Me: Pancakes for breakfast, Chuck?
Chuck: I'll make them—
Junior: Excuse me. Um, excuse me.
Me: Just a second, Junior.
Chuck: Where's the—
Junior: I have a question. Would you try to run faster than a train?
Me: Yes.
Chuck: No. So, Mrs. Mullet, what’s on tap for today? Should we—
Junior: Excuse me. Excuuuuuuuuuuse me. Um, excuse me.
Me: Just a second, Junior.
Junior: I have to ask you something! Have you ever eaten an orange?
Chuck: Your mother and I are trying to talk. Just a second.
Me: We could drive down to New Haven and—
Junior: Excuse me. Excuuuuuuuuuuse me. Um, excuse me.
Me: Go to the—
Chuck: Please don’t interrupt, Junior.
Junior: What if I didn’t have hands or feet?
Me: Peabody Museum. Why is he asking that?
Chuck: Junior, your mother and I are trying to talk. Don’t interrupt.
Me: Or we could stay—
Junior: Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me. Excuuuuuuuuuuse me.
Me: Closer to home. Just a minute, Junior.
Chuck: Yes, just a minute.
Junior: But I said excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me.
Chuck: It’s not polite to interrupt. We’ll be with you in a second.
Me: Or we could—
Junior: But I said excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me! Do trains run on tracks?
Chuck: Drive down to—
Junior: Do they?
Me: Fly to—
Junior: DO THEY?
Chuck: Hawaii—
Me: Alone—
Junior: DO THEY?
Me and Chuck: YES! For the love of God, YES!
They make protective bubbles for kid #2, right? For when kid #1 tries to push him out a window/return him via the mailbox/set his stroller on fire? They must.
Because this ain't gonna be perty.

if i didnt' have hands or feet?? what kind of kids shows is junior watching? i love it!!!!
Maybe you could get each of them a bubble...?
;-)
Just wait until Junior asks if you can take the new one back to where you got it. Once the novelty wears of they would rather take it back.
At least he says excuse me. That's a good thing right?
No, they don't. My 12 month old already has had three black eyes, courtesy of his 2.5 year old brother. And this is with me home watching them all the time. I think it's a sibling rite of passage.
PS- Junior is hilarious. I mean, who thinks about what it's like not to have hands and feet? Cute.
At least he said excuuuuuuuuse me....right?
Of course they do. You have nothing to worry about. Nothing.
It's the frequency of the "excuse me"s that makes me extra nervous.
Three black eyes??
So, did you get to have your pancakes? Or did Junior excuse me that he didn't approve :)
Ugh, I have these same type of "conversations". Except X is MUCH less polite and just yells, "Mommy, stop talkin!".
One day, kid #2 tried to push kid #3 out a plate glass window.
Kid got one teeny tiny sliver of glass in his foot.
If I were to believe in a God, that one had me come close. But--
We also had standing accounts in the ER for all the launched objects, thrown punches, misdirected shoves...
I don't really think bubble wrap'll do it.
I think baby 2 will be safe, but once that kid gets verbal you might not have another uninterrupted adult conversation until he's in college. Sometimes I get all four of mine talking at me at once and one of them is 16, I'd at least figure she would know better but no...no she does not.
I'd like to tell you it gets better as they get older but then a phone and text and email are involved in the interrupting.
It might not be perty, but it will be beautiful, if that makes sense.
:+) Looking forward to hearing about the arrival of your newest tadpole.
