The Locust Brothers are pretty awesome. But-- and this is a pretty significant BUT here-- they are BOYS.
Growing, hungry, active, crazy, cute as all get out BOYS. B-O-Y-S.
And I never.
Ever.
Know what is going to come out of their mouths.
Now, for a prime example:
Bedtime two nights ago. The Locust Brothers and I had decided to incorporate some cooking into our homeschool routine this year. Wrecking Crew piped up and said, "Mom!! We need to make some bread in the bread machine! I *LOVE* That!"
Cub sat there, smiling and nodding his head, looking hungry. (For the record, Cub is ALWAYS hungry.)
I said, "Well, it is getting cooler- so soon we will be able to make pumpkin bread too! What types of things do we need to get to make that?"
Instantly, Wrecking Crew said, "Flour, eggs, golden raisins and umm.... some umm... Oh! I know! Squirrel nuts!"
(Yes, you read that correctly. Squirrel nuts.)
Cub immediately said, "No Wrecker! Mom is NOT going to chase squirrels around and pick their nuts to make bread!"
I'm thinkin Wrecker meant to say WALNUTS.
But then again... this IS Wrecking Crew. He may very well have meant exactly what he said about SQUIRREL NUTS too......
And I'm thinkin Cub truly believes that in order to make some sorts of bread, you literally have to go and pick nuts off squirrels.
(BrownEyedCowgirl- best go tell SCRAT to hide his nuts!)
(And for those who guessed that penis and flatulence jokes run rampant in The Asylum, You Are Correct. *sigh*)

Haahaa-Scrat decided he wasn't going to get to put those 'bull nuts' of his to use and has since sucked them back in.
I AM hoping to get to sneak a video of my big, tough, biker husband singing the 'Squirrel Nuts' song to the squirrel though. It's so out of character that it's enough to make you laugh hard enough to cry.
When our old squirrel "Bomber" was an adolescent, his test-tickles were HUGE GROUND-DRAGGING HUEVOS.
They shrank to a more manageable size later in life.
At least I THOUGHT that's what happened. Maybe Juanita just made some banana nut bread...
Bill
ROTFL!
Good for you for homeschoolng.
I feel your pain sister! I too have the house of little men against me. Went to a b-day party this weekend and my littlest said something that totally would have come out of my mouth! Enjoy them while they are little, soon we will wish for these days (I think?)
So do ya toast the squirrel nuts firs???LOL
SOunds like a wonderful fun home you provide for your boys
First, I love the idea that you are including cooking as part of homeschooling!!! Personally, I would pay big money to see you running around trying to pick nuts from squirrels. :-)
Having raised two boys myself I can so identify with your story... your forgot to mention the 'one-knuckle and two-knuckle boogers' - or hasn't your crew gotten to that chapter yet?!
Hahaha!! Gotta love Boys! I got two myself who are now teenagers, and conversations still revolve around those things you mentioned.
Lol, those boys are great :)
Hee, Hee - boob jokes are all the rage at my house - especially with 2 girls at 'that' age. But girls don't fart - we toot. However, my girls can out burp about any boy...
LOL kids!!! gotta love um!!! LOL LOL LOL
Yep, I hear you! My twins are classic B-O-Y-S too! Fart jokes are the shizz around here. Also, as for most things around here, if you can't break it, make a mess of it or be really loud doing it it's not worth their time, LOL!
I am dying.
And then I come to the comments section and there is Beel. Who is a classic example of one of those boys who you never know what they're going to say.
And poor Juanita - I bet she never saw that one coming :)
Yes... you truly never know what is going to come out of their mouths - and it's absolutely the worse when it's the trifecta: in public, inappropriate, but so funny you can't help but laugh (therefore encouraging it for next time).
Haha. Love the squirrel nuts. I can see the logic. Love the convos with the little ones. They are cute as pie and growing up fast!
