TANNER'S MOM wrote: Let's tell a weird fact about us and our children.

I will go first

Me- I like when people POP my toes.. and I make Randy do it all the time.

Brittany- She will eat Romane Noodles for 3 meals a day

Tiffany- Says words wrong or backwards. Instead of Spitting image..she says SPLITTING Image

Justin, Will only eat Cheese Pizza.. no other kind of Pizza

Tanner.. Refers to himself as Baby BEAR to make his sister mad.

my2monkeyboys replied: Now my turn-

I can not let anyone touch my feet, with or without socks on. I can hardly touch them myself.

Will pretends he's other people all the time (people he makes up) and will have a totally different personality to go with them.

cameragirl21 replied: hmmmm, i am altogether weird so it's hard to come up with just one fact.
well, for starters i am a diehard baseball fan, specifically Yankees fan and during season i am worse than any guy--i schedule photo shoots around games, tape games if i have to miss them and watch them play by play. i know every (yankee) player's stats, know the name of every ball park they play in (in the AL only) and always know the exact time and location of every Yankee game. i've been known to cuss out the umpire (armchair warrior ) if i don't agree with the call and yell at Joe Torre (Yankee manager) to do something if the pitcher really sucks that day.
also, i have to have a glass of milk with dessert...i could be in the finest five star restaurant with the most upscale of company where everyone else is having brandy or cappuccino with their dessert and i ask them to get me a glass of milk like a little toddler. but i'm sure that's why over the years i've had very few broken bones...God knows i'm a clutz but my bones are all calciumed out!

My2Beauties replied: Let's see:

Me: I find farts absolutely hilarious, I'm like a 10 year old, I giggle non-stop when someone let's one (I know I'm so childish )

Hanna: She loves corn, she can eat a whole plate of just corn

Desiree: Her feet stink something terrible, I mean seriously, the minute her shoes come off she can clear a room, I'm constantly telling her to go soak her feet

cameragirl21 replied: LeaAnn, i meant to ask you, not that it's any of my business but do you and dh have primary custody of Desiree? You talk about her as if she's with you all the time so it seems she lives with you.
it's great the way you love your SD so much as if she were yours, i've lost count of how many SMs have told me they wish their Skids would disappear and it always makes me feel so sad for the kids....

Calimama replied: Me: I HATE HATE HATE being alone at night. This house is too big and it gets tooo dark outside.

Bella: When you hold her up in the air she holds out her arms like Superwoman.

** forgot my hubby!!

Antonio: Has to repeat EVERYTHING I tell him so he'll remember.

gr33n3y3z replied: Myself- I like my back scratched raw ahhh just thinking about is making me itch :-)

Rick- He likes his back picked

John- he loves massages

Erin- she likes her hair fussed with to the pont it would drive someone nuts

Katie- likes her hair fussed with also but she likes to sit and pick at her split ends

Ed- I will let him pick his own ;-)

Leann come to our house its like one huge gas fest here LOL

My2Beauties replied:
Not primary custody, Brian and his ex have never went through the court system, they don't even do child support through the system. They get along very well and me and her are practically best friends. I can talk to her on the phone for hours at a time, we go to Bingo together, we go out together! She is a wonderful person, her and Brian were very very young when they had Desiree (he was 16 and she was 14) so they were still kids themselves. They stayed together for 5 1/2 years after Desiree was born and tried to stick it out but theyw ere just too young and had to grow up too fast to love each other that way anymore. So they mutually agreed to split up and promised to remain friends for Desiree's sake. Anyways so basically Desiree comes over whenever she wants, usually at least a couple times a week.

mom2my2cuties replied: This is fun

Me - I am absolutely terrified of the dark, storms, and heights. To the point it's irrational

Andy - She STILL likes to play peek a boo

Andrew - He likes to eat strange stuff. (Velvetta melted into prego for an example)

TANNER'S MOM replied: I understand how LeaAnn feels.. I feel the same way about my step daughter.. I can't separate them from MY kids..but she is mine. I have been with her since she was 2..and she is 13...wow it's been that long..

mom2my2cuties replied: Andrew is the same way about Mikee - you couldn't tell any difference in the way he treats the kids.

luvbug00 replied: me- Ditto on the don't get near my feet thing! I live threw music, I bawl when i watch " the land before time" , I'm slightly dyslecsic (sp?)

