I Thought His Name was Sharkey?

For no apparent reason, Luke has been signing his name as "Luke Pig" on all of his schoolwork. Oink.

Fight Club

Ryan and Andrew were discussing karate today and which belts their old instructors had.
Andrew - "Miss Pepper was a 5th degree black belt."
Ryan - "Her husband was an 8th degree black belt!"
Andrew - "Oh man I'd like to see them fight!"
Overhearing all of this I told them that he wasn't actually her husband - they have been divorced for a long time.
Ryan yelled out, "Whoa! Then I'd really like to see them fight!"

The Two Other Lukes

Luke commented today that "it's weird that there are 2 other Lukes."  Don asked if he meant there were 2 other Lukes in his class and he replied, "No!  Star Wars and the Bible!"

Opposite of Being Hit with the Ugly Stick

Don was telling a story about a friend of his in high school that got smacked by another kid's dad for doing something rude. The boys thought it was hilarious and I said that "in the olden days", any parent could smack any kid that deserved it. It wasn't like today where people got in trouble for that.
Andrew said, "Whoa. So you mean a grown-up could go up to a kid in a store and hit them and say, 'You are too ugly?'"

Sigh-cology

Andrew said this to me on the way home from school today...
"I don't know why but Emma keeps looking at me and sighing. She did it all day long."
After I quit laughing, I told him that she was either in love with him or really irritated by him. Don told him that it might be both.

Hope He Got the Recipe

Ryan told me that they made "homemade" mud at school. Thank goodness - that's way better than store bought.

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.
