“You Are Disgusting” and Other Silliness

Filed Under: Kids Posts, Married Life Tagged With: funny, joking, Silliness, teasing

“You are disgusting,” Lily says as she is picking her nose. I kid you not on this!  And so not sure where she heard this or from whom, but now every so often she will say this phrase and tonight was truly the best, because as she was indeed uttering this and of course teasing Kevin, she had her finger so far up her nose you would have thought she was mining for gold. By the way, I must tell her at least a few times a day now about not picking her nose, but she is at the age where anything goes and this is one of them.

Thankfully with Kevin, he knows she is teasing him and goes right back at her, but recently she said this to one person in our lives in particular who is a bit old fashioned and also has a hard time taking a joke or seeing that she is in fact only 2 years old. This person is my dad and as much as I love him, he got hurt when she said this line to him. Don’t get me wrong he is her grandfather and loves her dearly, but he still didn’t see it as funny and when she uttered those three little words asked her, “Why would you say that to me?”


And when he asked her that, he literally sounded like a wounded child, who was just hurt by his best friend. Granted as much as I felt bad, I kind of couldn’t help, but laugh a bit. I, of course, had to conceal it and walk into the other room. When I came back into the room where they both were, I had to explain to a 63 year old man that she was only 2 years old and thinks she is being funny. She loves him just as she loves her father, who she does this with and doesn’t see anything wrong with it. I explained further that the more I make of it, the more she will probably keep doing this, because that is what kids are notorious for.

Bedtime Sillies with Kevin and Lily!!

Bedtime Sillies with Kevin and Lily!!

So back to tonight and the conversation, of course landed back on the sillies, which seem to rule so often in our house. The one thing I remember when looking for a potential mate was someone who could take a joke, because growing up as you can see my dad was not the man for that job. He has a lot of other good qualities, but his sense of humor isn’t all it is cracked up to be. My grandfather (my mom’s dad) was the jokester in my life and that is probably where I learned how to tease and yes be a bit sarcastic, too. When he passed away, there was a void left there and I just couldn’t help, but look for another person, who could make me laugh and laugh right alongside me, as well.

So, when I did find Kevin and he possessed a very unique and similar sense of humor to myself, I latched on for dear life! And at moments like the above two stories, I am glad I did, because at least he does know how to laugh and not take something our kids say so seriously unlike my father. Again, I do love my dad, but I always wished growing up I could joke with him more, but knew my limitations there. Thankfully, I do believe my kids will never not know this type of laughter or teasing, because Kevin truly is so very good at this with them and with me also.

Linking up yet another week with The Happy Wives Club:

Why I Love My Husband

Last, but not least, Happy Valentine’s Day to all!!!

    Happy Valentine's Day, Janine! I'm up early co-hosting this blog hop. Hehe. Funny post and I can't BELIEVE how early you get up. Haha.

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 3:33 am

      Lol, Cyndi I have to get up early if I want to get anything done around here. In about a half hour two little crazy girls will be up and this, naptime and bedtime are the quietest times of my day!! Happy Valentine's Day and happy you are co-hosting today!!! 🙂

    Happy Valentine's Day Janine, I hope your lovely little family have a great day together 🙂

      Oh thanks so much Michelle and the same to you, too!! 🙂

    I had a good giggle and can so relate to grandparents not having a sense of humor!

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 3:51 am

      Oh thanks so much Sue and trust me my dad is a great guy, but he is from another generation, so he looks at things a bit differently!! 🙂

    Oh a sense of humor is SO important!

      You said a mouthful Lori and couldn't agree more!! 🙂

  5. Katia DBE says

    February 14, 2013 at 5:48 am

    Grown ups need to realize you can't hold a 2 year old up to the same standards as you would another grown-up. At the same time kids have the ability to say things that make you cringe. My 3 year old told his beloved baby sitter who has been like a part of our family since he was 6 months old that she is "not handsome". At the time he was learning the difference between handsome and pretty and how you would use each one for a different gender, but she didn't know. 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 7:13 am

      That is definitely cute Katia and it is a valid mistake when learning the difference between the two. I do agree with you on needing to realize that this is coming from a 2 year old and not an adult. Thanks for sharing!!

    February 14, 2013 at 6:38 am

    My youngest, Sean, is now a nose picker too. I was so proud to have raised two non-nose picking boys but then it started about two weeks ago! It grosses me out!!! But it's a kid thing!! I grew up with the dad who was the non stop jokester and wanted the same in a hubby!!! My hubby is just a little overboard! Hahahaha but I love him anyway! Sounds like you picked a good guy!

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 7:12 am

      Thanks Erin and I know she just recently started to do this too and we keep telling her not to do it, but she continues anyways. Hoping it is just a phase and she will outgrow it!!

  7. Bill says

    February 14, 2013 at 6:41 am

    My dad and I always teased each other, unless he was in a bad mood of course. LOL I had to learn when those times were, but for the most part we had a good relationship with lots of laughter, and I think that is so important for kids to experience growing up.

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 7:11 am

      So true Bill and my dad was more serious at times, but my grandfather was more the humorous one and where I think I got my sense of humor and sarcastic tendencies from too!!

    What a nice post for valentines day..I too like a jokester because that's what makes life fun (and funny). Sounds like you've got a house full of silly people! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 9:22 am

      Oh thanks Emily and I am the same with you and love my jokester. And yes my house is full of silly people more often than not!! 🙂

    My family is full of jokesters, but my husband's family is not (except for my hubby, thankfully). It does make for some awkward moments!