Mya- is obssesed with her hair. MUST have all things ponys.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Whenever I feed someone, my mouth goes open and closed too.

I love cold coffee... and I have it straight out of the fridge sometimes, when I make a pot and there's leftovers...rather than throwing it out. Usually I have instant though, and I just wait about an hour before drinking it... it gets cool...

I bite my fingernails when I'm stressed

Boo&BugsMom replied: I take it we are listing our quirks...I could go on and on with mine guys! Ok, some interesting facts...

*I can't stand feet, except baby feet
*I yell and hit in my sleep
*I am a neat freak, I can't stand clutter, and everything has to always be in it's place
*I can not eat anything while I am watching a horror movie
*I got bit by a dog (A Chow) on the right side of my face when I was 11 and had to get 75 stitches
*I love Zingers and Suzie Q's

*Tanner can not have different foods touching on his plate
*Tanner does not like to cuddle This next one better!!!
*When Tanner was a baby he use to sit in his bouncy seat and flip people off, unintentionally of course...he would rest his hand on his head and his middle finger would stick up for some reason...yes, we have pics

*Troy eats PB and mayo sandwiches
*Troy eats Cheetos and nachos with a fork
*Troy is a walking medical case...psoriasis, tininitis (sp?), plastic knee, ulcer, part colored blind, partly deaf in one ear...the list goes on
*Troy writes poetry (sorry honey, had to share that one because I think it's sweet)

cameragirl21 replied: that's really great, LeaAnn, i imagine it must be hard for a teenage couple and hard to be a teen mom...i always wonder how they manage, i mean as far as money and everything goes. kids are expensive and i literally always marvel when i see teenage moms manage it.
i once met a young girl who was a receptionist at a car dealership and i kid you not, she looked about 13 and was very skinny, like a ballerina. anyway, she had on a necklace that said #1 Mom and i know this was rude but i said, "are you a mom?" b/c she looked way too thin and had the tiniest hips to ever have had a baby and she was sooo cute like a little cheerleader who didn't have a care in the world. anyway, turned out she had just turned 18 and had a baby boy when she was 16, almost 17 and she lived alone with him, not with her parents as i would have expected and managed to support him all by herself! i was completely blown away, so much so that i still remember meeting her and that was over 5 years ago!
ETA--this is not to imply that i don't think moms can be cute and/or carefree but she just looked soooo young and without a care in the world and from what i've seen of teen moms, they usually are not carefree about things in the same way that teens who don't have kids are.

TANNER'S MOM replied: I forgot my DH..
He refuses to eat Sour Cream though he has never tasted it. He refused to have a hamburger if it doesn't have cheese.

He uses the bathroom at the same time every day..lol No matter what..lol

TheOaf66 replied:
shame on you and you even spelled honey wrong

Boo&BugsMom replied:
There, I edited it! Oh, stop trying to be such a tough man you Hooters chick you! Come on, it's your sweet side.

My2Beauties replied: I forgot DH too, Brian can fart on queue (back to my weird thing with farts) like if I say something smartalec to him, he goes well *fart* on you then. EVERYTIME!!!! OK I'm giggling now, I'm so gross He makes weird noises in his sleep too, like moaning noises (not that kind of moaning) but like weird moaning noises, I can't describe them. He hates hair and he's a man, body hair that is. He shaves his chest, trims his pits, everything guys. He's really hairy too. His chest hair grows in patches though, so I don't blame him for shaving it! LOL!

ediep replied: ok, heres mine

I LOVE movies about girls with eating disorders. I have my TiVo set to record anything that has "eating disorder" in the subject

Jason- says his favorite color is Pink...It drives my DH crazy and I'm sure he'll deny it when he's older

DH- can't eat soggy, slimy, mixed textues food types

CantWait replied: I love to kiss (tongue and all), but iew if someone, including dh or kids drinks from my straw or eats from my utencils.....it absolutely puts me off.

