phrases

OK I have a few new phrases that my kids have come up with...Most of them are from Nate.

When Nate and I had our beautiful day together, we were sitting there eating ice cream and he said "OHHH MY God". I tried to inform him that we shouldn't say that word, let's try to say gosh instead. He told me that his dad says it. I explained we all say it and shouldn't!! He then told me that "Dad shouldn't say bitch either". How the heck do ya not laugh at that word coming out of a 4 year old mouth??

It reminds me of when Luke was taking a bath one night and I asked him if he washed himself, and he told me " Mom you need to wash my asshole". I'm laughing at that one just typing this. Funny. Not appropriate but funny. He informed me a couple weeks later that I needed to wipe his asshole, so I had to put a stop to that word!!

This story you have to know Sadey. She is the sweetest hearted child but half the time is on another planet. Maybe that's how she deals with life, which isn't such a bad idea. Her Grammie tells me she is up with the clouds. Anyways...she has to bring 50 cents for Awana dues every Wednesday (a kids church program), and I always tell her to put it in her pockets so she won't lose it. Last Wednesday her teacher said that Sadey had claimed to bring her 50 cents but couldn't find it. The teacher looked through every bag and had no luck. As I'm standing there her teacher told her to put the change in her pockets from now on. And Sadey looked at her as if she had NEVER heard that before and said " OHHHHH" like she finally got it. We still haven't located that money. She probably gave it to somebody so they could have their dues.

Nate was just whining and complaining that he isn't a super hero. There is no leaf or tree that can make him one. I mean seriously upset about it. I told him that he was a super hero to me, and that of course was NOT good enough. He then informed me that his daddy told him that he is old fashioned. What?? I asked him what that meant, and he told me that he isn't old but he isn't as good as new either. Where this kid comes up with this stuff I will never know. Like a few months ago mom told us that he was jumping on a book and she asked him why. He told her that he thought by jumping on the book that he could get IN the book. Oh the joys of childhood. How cool would that be to jump into a book. He has also had an imaginary friend for a few months now...mysteriously it is called the other Nate who does all the bad things....hmmmm smart I know.

It's sad that most of these are about Nate because I never wrote the other ones down. That's why I'm doing it now before all these treasures of laughter are lost!! I know Dev was a funny kid and said lots of things that blew our mind. They all did. Amazing.
