cohenisms, part 28

backstory: i had already filled the bathtub for bath-time. when i went to get cohen for bath-time, he started putting up a bit of a stink and ran away from me. moments later (and after time-out)...

cohen, whose left pant leg was wet up to his knee: “my pants are wet.”
me: “i see that, what happened?”
cohen: “i went to the bathtub and tried to hide in the water.”
me, suppressing laughter: “really?”
cohen: “yeah, it didn’t work.”
me, no longer doing a good job of suppressing laughter: “yeah, hiding in the water isn’t a good idea.”
cohen: “yeah, it didn’t work,” then he starts laughing, “cohen’s funny! it didn’t work!”

about fifteen minutes after we read stories and put the little man to bed, we hear him calling for us…

cohen: “mommy! there’s pee-pee everywhere!”
so, while mommy changed him, i changed his bedsheets…
cohen: “pee-pee was on my leg. my foot was wet, so i wiped it with a sheet. i thought that was a good idea. it wasn’t,” laughing, “it wasn’t a good idea.”
and, once his bed was made…
cohen: “thanks for making my bed guys.”

et cetera.
