Kids say the darndest things...

well- specifically R. These are quotes from R over the past 3 years- he is quite an original thinker. Last weekend R came downstairs wearing a tux that I bought at a consignment sale for $3.00. I asked if he was a secret agent and he said "no, but my next office will be oval." OK, Mr. President! •We were reading a book called "Amazing Snakes" at bedtime last night. There was a gross picture of a snake eating a mouse (just its little back legs and tail were sticking out). I asked the boys what the snake was eating and R, with a grin, answered "Scabbers." Ha! Love that Harry Potter! •At 5 am this morning R and I were snuggling in my bed. M*A*S*H came on TV- I was kissing his sweet head and said "I sure do love you"- he answered back-"I sure do love M*A*S*H"- gee thanks! •Another R quote- after telling me about his nightmares last night (which is why he ended up in our bed) he was slowly brushing his teeth this morning and out of the blue says-"I can get morningmares too you know, like nightmares." He is a creative thinker, that one... :) •R as I was combing his hair after his shower- "Mommy, my hair looks stunning" That's my modest boy ;) •this morning while playing Cowboys and Indians R said "look out, the lawyers are attacking" -I assume he meant warriors... •Driving home from the boys dentist appt. yesterday R said "Mommy, I'm ready to go get my drivers permit." *sigh* •R after dinner tonight-"Mom, there's something I've got to tell you- I'm a famous Wizard- I'm on one of those chocolate frog cards." Harry Potter, anyone? •R quote from yesterday- "sometimes I smell chocolate without even seeing it..." Me too- buddy, me too.... •R just told me his pirate name is "golden tooth knife eye"- the knife only comes out of his eye when he is fighting Darth Vadar. •R quote- curled up in a blanket next to me on the couch-"this is nicer than a beach clam." •R quote- "Mom, I'm the teacher at R's school for bats and I need to wear my swimsuit today so I can go underwater to fetch food for the bats." Really, who can argue with this logic? •R quote of the day- this morning, R was telling mama about his "favorite" ( a blanket he has had since he was a baby) He said that his favorite is his buddy and that he likes to talk to it- he then whispered- "and you know what- he talks to me." Mama asked him what does he talk to you about? R answered quietly- "I can't tell you." Should we be worried or proud? •R says-"I want to be called stoplight because when I grow up I want to be a crossing guard." •At the end of the first Harry Potter movie we just watched R said "that was so good my stomach was full of fur." Love it! •Why I make dinner every night- R just said "thank you for dinner mommy, it was lovely"- ok- I'll feed you tomorrow little boy. •R climbed in the shower with me this morning- lifted his face to the warm water for a minute or so- stepped away a little bit and said "mommy, this water feels like sunshine at the beach." Did this poetic, smart little boy come out of me? I'm amazed on a daily basis.... When R was 3 he picked up his muffin with his fork- looked at me and said-"look mom, a fork-lift."
