Spot on Wombat

Robert wrapped up showing a "My Little Pony" video on YouTube to the Wombat.

Robert: Oh well. It's over. *changes screens* and ...now it's gone forever!

Wombat: Argh! *starts mussing his hair vigorously with both hands* I'm going to give you ANOTHER bald spot!

A Wombat Story about a Cat

This is a story the Wombat wrote in school. I have edited it for spelling but the content is the same:

"Once there was a cat named Freya.
She was the best cat ever.
She loves to play with her toy mice.
She liked cat kibble but now doesn't.
One day she turned evil. Nobody knew how it happened too.
She ate a cat building and ate all the cat clothing.
She was never heard of again too.
She liked mice but she died."

Censored Wombat

Wombat: Is it OK for me ever to say the F word?
Me: What??? No! Never say that.
Robert: And if you do say that you will get in trouble with me and then with Mommy
Wombat: But sometimes it's OK to say at the doctor.
*Robert and I look at each other*
Me: Wait..what do you think the F word IS?
Wombat: *blushes* "Frow up?"
*Robert and I burst into laughter*
Me: THROW up is not the F word, and you are allowed to say that at appropriate times.
Robert: Oh no, now we've opened up a whole can of worms...

Timekeeper Wombat

Wombat was sick Friday night but was bright eyed and bushy tailed by Sunday. This morning on the way to track-out camp...

Wombat: So I had a 24 hour bug which is the same as a 1 day bug because there are 24 hours in a day right?
Me: Yes. And how many minutes in an hour?
Wombat: Um...60?
Me: Right! And do you know how many seconds in a minute?
Wombat: Also 60! ....Except for our clock which is slow.

Bieber Wombat

While driving the Wombat to school:

Wombat: Mommy, all the girls in my class have a crush on Justin Bieber
Me: Really? Do you?
Wombat: Well...no.
Me: I didn't know first graders even knew what a crush is! Do you know what a crush is?
Wombat: Mommmmm *huffs and gives off a vibe of general embarrassment*
Me: Geez. Sorry!
Wombat: Trinity really loves him. She dresses like a small teenager. Trinity missed a whole day of school to go to a Justin Bieber concert!
Me: Wow!
Wombat: I would never do that! School is more important than concerts. Even Justin Bieber concerts.
Me: *resists the urge to hug my daughter since I am driving a vehicle at 45mph* That is very responsible of you.
Wombat: I know. I'm weird.
Me: I love you.
Wombat: I love you too, Mommy.

Wombat: ..fashionable?
