Overheard at the Hero Home

Some odd things have been heard at our home the past few days. It's been really hot, so our dear neighbors the F* Family, (FF) have been coming over every afternoon. They come over in mass, all four kids, the youngest (EFF) being FH's best friend. The kids come over and tell us the funniest things. Also, S* Friendly Hero's other best friend is moving. I have watched him now every afternoon this week as his mom packs. We love having him come over, but his presence makes 3 two year olds at the house. It gets crazy and odd things are heard:

FF1(an eight year old girl): We came over to your house and your car was there and you weren't. My Mom was really mad that she couldn't play with your Legos.

FF3(four year old boy): I CAN HEAR THEM! They're inside but not answering the DOOR! (I was feeding PH)

FF2(6 year old boy): There is a TODDLER in my way? Why is there always a toddler in my way?

They really love the Peaceful Hero, we all laugh that the kids are baby hungry:
FF1: Peaceful Hero needs me! He loves me. I can't put him down.

FF2: I got Peaceful Hero to cry quieter by giving him a cheerio.

We watched a friend about a week or so ago, and he pooped in his underwear.
FH: I Poop in Underwear.
MH: Do you need to use the Potty?
FH: Yeah.
MH: Then say, "I need to use the potty."
FH: "I Use Potty!"
FH hasn't yet pooped in his underwear....he just uses that phrase to alert us to his impending potty use....we're trying to stop it.

This is said at random times multiple times a day.
FH: Buzz LightYEAR catch TRAIN!


S* is getting into our pantry shelves, which are right next to our kitchen table.
MH: S* stay off those shelves, you don't get to eat that food. If you're hungry, there are cheerios on the floor. Eat those instead. (I look at my neighbor who is at our house with her 4 children) There are cheerios on the floor because I need to vacuum today. I put them there so they'll drive me crazy and I'll vacuum. If they all get eaten I'll vacuum tomorrow.


After letting the 3 toddlers take turns drinking from the same light blue cup (I rinsed it out between uses).
MH: We don't have any more clean cups, so they're all using the same cup.
FF Mom: Oh, to only have two kids and a larger dishwasher. You do run out of cups then.
MH: Actually, our dishwasher is clean, but I don't dare open it up with this many toddlers to help.


I was really on a roll today. It's really no wonder why some students would pay attention in my class to see what weird/dumb/odd things I would do that day. I wonder what tomorrow holds for me.



And I find this in Peaceful Hero's crib if I am ever 10 seconds too slow to coming and getting him up as he cries. I think it's pretty cute.

P.S. This shirt is the Friendly Hero's favorite shirt.
