrase on the table in the first place. Snickers and a few gasps were heard immediatly following this scene. Needless to say, I did not get much out of the service that day and it was a quiet ride home!

Haha!

A couple of nights ago my DW turned to me and said, "you're not going to get all maudlin on me now just because you're turning 40 are you? I mean, just because you're about to go over the hill?" (Never mind that she turns 40 in February...)

I just looked at her dumbfounded and said "over the hill won't be until I'm 60 or even 70. I have plenty of hill left to climb thank you very much."

I say milk this for all it's worth! "Honey, could you get me a drink? I'm too frail to get to the fridge..."

SET TIMER ON BOMB NOW

Two months later, we are sitting in the living room one night and DW says something about going to see her parents next summer. DS proceeds to tell her that I told him that it costs too much and if he wants to go see them we can't go to Disney anymore so he'd rather go to Disney.

This has been very entertaining reading today!

ok i have a man law that i need help with....

I would like to propose a man law that is the opposite for this:

The word “crud” is an accepted one word post for anyone around here that is just so slammed by life that the can’t even take a break long enough to even check in.


I just haven't found that word yet..


My vacuum cleaner was making a really loud noise so i took the thing apart. 1 hour and about 50 screws later, i had the thing working normal again. Ok not that big of a deal... But when i was done getting the thing back together i had 0 screws left!!!!!!!! I was sure i'd end up with that dreaded extra screw that doesn't go anywhere!

So i ask you, fellow ddc members, to help me come up with a word that can describe this and many other situations where the opposite of crud is needed.

peanut butter!

Like the other “kids say the darndest things” stories, this tickled me, but it also reminded me of something OT that y’all might be able to make use of. The link below leads to a copy of the ring tone that I use for one particular person (specifically my SIL) who has a couple of anger management issues. She does not suffer fools (or perceived fools) gladly and is generally always ready to “whip somebody’s @$$”, which prompted my use of the little sound bite.

(BTW: when I told her about this, she busted out laughing and calls me regularly just to hear it, so I am sharing this with my tongue directly in my cheek).

CLassic!! I am totally stealing this.

 

[that's nice]

Tim...did you never read a comic book or watch Spiderman and His Amazing Friends on Saturday Morning???

Actually it means "Even Higher" pronounced X-CELL-C-OR

Ummm I wasn't into comic books or comic book hero's.... except the Superman movies...

OK, I'll go crawl back into my hole now.

peanut butter!

That's a good one... if Don will allow us to use it. Maybe we can take a DIS Dad's poll (i've been into polls lately {no politics})

(I already know the answer to this, but have to ask anyway...)

Anyone here ever make a "slight mistake" when "instructing their kids?

:

15 years ago we’re living in southern Illinois. My oldest DD is 17 and driving. My Devout Christian Mother from California is visiting with us. I get a call that DD has been in an accident. I rush to the scene and find both of my DD’s and my Mother were in the car and the oldest DD was driving. All are looking sad and my oldest DD is crying. I walk over to her, put my arms around her and gave her a hug and told her everything will be all right. She looks me in the face, tears running down her face and said, “No It’s NOT! I said the **** in front of Grandma!” She wasn't worried about the car, she was worried about what her Grandmother thought of her.
Made my day.

 

[prattpak]

Wow... just discovered the TP crowd calculator had changed their method of forecasting crowd levels. The new way seems more logical to me. Wonder how accurate they have been

Where does one find this level? Im looking for the week of Dec 11th -18th.

Well... you can only get 30 days' worth if you do not subscribe. But... do a Google search on "Disney Crowd Calendar" and it should be the first result

I had to take myself to time out..

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who's done this..

My DW is the one w/ the potty mouth, and the 3 yr old picks up things on accident. you are NOT alone.

Actually... when I first started reading your post that's what I thought you were going to say! I'll never forget the day I was in my garage... had the car up on all four jacks trying to pull the transmission from the engine and it wouldn't budge. I was on hour 2 trying to separate the two... I thought I was all alone in the garage and let out a very loud and meaningful ****. I didn't realize at the time that my DW and my DD(3 at the time) were standing at the door (just opened the door). Fortunately my DW had the quick sense to cover up the situation by letting out an equally enthusiastic "PEANUT BUTTER!". See, in our house, when an expletive is heard we immediately say "peanut butter". Apparently DW was informed one day that the child will remember only the last thing that is said... so... she chose that code word.

