Children can say some funny stuff, and my
son is no different. I've decided to document some of the funnier things he has
said:
 One day, when about 3 or so he
suddenly, out of the blue, asked me, "Mommy?
Will you teach me how to fly?" [Sure, no
problem - !!!!!]
(At 5): "When clouds go away from here, they just go to get more water.
Then they come back and it rains." Now
how's that for being astute?
One day, he kept
climbing up on the kitchen table and I kept telling him to get down and quit doing
that. He repeatedly ignored me and was uncharacteristically defiant.
Apparently, my eyes got wide with disbelief at his behavior. The next thing I knew
he piped up, "Mommy, let's play a game to see
whose eyes can get biggest."
First day of preschool: A teacher was taking some kids to show where
the bathroom was and asked my son if he wanted to come along. When he showed some
reluctance, she said, "It's ok, I'm a teacher." My sons's reply: "Oh, you're a teacher? I thought you were just the
Tour Guide." ROFL!
Here's a good one: "I make up my dreams as I go."
My mom's favorite: "Grandma, I
know you're a girl, 'cause you're not a boy. But you're not really a lady, because
you're old. I guess you're sort of an experiment."
Here's a story he told me at 5 yrs. old:
"Once upon a time when I was all grown up... I
was a baseball player. And I hit the ball really hard. And it went way, way up
in the sky..... and GOD CATCHED IT! Then, God tried to throw it back to me, but it
went and it HIT THE MOON! So then I got in my racecar and I went zoom, zoom up to
the moon, and I got the ball!"
After using markers to draw all over his body, he told me that he just
wanted to make himself pretty. I told him that he was pretty already, that he was a
pretty boy. He said, "Well actually, I'm
just charming."
I have not updated
this in years, but here's a few more:
I once asked him if he LIKED making
me mad. When he said "yes", I asked him why. "Because you
make funny faces!" And he still attests to
this. So I try not to get mad - unless my goal is to entertain him. LOL
This is classic: "I trust
you with my life, Mom, but never my Legos."
And when I told him to quit arguing with me: "It's not arguing, it's PERSUASION."
