It has just hit me like a ton of bricks that poor Lukey has no chance at being a normal kid....Eugene and I have warped him horribly without even realizing it! If you take all my oddities and mix it with all of Eugene's little hang ups you've got Luke!! Oh my! Oh my! What are we going to do????
Here's the cold hard facts:
I'll start with picking apart Eugene....that is much easier than having to realize my own issues....he holds onto things beyond the normal range of time you're suppose too....not just in a drawer or in a box under the bed, but in his pockets! There are things in his pockets he's been carrying around for years I'm sure of. He once went through a stage in college where he always had a tennis ball with him....crazy huh? Now I completely see that in Luke....you know how last week or so it was oranges...now it is clothing tags...check out his hand in the video below!
Okay...so now onto the serious stuff, my "issues"...I was a stuffer...at least that's what I call it, I got a thrill out of stuffing things in my ears (which made for some painful earaches) or any hole I could find... Luke is so like that! He has a crazy obsession with it, he actually will walk around the house sometimes finding bits of things and sticking it up his nose....once at home I had to hold him down and get a corn kernel out his ear, and once at my moms he stuck one up his nose that she had to retrieve it with tweezers! And I'm horrified to admit.....but I caught him trying to take his temperature with his Mr. Potato head eyes! And no he wasn't pretending it was under his tongue!
The worst of all.....how can I put this delicately, I had a potty mouth as a child...I just loved to shock people and watch them react, I had a radar for bad words, nasty hand gestures, and unladylike phrases! I would hear something once and it would stay with me, I should disclose that I NEVER heard any of these things at home. Just to give you an idea.....I once shot my preacher a bird!! I once dropped my breakfast at daycare and said oh #$%*!.....see something was/is wrong with me...I just hide it better as an adult and maybe I've learned some manners along the way!
Now...finally on to why I freaked out today and realized all the permanent, irretrievable damage we've done to Luke through our DNA....
My mom sent me this clip today, Luke decided Caroline needed "war paint", he found some Desitin and went to town on my poor Innocent sweet little baby girls face! The more disturbing issue...C R A P is his new favorite word! He is actually saying it in the video! C R A P today...what does tomorrow hold!! Also, last night I told him not to pick his boogers and he came back at me with "Jesus picks his boogers!".....I think I need to just stay in a constant state of prayer for my baby boy until he's at least 18! Any of you that want to join in my effort are welcome to do so!
Girl - I am dying laughing. I can't believe I spent a WHOLE HOUR with you tonight and you did not mention that Jesus picked his buggers!!! That is hilarious. I mean, it isn't but it is.
Don't stress honey....he is 2. It will only get more interesting before it gets better.
hee hee......Jesus picked his buggers....I don't think I'll ever let you live this one down......

I showed this video to people at work today. We all got a good laugh! At least it's just CRAP. It could be a lot worse! "Jesus picks his boogers" is hilarious!

I tried this comment once and it didn't work. I'll try again.
