Am I crazy or.....

So am I crazy or has Destructo created his own word for no?

Me: Booger, put that spoon down please.
Destructo: Dah!
(Inserts spoon back in mouth)

Me: Come back sweetie! Don't go in the dining room.
Destructo: (Stops in motion, slowly turns head, looks me dead in the eye) "Dah Dah!"
Scoots into the dining room to play with the train under the Christmas tree (I know, I still have until tomorrow to take it down!)

Me: Destructo, you get down from that stair and stop climbing on your gate!
Destructo: Dah dah dah dah dah Nah Dah!
Me: Are you sassing me?"
Destructo: DAh nah Dah na Dah Dah!
Doc.Doc: I think he just told you to back off!
Destructo continues to rattle on the gate like King Kong on top of the empire state building.

So ladies, is it possible for a 10 1/2 month old to get sassy or am I just delusional? If you need more info to form a case study, there are more such incidences. I was just curious. I love my son it is just amazing how much changes in a year. It is so awesome to watch his personality grow and I can already tell what it will be like when he's 20. This little defiant streak has me thinking though, could you image him in his teens!

Cut to Scene

Me: So I see your cleats are still in the living room. Could you please put them in your room.
Destructo: Gah mom! Just give me a second!
Me: One. Your second is up.
Destructo: (Eye Roll then stomps down the hall)
Me: (Followin close behind) What did you say?
Destructo: Huh, I didn't say anything!
Me: But you were thinking it! I'm all up in your head so you better check your thoughts young man!

...and Scene

I've wanted to use that last line since I was a teen. My mom used it on me and it would always cause two simultaneous reactions annoyance and paranoia, could she really sense my thoughts? Just wanted to leave you all with some mommy food for thought.

Destructo Strikes Again!

I thought maybe you all would get a chuckle out of the e-mail I had to send to all of my friends about my latest cellphone.

My beautiful 5-month old Blackberry pearl is dead. I watched it take its last breath Monday. I hooked it up to life support throughout the night but my efforts were futile. I finally pulled the plug yesterday morning when there had been no sign of recorded brain activity for longer than 12 hours. I am currently in the process of pressing charges but I don't know how well a trial would go with a 10-month old since he cannot defend himself. I think it’s technically illegal. I guess its partially my fault. The next time you think about giving your innocent phone to your teething child to pacify him, think again. Whenever you laugh at your child slobber dialing, think of all of the pain the cellphone is being caused. In its last month of life, my phone's camera and video recorder were broken. Do you know what that makes it? Just a cellphone. No better than the huge one Zack Morris used on Saved by the Bell! Long story short- my phone is broken and with the holiday coming up I probably won't get around to fixing it until next week. If you are even thinking about calling me, please just send me a message. I have to go, I have a funeral to plan. Chew toy's can be sent in lieu of flowers.
