Robbery 101

Luke saw this book today and said, "Hey - I'd like the Bank Robbery Book!"
Boy, it's a bit scary to think that's what he sees in this picture!

He Might Not Marry Me After All

I was talking with Luke about his previous daycare teachers. I said, "First there was Tammy, then Tiffany and the me. Who was your favorite?"
I know I always set myself up for these things but was hoping he'd say me. Nope. His response was, "Um I'd have to say Tiffany!!"

Didn't help that later in the day he told me that the little girl he played with at the ballpark was "a lot prettier" than me!

Riddle Me This

Andrew read us a riddle off of a Laffy Taffy wrapper. None of us knew the answer so he said, "Ok if you give up, the answer is... Answer under flap! Ha!"
If you've never eaten Laffy Taffy (shame on you!!), you may not realize that they print the answer under the flap to make it more fun. Like Laffy Taffy needs any help being fun.
The best part was it took us a while to get him to realize that he hadn't read the actual answer but he thought the joke was still funny!

Morbid Magnets

Don just found a bunch of magnets and Ryan told him to leave them out where he could play with them. Of course I am afraid one of these fools will swallow them so I told him no.
Ryan said, "I'll swallow one in my throat and then put one against my neck and I'll choke. That's a life lesson for ya!"
I didn't find it the least but funny when they all laughed at me when I told them that was actually a death lesson!

Last But Not Least

I told Ryan that I was always glad when someone else was up to bat at the end of his baseball games. I said, "I just always feel bad for you if you are the last out."
Luke was sitting there and yelled, "Hey! I am the last Stout!"

Smarty Pants

Luke got a Madagascar toy in his happy meal yesterday and wanted to know the zebra's name. This conversation followed:
Me: His name is Marty.
Luke: Smarty?
M: No - it's Marty.
L: Smarty?
M: No, there's no S. It's not Ssssmarty, It's Mmmmarty.
L: OK.
Mind you, this actually went on in the same way for quite some time!
After 10 minutes or so of silence in the back of the van as they watched their movie, Luke all of the sudden yelled out, "Smarty is funny!!"
