I may have completely altered the future of my son’s life by blogging about him. Nullifying any chances he might have at running for public office, then again in these tumultuous times, maybe not! These are the musings of a mother’s love for her son…Madman.
This blog chronicles the lives of our sons, mostly Marcus for whom this blog is named after (Madman) and his brother Hunter. They play, they laugh, they beat each other up and they bring joy to our lives...pretty much every day ;-)
Sauteed with Butter
Marcus, What would you like for dinner? "Onions." Onions? You only want onions for dinner?!? "Yes, just onions" And how would you like your onions? Peeled like an apple?! "No, silly! I just want them sauteed with butter."
Kids can be quit literal...
I'm cleaning up my tools and Hunter is just standing there watching me, so I look at him and say..."I could use some help"...so of course he takes off. Not 4 minutes later my neighbors are in my backyard asking me if I needed help. Looks like when he took off, he actually went across the street, rang the doorbell and told the neighbors I needed help!!!
Tissues are for....
"Nan, See those dots" What dots? "The dots on the tv." There are dots on the tv? "Ya, they're boogers." Whose boogers are they? "Mine." Why would you put boogers on the TV screen? "Because I didn't know where else to put them." Ever heard of a tissue?!?!? "A tissue?!?" Yes, Marcus, the thing you blow your nose with? "Nan, I picked my nose. I didn't blow it."
Analogy
"Hey Nan, look at this......this is like a cup that holds all the pee and this is like the straw that sucks all the pee out!"
April Fools
"Nan?"
Yes?
"The other Mommy said we are going to be getting a Daddy."
She did? Why would she say that?
"Well, if you're gone and mommy is gone then no one is with us and who will take care of the house?"
Why are Mommy and I leaving?
"Well, Gramma call on the phone and you need to go see her because she hurt her back and you need to make her a sculpture..."
MARCUS!
"Oh, all right....We were just messing with you about the Daddy."
Yes?
"The other Mommy said we are going to be getting a Daddy."

Nose Picker
I walk into the living room with my cup of coffee this morning and say "Hey, Good Morning Mr. Magoo!" He turns around and looks at me, with his finger in his nose and says "That's Mr Nose Picker to you Nan."
Good Morning.
Madman’s salutation to everyone as he walks into the dining room at the hotel for breakfast; “Good morning” “ Good morning” “Good morning” “Good morning” “Good morning….(Stops and taps the gentleman) excuse me sir, I said Good morning”
Some things are best left alone
And so our Sunday morning routine was disrupted for mere seconds upon hearing these delightful words float in from the living-room, "Stop picking my nose!" "Let go of my penis!"
It's all crazy!
This floating down the hallway from Madman’s room this morning as I sip my coffee, “It’s all crazy. When I open my eyes, everything is just crazy.” And silently wondered if he had drank some of my Scotch last night.
