A mother's dream come true

It is difficult to describe, or even quantify, the many horrific thoughts that float through a mother's head as she rushes into a room to her child's shrieks of "Mom! Mom! I can feel the hairs! I can feel the hairs!"

It is equally difficult to describe her dismay when she finds that the reality was worse than her wildest dreams:



I swear, he's gonna kill me. If I don't kill him first.

And when is she gonna get here, already?

Happy Opening Day, baseball fans!

The folks over at humor-blogs know very well I wouldn't know a baseball from a softball, or even, for that matter, a golf ball, and that it's all just a shameless plug.

It's finally Opening Day and IT'S GONNA RAIN!

Stupid New England weather!

(And as far as Boy goes? Just don't let him show my boys that trick, 'kay?)

Barb said...

Dude, we should set him up with Jane. She appreciates that kind of talent in a boy. I will warn you, though, that the other day, she sighed contentedly and told me, "There's nothing funner than having two boys fighting over you."

Cathy said...

my sons would be so impressed with that!

lilypotter said...

Congratulations, Boy! We're all so proud of you. Don't ever let your mother tell you you won't amount to anything- you can touch your nostrils with your tongue, after all! Anyone with that kind of talent is sure to go far in life.

Opening day here too, for the Diamondbacks...where we have a stadium with a roof that closes. And it's going to be sunny and 88 degrees. Oh, the irony.

In other news, I can't believe that kid can actually pick his nose with his tongue. If my youngest daughter (currently age six) ever becomes a crack whore, I think I know who she's marrying.

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

Surely there's a career path that requires that "special" talent.

the mama bird diaries said...

That boy has talent. Wow. Get him on a reality show or something.

mo.stoneskin said...

My mum's dream was always that I would be able to do things like that. I disappointed her.

Kathy said...

God gave him a special gift, now it's just a matter of figuring out how he can use it for the betterment of society.

It was supposed to be opening day for us too, then it snowed again. Stupid, stupid global warming.

kim said...

Is man as funny as you are or did both kids just inherit the funny gene from you? They crack me up!

Jonny's Mommy said...

Oh man. That's gross.

My kid's gonna do that isn't he?

Craaaaap.

Sandra said...

hahahaha!

Manic Mommy said...

The difference between boys and girls is that I've been able to touch my tongue with my nose since I was a child. Never once did it occur to me try and stick my tongue *up* my nose.

I can totally see either of my boys going on that particular treasure hunt.

Good work on Boy wearing the colors on this delayed opening day in Red Sox Nation!

Peggy said...

He's too cute!

White Sox got cancelled on opening day! :( Chicago weather *sigh*

Bells said...

I'm lost for words!

Alison Wonderland said...

You must be so proud!

I'm telling myself he was feeling mustache hairs although on review of the picture...

Jane said...

My boys thought this was the coolest thing ever! Such a joy to raise boys! Opening day was canceled due to SNOW!

Kathy B! said...

That's quite an achievement! You should trot this photo out and show his date before prom :)

Donna Lee said...

My sister in law can do that. She'll do it whenever anyone asks. It's rather weird because then all the children in the room starting putting their tongues out in hopes of touching their noses. Actually, it's gross.

Marinka said...

It could have been so much worse. But that's pretty bad. Now that I'm trying to think what would have been worse, I can't come up with anything. So, yeah.

Shani said...

Is that what I have to look forward to with my 2 1/2 year old boy? LOL.

TinkingBell said...

It's nice to know you raised a son with the sort of talent all other boys will envy, isn't it!

lucky knitter said...

OH boy, oh boy, oh boy - I think "she" is in rehab - sorry.

Rose Red said...

I bet you were the proudest mom in the world the day you discovered your son could pick his nose with his tongue. Oh the millions you will now be able to rake in from selling him at county fairs and on Oprah etc.

TLCknits said...

Hmmm.. maybe I should introduce your son to my daughter...same talent!

Elizabeth said...

hahahaha.
my sister can do that. it always grosses me out.

Elizabeth said...

wait...........it's me.....leslie........a friend to knit with!
who the hell is elizabeth?????????

Elizabeth said...
