crazy kids

apparently my son likes shoving things in his ear. today it was a wadded up green sticker....

and of course, when i asked him why he did it, he answered with. 'why not?'

say what?

One of my favorite conversations with my son at the beginning of the kindergarten school year:

CR5YO: "I have 6 girlfriends!"
Me: "Why do you have 6?"
CR5YO: "Because all the girls love them some Thomas mama"
Me: "No, baby, no.... that's not how it works. you only need ONE girlfriend""
CR5YO: "There's enough Thomas to go around!"

to this day, it still amuses me to no end.  But I still haven't decided whether to be proud of him for his obvious self-confidence or be upset that at 5 he is already playing the field. 

I am in so much trouble when he gets older!

Where does he come up with these?

just a few more quips my amazing child has said over the course of the past few weeks:

* "my mom's a human reindeer"

* driving to lunch one fine Sunday:
cr5yo: "my mom buys a lot of different purses. I have seen them in my pictures"
fiancee: "why do you have pictures of your mom's purses?"
Cr5yo: "i have pictures of my mom with different purses & I putted dem on facebook! It's TRUE!" (I've had the same purse for three years now)

* "Guys, there are no bad guys behind us. The coast is clear!"

* "is there a karate place at the airport?"

*cr5yo: "how do people turn into a chicken nugget?"
Me: "i don't know"
cr5yo: "if you eat too much chicken nuggets, then you will turn into one"
...good to know

* "If we were on top of the roof, then we would not have any swimming suits & not jump into the pool. And just relax & not get no towels or nothing"

From the mouths of babes...

My son, Thomas has a particular knack for spouting out random phrases and idioms. I have decided at this point they are too great not to share.

Here is just a smattering of some of the things he has told me & my fiancee recently:

* "My mom is not a woman; if she were a woman, she would be fat!"
* "Penguins don't eat apples"
* Our dog likes to bark at my future father-inlaw a lot, so my son's response to her was "Lady, Ruff Ruff yourself!!"
* "Football games are only for boys!"
* My dad decided to tell him that people who know sign language are aliens, so he ran around for a week chanting "My mom's an alien"
* On the same note, he then told my fiancee "My mom's not special, she's an alien! THIS IS NOT A STORY, THIS IS TRUE!!"
* Also, along the same line, he told him; "My mom is a white alien, trust me Mike, trust me. My grandparents told me so!"
* "if you put wood chips in a water bottle, then fill the bottle with water, you have woodchip water."
* "Woodcip water tastes like woodchips"
* "I can run super fast, but not as fast as the midgets!"
* Said while walking the dogs; "Buddy was about to wrap me up like a Christmas present!" (apparently our black lab went around him with the leash)
* Eating dinner one night "Oh, I get it; if we eat hot food we get hot, but if we eat cold food we get cold!"
* One of his more amusing musings: "The President of the United States ONLY eats American food. And never eats Chinese food and never eats Mexican food! Because this is America and we like American Food!!!"
* "Do dogs hate Monkeys?"
* "Strawberrys are the most yummy fruit because they have seeds in them"

That's really just a small sampling of the things that have come out of his mouth recently.  I will be posting more as I compile them.  He keeps us laughing daily with the things he says and I feel so blessed to be his mother