However... I have recently noted that DD(7) doesn't even need prompting. Whenever she hears a familiar expletive, she instantly responds with her own "PEANUT BUTTER!"

PEANUT BUTTER is my new favorite expletive. Even better than "expletive"

OK I have a MAN LAW that I need help with....

I would like to propose a man law that is the opposite for this:

The word “CRUD” is an accepted one word post for anyone around here that is just so slammed by life that the can’t even take a break long enough to even check in.

I use wOOt quite a bit, so i'd propose that over Peanut Butter, in the context here, because Peanut Butter seems to be more of a negative, per the original poster.


88 days... then it's POR... 9 of us in 2 rooms. DxDDP, and New Years Eve Fireworks...

Oooooo... forgot about WOOT! I second that nomination

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Oooooo... forgot about WOOT! I second that nomination

WOOT probably works better in context (I kinda like Homer's Woohoo! better though). Maybe Peanut Butter should be the official DDC curse word.

71 days to POR 8 of us in 3 rooms (less stinky) MVMCP, DS Birthday, DW and my Aniversary and taking friends on their honeymoon (hence the 3rd room! )

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Oooooo... forgot about WOOT! I second that nomination

That one works for me as well and…

Maybe Peanut Butter should be the official DDC curse word.

I second this one


78 days till we head down to POR for our family Christmas present. Can’t wait!!!

 

[Rental01]

Maybe Peanut Butter should be the official DDC curse word.

Third!

 

[Cinderella's Fella]

Third!

Oh, Peanut Butter, I wanted to be third!

Anyone here ever make a "slight mistake" when "instructing their kids?

This happened a few days ago:

DS (who's 2, almost 3) is just starting to get that daddy "catches bad guys"...well, he was pretending to "catch bad guys", and daddy--freshly home from hanging out with nothing but dudes for 5 months--was playing too. Well, he asked me..."Daddy, what do you say when you catch them?" (DW was watching all this go down)...

That's when, for some reason, my brain was disconnected from my mouth....and I just blurted out "I yell at them GET ON THE GROUND SCUMBAG" DW yelled MICHAEL!! as soon as I said it, and no sooner had she started to chastise me when DS started yelling "GET ON THE GROUND SCUMBAG" at the top of his lungs....

I spent the next 45 minutes trying to explain to him that this was NOT what I say....

Fast Forward to yesterday:

Well, he apparently blurted out his new favorite catch phrase at Day Care--while playing outside with his little friends....

DW made ME go in and explain it to the Director---who's husband (luckily) is a State Trooper and thought it was funny....--however, I still got "the speech"

I say it was DW's fault because she focused on it at the beginning

I had to take myself to time out..

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who's done this..

So this morning I'm reaching a milestone, and next Monday I'll be reaching a very different milestone. This past Monday I reached another very different milestone as well. It's just a week of milestones I guess.

Before long you'll have collected enough of those milestones to build something nice.

WOOT probably works better in context (I kinda like Homer's Woohoo! better though). Maybe Peanut Butter should be the official DDC curse word.

I like it!

 

[Pjimmeyer]

Hmm...let me try it. PEANUT BUTTER. Peanut butter. PEAnut butter. OH PEANUT butter! I like it!

 

[AirGoofy]

I say it was DW's fault because she focused on it at the beginning

Yes, it's the DW's fault. It's always the DW's fault.

So I ask you, fellow DDC members, to help me come up with a word that can describe this and many other situations where the opposite of CRUD is needed.

A second or third for The Homer Simpson, "woohoo".

 

[GoHerd1028]

Getting ready to head to bed here but I wanted to ask you guys to keep Shari in your prayers tomorrow. Her surgery is scheduled for 130 tomorrow afternoon. I will try to keep updates on Facebook as I can. I am going to spend the night with her tomorrow night at the hospital.

I would love to help you with this one, but I'm completely unfamiliar with this sensation.
