Big League

Quote from Ryan... "When I'm in the MLB, I don't want Will Ferrell using my name for comedy."

Your guess is as good as mine.

Or We Could Just Buy Some Chocolate?

Luke and I happened upon a ton of samples at Sam's.  There was one guy giving away chocolate truffles.  After we walked away and ate them, Luke suggested we go back for more.  I told him everyone only gets one and the guy would recognize us.  Luke looked all sneaky and said, "Sam's sells clothes.  Let's go buy some and put them on and he won't know it's us!"

I Guess That Make it Easy to Swap Styles

I overheard Andrew saying to Ryan, "Oh that guy.  He has Lego hair!"

I Go for Comfort Over Style Obviously

Luke and I were talking about silly things people say and I told him that someone said "thank you, sir" to me after I held a door open for them.
I said, "Hello? Couldn't he see I was a girl?"
Luke looked me up and down and said, "Maybe he was looking at your shoes."

My Atari Never Caused Such Pain

Luke was crying about something he couldn't get past in his video game. I told him he should turn it off if a game was going to make him cry. He replied, "I'm not crying. I just have a lot of water in my eyes."

Deep Thoughts by Andrew

"Birds are faster than you think. They don't have traffic lights."

Spider Confusion

Luke brought home a paper spider from school.  The boys all made them in kindergarten and I knew there was a story that went with it.  I couldn't remember the spider's name but I said I thought it started with an "A."
No one else remembered either and we kind of forgot about it.
Out of the blue several days later, Luke suddenly yelled that he remembered the spider's name...  Beyonce!

Thinking that he was probably not quite right, I looked up the story.  Turns out the spider's real name is Anansi.

Sick Day Entertainment

Luke is home today recovering from strep throat.  He feels fine and is being highly entertaining to me.  Couple of quotes from him...

Me: What's that red spot on your arm?  Does it itch?

Luke: It's been there mostly for three days and it's kind of itchy.

Me: After lunch, I can put some cream on it.

Luke: Really?  Whipped cream?!?

And after a long discussion of who he sits by at school...  "Ethan used to sit by me but he had to move.  He is even more talkable than me!"

Second Best

Luke had a minor incident at school involving talking (shocker) so he had to sit out at PE for a while.
I told him the next day that I expected him to be the best kid in class that day. He shook his head and said, "Nope. Can't do that. Henry is the best kid in the school."
Today I asked if he was good. He said, "Yes. But not as good as Henry."
I need to meet this kid!

Makes Sense

For whatever reason I was looking at Luke's hand. He pointed to one of his fingers and said, "I don't chew on my sharpest finger!"

Maybe He's Doing P90x in His Sleep

Me: Andrew, do you want to run with me and Ryan in the morning?
Andrew: Nah. I might be sore in the morning.
Me: What are you sore from?
Andrew: Nothing.

But He Has a Lot to Say

Luke has talked nonstop today since I picked him up from school. Literally... there hasn't been more than 2 seconds of silence from him.
As I was putting him in the bathtub I said, "You've sure talked a lot tonight. You having trouble adjusting to not being able to talk all day at school?"
He looked thoughtful and said, "I'll start that tomorrow."
I can see his future now - I'll be getting a talking to in the carpool line!

A Tale of Rabies

This funny comes courtesy of Nana who was kind enough to take the boys to the zoo while I had a wonderful time at the dentist...
"At the zoo the other day when we were eating lunch, they were all having fun watching squirrels. We saw one with no tail and Ryan said, yep, that means he has rabies!"

I Love Lukeisms

Luke just told me he could walk on his "thumb toes" underwater. I'll never call them "big toes" again.

Hopefully Not His Only Talent

Luke's strange and interesting fact for the day - he can lick his own elbow. Try it for yourself - it's next to impossible.

Drink and a Haircut

Don took the boys to play putt-putt today and the course has several old buildings you play through.  Don looked up and said, "Hey we get to go to the saloon now."  Ryan replied with, "No way - I don't want a haircut!"

Daily Pains

I had a sudden pain in my stomach today and yelped. They all wanted to know what was wrong and I said my appendix just burst.
Showing no concern at all for me, Andrew said, "Oh well that happens to me every day."

Granny Gimicks

I looked at Flynn while we were eating dinner and said I felt bad for him - he was laying on the back porch looking pitiful.
Andrew said not to worry about him because he was asleep. Ryan looked over and said, "He's not asleep. He has Grandma eyes."

I wasn't aware of this phrase but all three boys agreed that it is a widely used term to mean you are pretending your eyes are closed but you are peeking. Who knew??

Fruity

Quote from Ryan -
"I'm not a vegetarian - I eat fruit!"

Can't Fake Him Out

In a parade this weekend, we saw a float representing the local water park. At the top of the float was a lifeguard sitting in the lifeguard stand.
We happened to see the float later in the day and we realized that it was a mannequin instead of a real person.
When this was pointed out, Luke said, "It is a real guy. It's a real dummy guy."
