Parker and Aaron's latest quotables

*Parker: *rubs my belly* and then in the same sweet voice he uses when talking to Bentley, he says "you are a good doggie"

I think it's supposed to be a compliment?


*Kevin hurt his back a few months ago and had a bit of trouble moving around for an evening. Aaron and Parker wanted to be his "helpers" and help him put on his socks. They quickly discovered that daddy is very very ticklish on his feet. They found this new knowledge delightful.

I made a comment about Kev being so ticklish. I said "just barely touching your feet is enough to make you scream like a cheerleader". I didn't realize Parker heard my comment. It was soon apparent that he not only overheard, but he found it so funny that it became a favorite saying for a few days. He tickled anyone in reach and said "I'm gonna tickle you and make you screaaaaaaammmmm yike a cheerweader".

*Aaron speaking to someone that will remain nameless: very politely, "you, um, you kinda smell". He paused then followed with...

"Do you know that I said it that way because I didn't want to be rude? I almost said, 'ewww you stink', but that would be rude. So instead I said you kinda smell, that sounds nicer than you stink doesn't it?"



*Aaron to me: "Aren't you so glad you got me in your life?"

*Aaron: "I know all 'bout how you get babies. You pray. If you don't pray enough, you don't get a baby. God puts babies in bellies and you have to pray to get him to do it. Yup, I know all 'bout this baby makin' stuff."

*Parker: He had been outside, running around and having a grand time until I called him in for chores. He was very dramatic in making his point that he was too tired and too out of breath to work. A few minutes after assigning a job, I discovered he had disappeared. I found him in his bed, huffing and puffing. I asked what he was doing and he said...

"I'm all out of bref, so I can't work. I'm takin' a break and getting more bref so I can finish."

*Parker upon seeing a huge rocket at a museum: "It's really really really big. It's, it's, it's GILANTIC!!!"

*Parker after playing outside in the summer heat. "quick, I hafta go inside before I die. I'm dyin' here 'cause it's to hot to live."

*Parker, completely random thought while riding home from a party: "Do you think I could suffocate from a sticker?" (he pronounces suffocate--stuff-O-cate)

*Last night, Parker wanted a specific tee shirt of Kevin's. He said, "Give me your charlie brown shirt the one with all the charlie brown people the blue one that's darkish that has nail polish on it". He said it exactly like that, really fast, no pausing or taking a breath.

In return, Kev said "How about a 'please' with that" and without a thought, Parker said "It won't fit".

We worked on trying again with a shorter sentence so 'Please' would fit in there.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to discipline this child? ;-)
