Mama's Boy and his naughty antics
Yes, ma’am! Don’t we all love to be a little naughty? I know my little guy sure does! See what happens when mama is daydreaming while changing laundry . . . lots of naughtiness.
As moms, we see more than our fair share of naughty doing. Whether our little ones are coloring on the walls or helping themselves to an entire gallon of milk, we’re battle ready.
Toddler or teenager, it doesn’t matter , we still get visits from the naughty monster, except the not-so-little nugget has learned where you stash the good candy and how to defend curfew breaking like a Harvard lawyer!
With all the no-no’s and uh-uh’s going on around us, I think we forget to BE a little naughty our self. Let’s face it, moms are on call 24/7!! Down time is definitely deserved.
The last time I was naughty was just last week. I slipped out of the house to stock the fridge the night before my surgery. While moving through my list, somehow I ended up in the book aisle. It was like my cart had a mind of its own!! Kid free, I browsed to my heart’s content, which put me REALLY late getting back. To cover my tracks, I might have embellished how long the check-out lines were. Hubs wouldn’t have minded, but I sure didn’t want to deal with the ole eye roll or worse . . . “Ah-Ha, I knew it!”. My hubs knows I have a habit to feed, but when left at home with crabby, cracked out kids, a man can only handle so much, I guess. *hee-hee*
It’s great fun BEING naughty, until you GET caught!

Another "incident". Like the helping hand?
Word to the wise, never and I mean NEVER assume your fella doesn’t read your blogs. *sigh* Appearantly, mine does. Let’s just say the “Oh, the lines were sooo long, honey!” ain’t gonna work again. Ever. Doh, doh, doh!
Before you go thinking I’m married to Shrek, just let me say, the only thing I suffered was a lot of teasing. You’d think I should know by now that tricks are for kids and not mamas with too cyber-savvy hubbies!
Sometimes you just have to laugh when naughtiness happens. Believe me, when I saw that messy-mess of Rice Krispies, I got a good chuckle, especially when my little guy got down on all fours, mooed, then bent over to eat his “hay”. The nice thing was that my hubby just happened to come home early and literally walked in the door while I was standing there laughing like a loon. I was very happy he got to see some of the “fun” mommy jobs I get to do.
**FYI- if a man says vacuuming up Rice Kripsies is OK, don’t listen. Three weeks later, he had to take it all apart to find out why there was no suction and found a huge goopy clog of munched up cereal.** For the record, I wanted to scoop it all up by hand then vacuum up the crumbs. LOL Men!
Ha! Maybe that little scenario was another example of being naughty. The I-don’t-want-to-listen-to-my-wife kind of naughtiness!
No matter how you get or be naughty, I think the most important thing is to let yourself have those little moments. Perfect is so over-rated! Go get naughty, Mama Writers!!
ps- Hiya, Honey!! xxoo
C’mon on now, dish it up! Tell us all about your latest caper!

Love you getting caught. I’ve had that experience lately with my hubby (finally) getting a Facebook account. Now he can see that I’ve been online instead of writing like I am supposed to be doing! We all need a little play time.
Great post!!!! I get caught all the time! I can’t lie worth a darn, I always get this little smirk on my face and my hubs just busts out laughing, and asking why I even bother! lol. Being naughty is A LOT of fun! I do it often, and so do my kiddies… I’ve got the colored walls to prove it! I love it when you walk in on them, their faces pale, they look up wide eyed, and my little DD#2 always says immediately, “sorry mommy,” before I even know whats going on, lol.
So what was the latest thing I did… Hmmm…. probably spending too much on the credit card on clothes and then swearing I’d paid for the items with my own money… guess that doesn’t help when he got the bill huh? lol
Fun post!
HI Tammy!
My hubs refuses to get a FB page! lol I guess I’m safe there.
But he does have me on his instant messenger, so as soon as I log on, well, he knows I’m at the PC. Took me a while to figure out how he knew. (I’m slightly techno-challenged) Every once in a while, he’ll send over am IM to see if I’m there. lol Good thing most of the time, I’m not!! LOL
Eliza!!!!
Um, I think the bill would rat ya out very effectively! lol Too funny!
The jello in the chair incident, I just happened to walk in on. Let me just say, jello is not fun to pick up off of micro fiber! Sheesh! It was like trying to grab a handful of sand underwater. I took the pic and emailed it to hubs. I wanted proof of how messy my day gets.
LOL On the poker face. Me, too. I can’t fib for beans. I always get caught! I can’t wait to see what he’s gonna say when he reads this! lol He even read the comments on my last post and saw where Kris and I were laughing about my little fib!!! Oh, boy!! That didn’t help my case at all!!! LOL
I’m naughty too often! My husband’s always telling me to go back to work. LOL Then I wonder where the kids get it from!

Geez, kids are messy, aren’t they? Especially boys. Funny pics, Sarah! I have a pic of one of my boys with a shocked almost-cry on his face and the other boy looking guilty and holding one of those plastic garden tools in his hand. LOL! It’s a classic.
The last time I was naughty? Me?? Never. I’m a good girl.
Do you believe me?
Rebecca, I totally believe ya!!
Just from your blurb, I knew you were a foxy treat! lol You’re totally cool!
Thanks for making me smile!
You all people would it, Viola!
My boy can clear the fridge in no time flat!
Sheesh! Just this AM, he dumped a box of Teddy Grahams. The little turkey snitched the box off the counter while I was making breakfast. Boys!! lol
I’ll believe you’re an angel, lady, but I’m not going to stand next to ya, I have a fear of lightning! LOL
Sarah,
Love the pictures and the naughty stories!!! I remember those days well, unfortunately no matter how old or young they always find time to be naughty!
Maybe we should take a lesson. Like you say, being perfect isn’t all its cracked up to be!
hugs

Hi Sarah and everyone,
Fun post and I so want to be naughty. Look out double hot fudge & caramel chocolate sundae with nuts, here I come. LOL
Sarah, rice krispies and Elmers Glue make wonderful imitation Krispy Treats, at least until you bite into them. Don’t even ask me how I know. LOL I have a son, too!
Heya Micole!!
Ha! I know you know naughty!
You name the day and I’ll be your side kick anytime! ((hugs!))
Yuck!! Rebecca, that sounds positively gross! lol And yet I wouldn’t put it past my kids to try that. Rice krispy treats are a big hit around here.
I’m all for your version of naughtiness. No gall bladder, no problems.
Mama is back in business of noshing the sweet treats! LOL
LOL Love that he was pretending it was his hay–shows great imagination.
Sigh. Yes, boys are naughty. Mine write their names everywhere–closet doors, bathroom walls. Then when I ask who did it it’s “I dunno!” Yeah, you expect me to believe someone broke into the house and all they did was write BOTH YOUR NAMES on the wall in the bathroom I just painted???
Boys are soooooo bad! LOL.
Can’t remember the last time I was naughty, but it probably involved a hot fudge sundae for lunch or buying a purse that wasn’t really on sale and saying it was, LOL.
