“Mummy, you should go to work. Daddy needs to stay at home ‘cos it would be better that way. He’s fun.”

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Precisely the boost to the self esteem that I needed today.  And it was professed without prompting, so I can’t even blame mr hissychick.
Then again, just how seriously should I take something uttered by a little person who keeps trying to climb into the television to join Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy, Gavin*, and Bobo the […]

Of comfort toys and the comedic stylings of the threenager

Friday, June 6th, 2008

E has given her beloved Snugzee a new name, and that is “Dee dee”. It’s so cute to see her cruise/crawl to her cot when she’s tired, exclaim “Dee!Dee!” as she drags said comfort toy through the bars of her cot and gives him a big cuddle. He’s not just a sleeptime friend […]

“When I grow up, I’m going to get an earring in my tongue”

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Yes, A uttered those words to me upon spying a picture of a tongue pierced girl at the dental clinic this morning. And I couldn’t even say no seeing as her father only got rid of his in the last year.
Other gems from today include:
“If you’re naughty Daddy I will bite you on the boob” […]

They win

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

A has finally started to dress herself, and as is her usual way is getting rather frustrated at any attempt that is less than perfect.  I have found myself on the receiving end of  “Nononononono I DON’T want your help” and “Go away, stop looking at me” delivered with a set of jaw and a […]

Excuse me while I catch up

Hellloooo internets. I’m back. Miss me?
I’ll fill you in a few holiday highlights before I head back to sorting out the massive backlog of washing. How selfish of the children to need clean clothing.
Anyway.
A good time was had by all and there were no inlaw related hissyfits thrown by me (yes I know!). We all […]

How a threenager renders you speechless. Again.

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

It is earlier this evening, and A and mr hissychick are taking a shower while I bathe E. All is as it should be -cosy domestic humdrum- until A pipes up with the following:
A (gravely as she draws on the shower screen with bath crayons): Daddy, I’ve got a bolva (vulva)*, although some […]

Anarchy chez hissychick, rhinovirus style

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

It is lurgy central here at chez hissychick, with A, E and I succumbing to colds of the extremely snotty nosed variety. We’ve all dealt with it in our own way:

A being A was happy to while away an entire day watching episodes of Playschool, and was back to her usual cheery self in the […]

Three years old
