I forgot to tell you guys THIS one....

So you know how I had Ella’s birthday party last weekend? And how my dad brought my sister’s 2 kids (and didn’t send a gift… ahem)? I forgot to tell you this part.

My 10 year old nephew was sucking on an empty Gatorade bottle. He was sucking so hard, that he was suctioning it to his face. Yeah, very funny kid. So he did it SO hard & SO many times that he gave himself a red ring around his mouth, you know, like a hickey. It was like a very thin mustache of broken blood vessels.

My father starts telling me to put makeup on it & cover it up. Ridiculous. I am not putting cover-up on a 10 year old boy. He’s my nephew, not Boy George. The kid is messed up enough, I am not going to introduce makeup & cross dressing into his life. But thanks.

So my father, in his infinite wisdom, takes a handkerchief out of his pocket (he’s 70, he still uses them) and tied it around my nephew's neck. Like Jesse James And tells him to play cops & robbers. Um, ok.

So here’s my nephew walking around the party wearing this stupid fricking thing across his mouth. My DH’s aunt, who I ADORE says “OH Andrew, you’re SO SCARY! You look like a robber! Please don’t rob me” and hold up her hands (like she’s being held up.)

My nephew’s reply?

“Lady, if I was going to rob you, I’d wear a ski mask.”

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. My in-laws are now ALL talking about it. And saying how 'its not his fault, it's his mother.' Awesome. Beth strikes again.

Below is my MIL, my dad, Ella & my sister’s kids. Note the bandana around my nephew’s neck & the red mustache.

CLASSIC!!!!!!! My mother would have knocked my teeth out I say NO sleepovers over there for Ella!

FUNNY story!!!!!!

How was Ella's party?

My Dad is 73 and comes up with some doozies too.
Started to scare the heck out of my 6 year old niece and 9 year old nephew describing his recent skin cancer surgery, where they kept cutting and cutting into his neck.
I told him (in German) to knock it the heck off. My DH got the gist of what I was saying.

Your nephew doens't look bad in the picture. I wouldn't blame his mom for this, it is just something that boys do. They do stupid things like that. As for the comment about the ski mask, there is so much crap that kids pick up from TV and games.
As a kid, I'd prbably get a crack across the mouth if I ever said something like that, but times are different now.

unreal! sorry that it's now the topic of conversation amongst your inlaws!!

I have to agree with Susi on this one. Kids just are retarded. When i did my student teaching, you wouldn't believe the stuff I saw on a daily basis. They're just goofy and older adults soemtimes have no filter anymore.

i intend to be a momma who is HATED LMAO because there will be 2 hours of TV for the kids and thats it if I get to be a stay at home mommy for awhile. Go read a book.