DH loves to pop pimples

Robbie always somehow has the dirtiest and longest nails (fingers and toes) even after daily washing

Anthony loves anything girlie, including dresses, sun hats, bathing suits and pink.

kimberley replied: this is fun.. and Mel and Lea Ann, i have the utmost respect for both of you and all other step parents who love their stepkids unconditionally. you both have huge hearts

i pick up things with my toes
i STILL tiptoe
i have an irrational fear of being stuck in an elevator

dh eats one thing at a time on his plate.. all fries, then the burger
he notices if you move anything of his even a fraction of an inch
he will have full on conversations with you in his sleep and not remember


Jacob talks in his sleep almost daily
he laughs uncontrollably when someone trips or falls or the the like
he cannot find things he is looking for even if it's right in front of him

James makes weird noises and faces constantly
he still likes to be babied
he likes girls better than boys but is naturally athletic

Jade calls her blanket "blanklet".. anything ending in "et" gets an "l" thrown in
she is THE most dramatic person i have ever met
she also has to have everything just so... move her cup, she'll move it back

Kaleigh shouts when her diaper is wet
she throws herself backwards and backfloats in the tub
she is an eating machine!

cameragirl21 replied: is Jade a virgo?

mom2my2cuties replied: hehehe LeAnn you reminded me of something

I make noises in my sleep too - but they are like I am trying to immitate a cow mooing or something..But instead of actually saying Mooo...I actually make the sound they make with the deep nasal tone to it...Really freaks Andrew out if he isn't expecting it. Sounds like the noise that Zombies and things make in cheesy B movies

Kimberly - I also pick things up with my toes...My family has always called me "Monkey Toes" because of it - Also my husband also eats only one thing at a time on his plate. But so does Andy.

Also when something scares me - I laugh...I can't help it - almost uncontrollably laugh.

kimberley replied: yes Jade is a virgo

Tish, you shoulda been at my wedding. i discovered that day what my nervous tic was... mad laughter. the officiant had to stop a couple of times because i could not stop laughing. it was horrifyingly embarrassing afterwards but dh and i laugh about it now. the hyena bride

TANNER'S MOM replied: I do the toe pick up too.. and the evil toe pinch too.

I have nasty feet.. and I love to threatned my kids with touching them with my feet.. I mean not really nasty I guess. but hard..lol

lesliesmom replied: Okay, here I go...

I HATE the look and feel of cotton balls. Can't touch them, can't watch anyone else use them and REFUSE to let them be used on me. IF I have to get that wad of cotton out of a pain reliever bottle, I have to use tweezers.

DH will not eat olives. When he was young his mom and aunt told him they were yucky so that they could have them for themselves.

DD#1, Leslie, would live off of brussel sprouts and Berry Lucky Charms if I let her

DS, Christopher, would watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 24/7 if I would let him AND do the dances and sing along with the Oompa-Loompas, plus give you the dialogue (he's 3).

DD#2, Lindsay, likes to be tickled AND (bad mommy-thing here) is a tummy sleeper (has been since we got her out of the hospital if we wanted her to sleep more than 15 minutes at a time - she sleeps from 8p to 6a now at 5 months old)

Boo&BugsMom replied:
OMG! A friend of hubby's has this SAME fear! I thought he was the only crazy one like that.

holley79 replied: Me- I love pedicures because I love for people to play with my feet.

DH- Plays with his nipple ring.

Annika- So far likes to eat dog food.

msoulz replied: OMG I am laughing at all of these! What fun!

ME: I have Jello-phobia. Can't stand the stuff. Food should NOT move! (I am also not crazy about cotton balls, and can not stand the ones stuffed in the top of aspirin bottles - EWWWW!)

Jake: At almost 8 would still sleep in our bed if we let him. He also sleepwalks and pees in places that are not a toilet.

Erin: Plastic seems to be her favorite food group.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Logan has been crawling around on the floor and meowing like a cat lately.

I still sleep with a stuffed animal.

