School...

One word. So many options...

Let's sum up Madden's first 2 weeks of school...

First day:

Comes home, tells his father, "You should have seen **** (girl he has a major crush on) in her leopard print dress today!"

Second day:

"In music class today, we had to play an instrument and I had to stand up so I could beat my foot in time with the shaker thing so I looked real good..."

Third day:
Aside from the head lice notice, he says on the way home,

"So, I asked *that girl* if she would ask her mom if she could come for a sleep over... I expect her answer tomorrow..."

On the weekend, Kyle asked him who he liked better, Eugenie Bouchard or *that girl*.

"Definitely *that girl* cuz I get to see her in person every day and she knows me & I know her..."

He's also wondered aloud if Mrs. Pozzebon, his teacher, would be inviting him for a pool party...

Too smart for his own good, in my humble opinion....

While playing in the living room we were pretty sure we heard a certain F word being uttered by his little voice.

"DID YOU JUST SAY THE F-WORD, MADDEN?!?!" Kyle exclaims

"I accidentally said the F word. But I meant to say I wanted a drink. I didn't mean it. I PROMISE...." and he continues, just to smooth things over, "And really, when you think about it, it sounds a lot like another F word... FART!"

Then he proceeded to explain the phonetics of both to Kyle. LOL






It's almost bed time. Taing do Dhia!

Think his quick mouth is gonna get him in trouble?

Madden had to go to Ma's the other day as I didn't have a babysitter.
Anyway... they had a great day. (see post below that kind of explains part of that)
But when I landed to pick him up, he got all feisty and cranky and cocky.
At one point he got mad at something Ma said and rifled a dinky at her, just missing her head & the TV.
She started into him...

MADDEN! DON'T YOU EVER THROW ANYTHING AT ME AGAIN. DON'T YOU EVER THROW ANYTHING AGAIN. DO YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE NOT TO ACT LIKE THAT IN MY HOUSE!!!!

The little frigger stood there blank-faced... unphased... and retorted:

See that one over there (pointing to me). She's my mudder. SHE'S the boss of me! You're not the boss of me!

Which, as you can imagine... caused Ma to light into him again... even sterner... right in his face, finger pointing and all...

MADDEN. SEE HER? I'M HER MOTHER. I'M THE BOSS OF HER, TOO. AND THIS IS MY HOUSE. I'M THE BOSS OF THIS HOUSE..

 And completely unphased... confident as can be, he interrupts her,

Has anyone ever told you you have a moustache? Especially right there on that side? (pointing)

I almost died. Ma realized that it was a no-win situation and gave up and started laughing, too.

I might give up, too!

-----------------

Here's the part that I mentioned above:

So, Madden was explaining to Kyle how he was at "The Dome" yesterday. Kyle keeps saying,
 "Where?!? Where?!" And Madden's trying his best to explain where it is by the "see doughs windmills" (aka CBU... which is also a dig at Ma). 

Kyle pipes up and says,

 "OH! The Liquor Dome! You were at the Liquor Dome!" 

To which Madden replies... all annoyed,

 "NO! There's no ice cream there!" LMAO 

(Get it? Licker? Liquor?! LOL) 

The things I hope will never go... but I know they will

I have to take a moment to record these little gems that are constants in conversation. These Maddenisms will be gone before we know it...

• Lawn the Mow -- "Daddy! Thanks for letting me lawn the mow with you! That was fun!"
• Trudeau -- "Where do Row and; Donkey live, Madden?" "Trudeau"
• Falihax -- "Where was the motel where our room was right beside the pool, Madden?" "Falihax"
• "When I was 6..." -- "When I was six I used to have a teacher called Campbell Campbell. She was a good teacher." (It's also the phrase used to introduce anything he's trying to be a part of and normally can't find any other connection.)

I'll keep adding to the list as more pop into conversation.

• Is Daddy done swipper whicking?!? (whipper snipping)
• URGH! You're just trying to accu-ate me! (aggrevate)
• Where's the tee-mote? (remote... for the tv, of course!)

All in one day...

... actually in the span of 2 hours:



We were driving a friend home from school & she and I were talking in the front seat. Well, Mr. Madden was feeling a bit left out.

 "Mommy.... Mommmmy!.... MOMMY?!?!?!" 

Yes, Madden?

"What you guys talkin' bout?"

Oh, the price of tea...

"Yeah, right. T...U...V...W...X, Y, Z!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then later when we got home, he was being a not-so-good boy. I got cross at him & yelled "MADDEN GILLIS!"
He just looked at me with this stunned little grin on his face and said,

 "You forgot the Iain Ruaraidh part" 

Now that he's talking... there is a bit more to post on here...

Now... I'm not sure if that's good, or bad, but there will be more to post!
Here are some gems from the past week.

We were waiting for Kyle to show up at the pool where Brenley's swimming lessons are. It was a really windy day. So, we were sitting in the truck waiting for Kyle when a gust of wind felt like it moved the truck!

Jesus! Jesus! It's windy in this trut!

Was what we heard from the back seat :(

---------------

Madden went shopping for groceries in Sydney with the babysitter this past week. She was telling me how he didn't shut up the whole way down in the car, then in the grocery store he was gibbering away. At one point she asked him, "Are you full of old rope, or what?!" He promptly replied:

No! I full of shit!

She was so taken back that all she could do was laugh and laugh and tears streamed down her face!LOL

---------------
Aside from his new favorite saying, "Oh God!", he's constantly asking "What happened?" which some people would say is better than 'why?' I guess. Except today, when we were leaving Burger King for breakfast he kind of took the cake!

Brenley was lagging behind in the washroom... taking forever. SLOW. When she and I finally got out to the truck he looked at her and said:

You pee, Benley?

Yep.

You poop?

LOL

God love him! God help us!
