Out of the mouths (Spring/Summer 2011 edition)

Some of these are reposts from facebook, but not everyone that reads the blog are my facebook friends, so I'm sharing again.


*Aaron: "Mommy could you please dump out my water bottle and fill it up with different water? This water is too dry."

*Aaron: Is it summer now?

Me: almost, it's still Spring for a couple of weeks.

Aaron: Oh. *pause* Um, why are you eating ice-cream if its still Spring?

Me: Ice-cream is yummy any time.

Aaron: Yeah, but its better in the summer. *pause* Well, it's kind of worser too because in the summer it melts fast and you have to eat it fast. If you eat it fast its not as fun.

*Aaron made my bed and worked really hard to make sure there were no "bumps or wrinkles" anywhere. When he was all finished he said, "A good job didn't I? Don't you think I should be famous for this?"

*Aaron: That sound is annoying me.

Me: I'm sorry, it's a bird outside your window, there isn't anything I can do.

Aaron: Can't you take it's batteries out?

*Aaron is "teaching" Parker while they are playing. He's telling him things like 24hrs is a day, 7 days is a week, etc. Parker said, "and 100 days is...is...well 100 days is something"

*Parker was doing something silly and I called him a goofball. He said, "If I'm a goofball you're a..." pause "...you're a meatball!"

*Parker: I am DEFINITELY putting a hang-glider on my birthday list!

Aaron: WHY? That would be really very dangerous don't ya think?

Parker: Yes and dangerous is fun!

Aaron: I think that's a bad idea. Anyway, mommy won't get you that. She'll go with something safer.

*Parker was supposed to be doing his chores of tossing laundry downstairs and emptying the bathroom trash. He came out the family room and said, "I can't do my chores yet. I need a quiet place out here. Shhhhh, I'm listening. Do you hear it? My heart is still pumping." Guess it's good to check that once in a while.
