Surprise…….it’s a guest blogger

I’m thrilled to mix things up a bit today and trade posts with Casey, the mastermind (and mom) behind Quilao Triplets. She’s one of my oldest blogging buddies and has the funniest triplet stories I’ve ever heard. If you haven’t already paid Casey a visit, now is the time. After you check out my guest post (it’s the phone etiquette post I promised), browse around. And around. You won’t be sorry. Promise.

So without further ado, here’s a little “birdy” talk:

One of my BIG jobs over the summer was to get the girls potty trained. Really it was more like I HAD to get them potty-trained because preschool was starting soon and they couldn’t go in diapers.

So this new milestone in our lives has made our outings more interesting. Lots of trips to the potty between three toddlers.

Lucky for me, my husband has been willing to pitch in and take them along with him if needed.

After one trip recently, I noticed my husband had this weird look on his face as they were walking out. In my mommy brain, I start running through all the scenarios in my head. Did my daughter put her hands all over the toilet or floor and then stick her hand in her mouth? Did she pee on herself? Did she clog up the toilet with a roll of toilet paper? What was the deal?

When my husband sat down next to me, he leaned over and said, “I tried to keep her back, but she kept looking.”

As calmly as possible I ask, “Looking?Looking at what?

My husband says, “She thinks I have a birdy in my pants.”

I almost choked on my Jamba Juice before I started laughing hysterically.

And now she wants to know where mama’s birdy is.

But like all good mothers, I just laugh and then pretend I don’t hear her when she asks the question. Because seriously, who can talk their way out of a birdy in daddy and mommy’s pants?

  1. This one leaves me speechless. As I’m sure it would in real life! There are some mommy moments I’m just not looking forward to!

  2. Casey's trio says

    Angie,
    Thanks SO much for allowing me to guest post today and dirty up your blog a little bit with birdy talk:0

  3. Fun guest post! Casey is hilarious. I can’t imagine potty training three at once. Yikes.

    Birdies in her parents’ pants. Remind her of this story when she gets older and she’ll be MORTIFIED!

  4. SO fun to have a guest post. i need to do that with some of my long time bloggy friends…GREAT idea!

    LOVE LOVE big red puffy heart L O V E …the story!

    priceless!

  5. Casey,
    Have I told you yet how much I LOVE this story? 🙂 I’m so glad you thought of this swap with a little birdy talk.

  6. Casey, That is hilarious! I would have burst out laughing too.

  7. Hilarious!

  8. Great switch ladies. This was a great idea and you pulled it off perfectly. I loved both posts.

  9. You’re right! Casey is very funny and I agree…this is one of those times when ignoring our children’s questions is in everyones best interest.
    I’m off to read Angie’s post. What fun!!

  10. This is too funny. A birdy indeed!

  11. Okay, I will be adding her to bloglist. Sounds like our children need to get together for a playdate!
    At least she thought of a birdy and not a snake….:) Innocent enough.

  12. HILARIOUS. Made my day!!

  13. The Pink Potpourri says

    that was so funny! thanks so much for sharing!!! we’re hosting a swap on The Pink Potpourri, so be sure to swing by and check it out!

  14. Sherri - KaysvilleMomma says

    This is so funny!!!

  15. HAHAHA!
    This could bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Flippin’ the Bird.”

  16. Hilarious!!!!

    And I love the pink sparkle princess shoes in the picture–the girl knows how to dress for an ‘event’!
    Blessings!

  17. That is so funny! I love the things kids say!

    A little girl I know saw her daddy, and was overheard telling her friend that “My daddy has hair on his bum and pees out of his tail!”

    lol!

  18. P.S. I really like this swap idea. I noticed it today on 3 other blogs… fun fun fun!

  19. Pretty child. I’ve never heard IT referred to as a ‘birdy’, snake, yes, birdy, no.

  20. Funny. Much nicer than what my daughter has said to her daddy! Although, she made his day with her comment!!

    I can’t imagine training 3 – I’m scared of what training 2 will bring.

  21. mommaof4wife2r says

    love the outfit…it’s totallly toilet etiquette!!!

  22. OMGosh, that’s so cute! And…. er…. uncomfortable! New meaning to the “Birds and the Bees” talk 😉

  23. girlytwins says

    As another big fan of Casey’s, great idea! And great post. As usual has me laughing outloud. Those Quilao triplets are a riot 🙂

  24. Mark and Kiss says

    What a crack up! We have had a few choice “child interpretations” that leave us rolling on the floor. My husband and I can’t wait to tell each other the children’s antics for the day. Thanks for sharing!

  25. THAT is funny! Way to avoid the birdy in the pants talk!

  26. Live.Love.Eat says

  38. Casey and Angie…I adore, ADORE you both. And the birdy talk, well, that is one for the books. HYSTERICAL.

  39. wakakaakak..
    so you call it ‘birdy’ too there huh? we also call it so, in Indonesian of course (burung).
    does it look like a bird at all?

  40. good grief, I can’t imagine potty training three at once! you deserve some sort of mommy prize for that one! as for the birdy comment… that’s priceless!

    my son likes talking about his “peep”… he’s asked where my peep is… i about died laughing.

  41. Zen Ventures says

    that is just so funny! My daughter is the opposite, she thinks papa has got the same thing as papa! omg!

  42. That’s absolutely hilarious. My husband is terrified about having to take my daughter with him into the bathroom for that exact reason.

  43. My children, who are obsessed with Animal Planet, began playing animals that had a tail in the front like their father. Abi even drew some ‘wonderful’ pictures. so much fun – this age.

  44. Migraine Mom says

    I just woke my husband up with my laughter..too funny!

  45. Gunnisac Sandersons says

    Okay this is really cool. Hillarious! My husband is having a similar problem, he laughed so hard!!!!

  46. Oh no.

    I hate stuff like this.

    My boys always want to know what my tampons are for.

    I just have selective hearing too.

  47. That’s hilarious!!! Little kids are so observant, aren’t they?? Especially when we don’t want them to be!!

  48. les_mason_curt says

    i am going to laugh myself to sleep tonight…… seriously i have tears rolling down my face after this post…. “a birdie?” Hahahahahahahahaaaaaa

  49. I am STILL laughing!!! That was so funny. I needed that!

  50. Ah..ha ha..I was so hoping you would someday post about this. I really needed that laugh!!! I am going to have to share this one with Geoff!

  51. tinabean1988 says

    Oh I love it when daddy’s get put on the spot like that.
    They just don’t know what to do.

  52. Crazymamaof6 says

    that is stinking funny! love when they start noticing that. it makes me giggle every time.

    i could only imagine taking 3 at a time to the potty, everywhere you go, taking turns. OY! and i always have to go too so that gets scary. whose is more urgent. um that is me. i can’t have wet pants. little kids can.

  53. That is too freaking funny!

  54. Oh, that’s hysterical… definitely a story that will embarrass her when she’s older! Awesome guest post. 🙂
