"Its a happy face!"

So Mommy wasn't up for much cooking tonight.... Does that shock you?! It probably does, but tonight was just not my night! So I thought about making grilled cheese, or mac and cheese.... I just felt like it wasn't "nutritious" enough for the boys. I hate just making mac and cheese for them, makes me feel guilty! That's when it hit me, breakfast for dinner! "BRINNER!" Quite possibly the greatest invention ever thought of! When I was a little girl my mom used to make "brinner" all the time, and we LOVED it! I don't do this "tradition" as often as I should, if I loved it so much as a kid, why wouldn't my boys?? Now, what to make? Pancakes sound easy! I wanted to make it a little special for them, so I decided I'd try my hand at happy face pancakes. I've never made it before, but how hard could it be to figure out!? So 3 HUGE pancake patties later, 1 which was thrown away due to burning I was ready to put my faces together. Bananas for the mouth... What for the eyes and nose?! I hadn't thought this through apparently! Whip cream would work, but that meant making it homemade style.... Did I really want to put the effort in? Sure, why not, they'd enjoy it! 3 dollops of homemade whip cream, eyes and nose, and a brown mini m&m for eyeballs, and this is what it looked like.




X saw his pancake and said, "Hey! It's a happy face! It's the head, with the eyes, and the nose, and the mouth..... Where did his arms go? Where is his penis?!" Hehe.... Funny story! Ready for it?? Here goes:

So I had been told by Katrina that if your child at 3 drew a person with their arms coming out of their body then they were advanced. Where else would the arms come out of you ask? Well, if your 3, the head! So I STUPIDLY told Daddy about this, and we asked X to draw us a picture of a boy. So he did, and unfortunately (and I say this because he was forced to redraw this over and over for another hour!) the arms came out of the head, as did his legs. So Daddy sat with X and his drawing board and showed him how to draw a person with their body, and the legs coming from the body, as well as the arms. I'm not sure where he got this brilliant idea, but Daddy decided that the best trick to get X to learn this drawing method was to add a "pee pee" to the drawing..... Hmm...... LOL! So I catch a glimpse of Daddy drawing a head, a body, 2 legs, 2 arms, and then a "pee pee" between the legs. He asked X, "Ok, do you understand? Can you do it?", X replied, "Yeah, I got it! I can do it now! My turn!". So Daddy handed the drawing pen over, X drew a LARGE head, which is his norm. Then 2 legs coming from the head, 2 arms from the head, and a "pee pee" hanging from the chin of the head. OH MY F'ING GOD! I thought I was going to die! I know I peed a little in my pants, and almost passed out from laughing so hard and long! Backfired on you, didn't it Daddy?! So this is why tonight, X asked where the penis was on the smiley face head.

X seemed to really enjoy his meal, especially the whip cream, Little L hasn't been much into eating lately, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with my cooking skills!.....?
