Hello,My mummy said that I could watch a few minutes of Thomas on the computer, but I have secretly logged in to her blob.
Mummy is always writing stories in her blob (I think that’s what she says it is called). I’ve asked her what she is writing about but she just says, “Oh, not much. Stuff.” I bet she’s writing a secret story for us about trains and dinosaurs and monsters. I hope so. It would be really boring if she was just writing stories about being a mummy and complaining about how tough it all is.
As far as I can see, being a mummy is really, really, easy. She just has to tidy up a bit and go to the shops when we run out of milk, bread, yoghurts or Babybels. Oh, and I suppose she sometimes has to drive us all to her friend’s house so she can chat and eat cake and lots of biscuits.
I sometimes ask her to play Spiderman or Star Wars which is really easy. She’s a bit rubbish at Spiderman but she’s quite good at Star Wars and makes good Jedi costumes for us out of big t-shirts and dressing gown belts.
I suppose she does sometimes have to get our dinner and tea ready but that must be really easy as well. I’ve helped mummy make cakes before and all you have to do is put everything into the mixing machine and put it into the oven, so I suppose that must be how she makes our dinner and tea.
Most mornings, mummy says she’s getting really cross because we won’t get dressed or brush our teeth properly. But it’s silly getting cross about little things like that. I only get cross about really important things like whose turn it is to get out of the bath first and having my sandwiches cut into triangles.
I think mummy probably needs to go to bed a bit earlier rather than sitting up all night writing anyway, because she’s always saying she’s “tired of it all.”
Anyway, I can hear her coming up the stairs now so I’d better get back to my Thomas page. Promise not to tell her I was writing on her blob. I think she likes to keep it a little bit secret.

Ah that's lovely - I am sure nobody appreciates how hard Mum's have it until they become one themself!
ReplyDeleteHi Max, you are a very clever little boy, I won't tell your mummy about your secret blobbing!
ReplyDeleteLoved it, I think you got it right there, we are so under appreciated but someday they'll find out, God love them !!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love this blob post!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteWait till he gets to my older kids' ages and you have to ask permission to blob about them! Or they ask you, are you going to blob about that Mum?
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Oh, Hot Cross Mum, you made me chuckle as always!!
I think I'm going to have to start following this Blob - just to see what you write next Max!! (But please don't tell my kids you are allowed on the puter!)
ReplyDeleteNice one Max, and I like that you have your priorities right. Every four year old should have sandwiches in triangles, it should be a rule!! I enjoyed your blob post and hope you can do it again. However, I will not be introducing you to my children just yet, because, well, just because :D Can you tell your Mum I found her through the irish mum bloggers site? thank you:) Jen.
ReplyDeleteI think Max should blob regularly. He is very adept already, just like his mummy.
ReplyDeleteHe could be Hot Cross Son!
:D
Great blob post! And really, when it's put like that, parenting sounds like a pretty fantastic job. And not hard at all. Hmmm.. if only dinner really could be made in the mixer...
ReplyDeletemade me chuckle! good thing to read first thing in the morning, when I've just shipped reluctant and VERY slow dressing / getting ready child off to school! Armineh@TupTupToys
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. Me again, Max. Just sneaked back in. Thank you all for saying such kind things. Maybe I will write something else soon. I like the Hot Cross Son idea Mrs Insomni-thingy Mummy. Oh, and I especially like the picture of the 'Tip Tup Toys' monkey. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, you have gievn me a nice smile at work! Thanks, Mich x
ReplyDeleteGood man Max. Great writing. Its really easy isnt it? Writing that is.. I bet your mummy probably says its hard too... But maybe you are WonderMan Max - able to do all sorts of clever things! Off now to put our dinner in the dinner machine thingy! Bye Max
ReplyDeleteHey Max, this blobbing thing's a breeze. You'll be in the top ten in no time. And people, like, send you stuff to write about. I've just been sent a shower curtain!
ReplyDeleteNo, you're right. Playing Star Wars would be better...
I very much enjoyed this blob, next time a v-blob please, with sound effects too. x
ReplyDeleteclassic! Your 4 year old is VERY observant.
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled across your blob. Love it!
ReplyDeleteMax has obviously inherited his mum's writing talent. Of course you relise much of this blob could have been titled "when husbands Blog". Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI love that ... my blob !
ReplyDeleteMischievous little Max! I had the Doogie Howser music in my head when I was reading this blob!
ReplyDeleteAwwww.... Adorable. Thanks for a smile.