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 12:00 pm

      Thanks Rabia and thankfully it is my own father and have learned a long time ago how to handle stuff like this with him and am also thankful though that my own husband is anything but like yours!! 🙂

    I pictured her with her finger up her nose, saying that, and I had to crack up!!!
    Our house is nothing but jokes and mildly amusing insults…thank goodness my husband is like yours!

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 12:01 pm

      I know Kim, believe me I actually had to walk out of the room, because I was laughing (snorting) so hard on that image and what she was saying along with it. Happy to hear that your husband is similar to mine, because it makes for some fun moments, right? 🙂

  13. crystal says

    February 14, 2013 at 1:40 pm

    That is so cute. I don't have much of a sense of humor on some days. Other days, I'm the one with the most humor. Go figure! I'm glad you have a man who has the sense of humor you were looking for. 🙂 Sounds like your little one is going to have it as well. 🙂

  14. clarkfarley says

    February 14, 2013 at 2:40 pm

    Other than (insert the joking, exaggerated reference to some physical quality/characteristic to the potential mate being referenced …here…), can there be a more valuable asset to a person's asset than a robust and flexible sense of humor? As you have a father, I have a more distant relative with that same trait missing. Great person, hell of a dentist, very limited sense of humor.
    But if I had to give up traits/qualities/whatever we call it of my own personality, my sense of humor is totally the next to last thing I give up.

  15. Ruchira says

    February 14, 2013 at 3:09 pm

    aaww…this is so sweet to read that Kevin humors around the girls. They must be adoring him 🙂

    Happy Valentine, Janine

    Voted for you on both.

    I totally agree with you on this Clark and that is truly one of my favorite things about Kevin. His sense of humor pretty much had me at Heilo!! 🙂

    I love to eavesdrop on my husband when he's with the kids! I take notes on what he does to get them into a fit of giggles, but try as I might, I can't get them to laugh like Daddy does!

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 14, 2013 at 5:34 pm

      Stephanie, so very true and very much the same here. Kevin just has that special way about him with making my kids double over in fits of laughter. I can get laughs out them don't get me wrong, but not on the scale that he can!!

  21. gigigirl says

    February 14, 2013 at 7:35 pm

    A sense of humor gets us through a lot! I do remember your grandfather teasing me as a child (I was about 5 when they got married) and knew I was loved! If I didn't get the teasing, I would feel like he didn't care. The teasing was always light and never damaging, so it is important for kids to have that in their life. Kevin has that knack….you are loved! Love that photo of Lily and her dad. Happy Valentine's Day to all…..lots of love, Aunt Gloria

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 15, 2013 at 2:51 am

      So true Aunt Gloria and I do remember hearing those stories of when you were a little girl from my grandmother. and again you are right that his teasing was always very light and never meant to hurt anyone. Thanks again and hope you had a very, Happy Valentine's Day, too!! Love to you xoxo!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

  24. Christopher Desatoff says

    February 15, 2013 at 2:47 pm

    LOL I love the way kids will say something funny once and get a laugh, but then they're so happy with people's response that they'll go and use the same joke OVER and OVER and OVER til they beat it to death. 🙂

    The nose-picking is cute too…until every wall in the house has a little special surprise smeared on it hahaha.

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 16, 2013 at 8:12 am

      I love this too Chris especially how she gets a charge out of the reaction she gets. As for the nose picking, truly gross, but just so hope it is a phase now!!

    I could almost picture the scene between Lily and your dad, his face crumpling up and wondering where she pulled that phrase from. Glad to hear that you & Kevin can appreciate a little toddler humor! Thanks for linking up with me at the Mommy-Brain Mixer this week.

    • Janine Huldie says

    You are right – trying to stop her from saying "you are disgusting" would backfire on you. It would be pretty surprising coming out of a 2 year old! TALU

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 19, 2013 at 4:02 am

      Thanks Carol and I know it sure surprised me the first time I heard it out of her little mouth, too!! 🙂

  28. kenyagjohnson says

    February 19, 2013 at 4:14 am

    Janine one time my son said, "You're lying" to my MIL. He was six I think. But she was so hurt and disappointed by him saying that it brought him to tears. She went on and on about how you don't say that, "that's not nice". Guaranteed it was no laughing matter but he meant, "you're teasing". I felt so bad for him. He's very careful to this day what he says to her. That was a helpless mommy moment. I think if it was my dad I would have lit into him but since it was MIL I had to let it go.

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 19, 2013 at 4:48 am

      Kenya, being that it was my own dad, I did pretty much lay it on the line for him. But I know what you mean and have had my own issues with things even recently with my in-laws and have had to bite my tongue on quite a bit. So I can totally relate!!

  29. Jeannine Everett says

    February 19, 2013 at 5:33 am

    He whispered "F off"
    Into Grandma's ear. Good thing
    she's hard of hearing

    With love, from Momaiku, who didn't know her 2 year old knew that phrase and wished she could have said it herself once or twice

    • Janine Huldie says

      February 19, 2013 at 6:06 am

      Jeannine, seriously wish I too could say that once in awhile, but not to my own mother probably to a few choice people, lol!! 🙂

  30. Chris HyeThymeCafe says

    February 19, 2013 at 8:00 am

    OMG, I can totally see my Dad going to pieces over something like that … and he WAS the one who gave my sister and I our crazy sense of humor. He would have been devastated … at least for a while. Then he probably would have swatted her across the face at the next available opportunity – with a wet sponge or slice of bologna or something. You never wanted to be standing next to him at the kitchen sink!! 😉 [#TALU]

  31. Janine Huldie says

    February 19, 2013 at 9:24 am

    Lol, Chris and seriously glad to know it isn't just my dad who had this kind of sense of humor or the lack thereof at times!! Thanks so much for sharing and commiserating with me a bit!! 🙂
