Momma's Boy

Roman: Mom! Mom! Take a picture of me.


Me: Okay. Be still. Smile.







"Okay, Mr. Funny Man. Be serious."







"Roman! Knock it off. Be serious."

"I said 'be serious.' You don't have to look all droopy and dead!"


Roman: What?! I look dead???

"Okay. Nevermind. Just smile."



[reviewing the shot] "What's that on your face?"


Roman: Cinnamon.


"Cinnamon. Where did you get cinnamon?"


Roman: (looking guilty. Very guilty.) Soooorry.


[resisting the urge to roll eyeballs and huff at boy. Not succeeding very well. ] "Where is the cinnamon at?"


Roman: (very long pause) In the bathroom.


[many minutes later after said cinnamon has been cleaned off of bathroom sink. and mirror. and floor. and toilet. and boy's face.]



She thinks the whole thing is hilarious!

The face next to the dead comment cracks me up.

4 year old came down the stairs today semi-nude with his legs tucked in his shirt. Talented, I know.
I told him to stand up.
"I can't. I'm a turtle."
"You mean you can't because I might see the ink all over your legs."
"...Yesdon'tspankme..."

So I punished him by giving him a haircut and a bath....

Cinnamon?!?! He was eating it plain? Doesn't he know it needs to be added to about twice as much sugar to make it tasty?

What a ham!!

So I am curious...what is the cinnamon that you can eat in the bathroom?

Mom said...

This was absolutely SO sweet! Roman is a guy with many..many...expressions! (Just ask the ladies on the back pew in Church!) LOL

Xazmin said...

Okay, that. was. ADORABLE! Loved he dialog, and the pictures!

Mama Nut said...

Channy--I had made French toast that morning and Roman snagged the cinnamon off of the counter because he thought it might taste good, apparently. When he wants to hide from me and make messes the bathroom is usually his top pick. Oh the joy!
