Today, Noah became very frustrated with Luka about something and started saying some very mean and hurtful words. I told him that that kind of talk was not acceptable in our family, and so he stomped off to go draw a picture for Luka to show him his feelings since he was not allowed to do so verbally. He brings the drawing to Luka and presents it.
Noah: Here, Luka, this is for you.
Luka: For me?
Noah: Yeah. It's a picture of an evil chicken eating a boy and it's to show you how angry I am at you and that I really wish you would get eaten by something.
Luka: You made a picture for me!?
Noah: Yeah. This here says, "I - hate - you."
Luka: I LOVE IT!
Noah: You aren't supposed to love it. It's to show you how angry I am at you!
Luka: It's beautiful! Thank you, Noah!
Noah: It's not beautiful! It's MEAN! It says, "I hate you" on it!
Luka: What's this word?
Noah: It's HATE! It says HATE! H-A-T-E!!!
Luka: Good job, Noah!
Noah: You don't understand! You are getting attacked by this evil chicken!
Luka: Is me?
Noah: Yeah. And an evil chicken!
Luka: I love it! Thank you, Noah!
Noah: Oh... NEVER MIND!!!!!

I feel Noah's pain. Communicating our innermost feelings is often a challenge. Right now my innermost feelings can't stop laughing.
OMG, that's brilliant! I can totally see this happening btw my kids!
That is so funny. I can only imagine how frustrated Noah was by all this.
I immediately had to call Gregory over when I read this. The evil chicken sounds like something he would come up with. He laughed the whole time he was reading it.
Awesome! I love how Luka was unwittingly the perfect foil to the anger Noah was trying to work through. Aren't siblings fun? :-D

Bwahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha!!!
I have to keep coming back and reading this. I giggle everytime I read it. Dave, Sam and I have been talking about this all weekend. We keep saying "I looovvve it!"
Was it wrong of me to have laughed uproariously at this? I don't mean to seem callous to Noah's plight... but this scene is truly and undeniably forkin' HILARIOUS!
I don't suppose it would cheer Noah at all to know that he is already beating Abbott & Costello with their own schtick? Probably not. Anyway, do they have special school programs for comedic prodigies?
This is wonderful! Too funny!
I love it!
You're going to be so glad that you've written all of this down and you know what?
This conversation will serve as a microcosm of their respective personalities till they are grown up, you just wait and see!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments and I hope you get to win the prize on my OWOH giveaway.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look through some of my other pages too. Nice to meet you.
