I May Take Up Prize Fighting

posted by Momo Fali on March 13, 2008

My son brought home a book he made at school with some pictures inside.

This is me. I am happy, but I am also wearing boxing gloves just in case I need to knock somebody out. At least he made me skinny.


This is my husband. I don’t know about you, but I think he needs a haircut. I noticed he’s missing his ears, which would explain why he never hears anything I say. Also, his lack of arms is probably why he doesn’t help much around the house.

    Children are so insightful.

  • Dad Speed


    That’s a very funny way of looking at the pictures. You definitely think outside the box.

    Actually sounds like the same reasons my wife would give 🙂

  • Ashley


    Hahahaha hilarious!

    I love those pics and your commentary lol

  • Katy


    Your son has a lot of potential there…his insightful perspective is a talent!

  • Xbox4NappyRash


    Er…I’m loving Momo’s adams apple…

  • evancalous


    Your husband’s hair is FANTASTIC and you have the longest neck I’ve ever seen! Did he draw himself?

  • holly


    dang it, it’s hard to type when you’re laughing so hard.

    but the really important thing i think you missed here is : how did you ever have children? both of you are missing those fundamental parts! and even if somewhere there was a line on your husband that i *didn’t* see, with no hands

    oh wait. this is a kid’s picture. i forgot for a moment, as the artwork is superior to my own.

  • Rachel


    That’s talent right there. But your comments… those make those priceless. Love it!

  • Nola


    Too funny! Maybe you knocked his arms off in a boxing match?

  • OHmommy


    Sweet.

    Seriously so freaking sweet!!!

    I frame my kids really great artwork. Just for fun. Those are frameable!!!

  • HRH


    I can’t help typos because of uproarious laughter. That is seriously funny.

  • Corey~living and loving


    I so love kids art….and post about kids art are even better. This one….is wonderful. Be glad you have arms. be very glad.

  • Mommy Bits


    These are great. I personally love the hubs hair!

  • Stella


    Maybe it’s a metaphor…how he views you….
    pretty funny though! I routinely wear my boxing gloves around the house, you never know when you’re going to need to knock your neighbor out!

  • boogiemum


    That is so funny. You know that they say you can analyze how children feel by how they draw. I wonder what a doctor would say about those pics ? 🙂

  • chefmom


    They’re hysterical!! He must see his mom as “tough”. ANd Dad…well, I guess the picture speaks for itself!! Too cute!

  • Lisa


    well we know who wears the pants, er, boxing gloves in your house 🙂

  • Candace


    are you on atkins? you are way too thin. eat a steak.

  • hottdog


    Wow! You’ve got a little artist on your hands! Well, I mean not really YOUR HANDS since you’re wearing boxing gloves and all. But he also forgot your boobs. what’s with that?
    lol

  • Stacey @Real World Mom


    Seems as though maybe your son has things figured out! 😉

  • The Immoral Matriarch


    They call ’em how they see ’em!!

  • Emma Sometimes


    You are very limber. How do you do it? My legs would be cramping from doing the splits so long.

    He’s a Dali indeed.

  • Kimmylyn


    God I love your blog!!! This is hysterical.. your boy is just awesome.. but I know you know that..!

  • Amy


    Oh that is just too funny. And too true!

  • MamaMo


    WOW! Not only do you box, but you look flexible enough to do that yoga pose that has Bossy so confounded.

  • <---That Girl


    very telling *L*

  • suchsimplepleasures


    that’s so funny!! makes you wonder about how your son views the two of you…hmmm, what’s going on in your house? probably same thing thats going on in my house!!! i’ve got a nice set of the hulk boxing gloves…and i’m NOT afraid to use them!

    oh, of course there’s room on my paper bag!! i’ll be more than happy to share it!!

    I cant, you are sofa king funny. I would have never put that together with these pictures. HYSTERICAL.

    Oh and ‘at least he made me skinny’ also priceless….

  • amanda

  • Christine, Queen of the Crazies

  • Dapoppins


    I love the stuff they come up with!

  • Tristi Pinkston


    If I had boxing gloves, I would be very happy. No more of this passive aggressive nonsense. . .

  • Jamie E


    ha! Love them pics!

  • newnorth


    rofl. you are so funny. great drawings

  • Dette


    lol – hilarious! Isn’t it a trip to look at their drawings and see how THEY see US?

    Of course, Dad is always the biggest one in the picture for my 6-year old.

    H*ll – I’ll be happy just to be IN it.

  • Jo Beaufoix


    They are brilliant. When I think of you now I will always think of you with boxing gloves, and not tthat it think of your husband, but if I did, I would think of him with toilet brush hair. Sooo attractive.

  • kawaii crafter


    LOL, love your narrative of the pictures

  • Kiera