Crystalina replied: Me~ I don't like one of my horses and she doesn't like me either. Whenever I go near her she tries to pin me against the wall and I have to give her a little flick in the nose or push her away. She just has attitude and I wouldn't mind sending her down the road but she's 15 and had a hard life until we got her so we are going to keep her until her end comes.(she was a fair horse we rescued. The kind that walk the kids in circles all day. Either way I don't like her. BUT she started it and she's a brat.

I never answer my emails.

I like milk and coke together.

I love watching scarey movies alone.

I love to watch MSNBC and if it weren't for Survivor and GA I would never watch anything else.

I hate feet as well, except for my children's feet. I love their feet right now. That may change over the years.

Izabella~ always wants to play eye spy.

She will "set up" her brother for a crime she commited.

She still believes that I can see a red line on her forhead when she lies.

Evan~ Likes to hide Smokey the cat from us.

loves bananas

will not use the potty to poo.

wakes up about 5 times every night crying for no reason.

DH~ Showers way too much!

is a neat freak

is very happy being outside doing "farm" stuff.

cannot sit still and just be. He has to be doing something or talking about doing something.

Cannot miss a UFC fight.

is a big softie and lets Izabella give him makeovers whenever she likes.

amynicole21 replied: I don't like cotton balls either. Or velvet for that matter. There is also a kind of blanket I CANNOT touch - kind of velvety material. They use them in hotels a lot and I have to encase them with the sheet so that I can even get into the bed. I also hate the feel of wool.

I am obsessed with hair removal. I will stare at myself in the mirror for an hour trying to tweeze every stray hair from my eyebrow or elsewhere. But, I could care less if my legs are shaved - lol!

If you offer some food to Nora when she is already eating, she'll spit out whatever is in her mouth to eat the new thing. She is obsessed with shoes and will put on any pair that is left unattended. She does a thing we call a pterodactyl dance where she thrusts her arms back behind her, leans forward and runs around the house cackling. We don't know why.

Sophia will not go into a room if she is the only one in there. She needs to be accompanied everywhere in the house, including the bathroom. When she bathes, she has to lie down in the water, close her eyes, drape a washcloth over her chest and pretend she's a mermaid. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up.

DH will not blow his nose, he just sniffs constantly! I have almost divorced him over this several times He is allergic to almost everything in the known universe, so he sniffs A LOT. He is also obsessed with Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Crystalina..
Don't feel bad.. I had a filly like that. She was 2 and was meaner than heck. She would turn her butt to me and try to kick me. She put me over the fence chasing me.. she was mean mean mean.

I traded her off for this new buckskin horse I got .. and the person I traded her too already has her broke.. and riding good. She is doing great and it makes me madder at her more.

She just didn't like me. It happens. They are like people with their own personalities and they choose who they like and don't..lol

Kaitlin'smom replied: you all are funny let me think

me-I LOVE to have my hair played with
love to have my back rubbed
cant stand for most people to touch my feet
I pick at my nails (unless I have fake ones on)
my bedroom is a huge mess (really I will pick it up someday, if I can find where things are suppose to go so I wont forget )

DH- snors
falls asleep in the shower quite often
wont eat any veggie but corn
also loves for his back to be rubbed

Kaitlin- wont sleep in her bed unless her canopy is closed around her
prefers her hair to be down
is obsessed with pink
loves to have her back and tummy rubbed
will try most things offered but hardly likes any of it
is a BIG talker

thats all I can think of for now

My3LilMonkeys replied: Me - I like to pick pimples. I attack DH all the time.
I have a huge pet peeve for bad spelling/grammar/writing in professional pieces. I read reports, letters, etc. at work and mentally rewrite them constantly.

DH - Refuses to eat anything that has onions in or on it, but loves onion rings.

Brooke - has very strong obsessive/compulsive tendancies. She freaks out if you put a toy back in the wrong drawer, book on the wrong shelf, stuffed animal in the wrong place on her bed, anything.

Madison - will eat 24/7 if you'd let her. She could eat an entire meal (the same size that I eat if I would let her) and if she sees you with food 5 minutes later she steals it.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
So glad to hear I'm not the only one! I can't stand to see them and MUST get rid of them at once...ha ha!
