Him: "I have this weird thing on my foot."
Me: "Yeah, that is weird, it kind of looks like a Spider bite."
Him: "A spider bite?"
Me: "Looks like it... are your spidey senses tingling? Are you feeling the urge to climb the walls?"
Him: "Wait! Let me see!"
(Child runs face first into bedroom wall and falls to the ground)
Him: "Ow."
Me: "Nothing?"
Him: "Nope."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Him: "I can see with my ears."
Me: (Yeah, I had nothing here.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Him: (seeing he's in big trouble, he starts working the charm..) "I need a hug."
Me: Oh, you do do you?"
Him: "Yes. Should I get my 'Free Hug' coupon?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Him: "I've decided to save my money up."
Me: "Oh."
Him: ."Yes. So that just in case we have to live in a box, I can buy us food"
Me: "Really?"
Him:"Yes, I have 1.28 so far. That's enough for M&Ms."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Him: "I've decided that just in case we ever have to live in a box, I should get used to living off the land and eating leaves."
Me: "Um, OK?"
Him: "So I've started getting used to it by sucking on this leaf."
Me: "What!?! You can't just go sucking on leaves! Where did you get this one?"
Him: "You know the bush in the front with the flowers?"
Me: "The incredibly poisonous Rhododendron that could kill you or paralyze your muscles?"
Him: "Oops."
Me: (looking at the leaf noting is was not the Rhododendron) "Yeah, oops! No more eating leaves of any kind...got it?!?"
Him: "Got it, no more eating leaves... unless I check with you first..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: "You know Youngest, you're really exhausting me today."
Him: "You know Mom, I'm really exhausting a lot of people today."
Oh, I remember these days :) He is so cute. And the ear thing made me laugh out loud. Too funny.
ReplyDelete“I can see with my ears."
ReplyDeleteMaybe he was still in superhero mode. Daredevil sees with his ears.
For giggles, I am sure youngest will appreciate the irony of this... a few years back, an entire boy scout troop here ended up sicker than hell because they roasted their hot dogs over a campfire... using sticks cut from a rhododendron.
ReplyDeleteYour son is funny.
I love kids. :)
So... did you find a "Free hug" coupon - in your coupon clipping. Thanks for the great post.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would prefer to live in a box. She thinks it's cool.
ReplyDeleteWe have similar conversations but I aint smart enuff to write them down.
Little kids crack me up!

These are great, it sounds like the economy has him worried though.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they are wise beyond their years and others...well, let's just say you hope the brain damage isn't permanent!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThey're so great when you've got nothing else to post. They're like magic blog fillers.
ReplyDeleteOn morphine once after surgery I told someone I needed my glasses because I couldn't hear what they were saying to me.
ReplyDeleteI love talking to little kids, you never know what you're going to get out of them.
those are awesome. I swear kids say the most amazing things...you never laugh harder than you do at kids. haha. I can see with my ears.
ReplyDeleteLove it.

my boys slept in their closet for the first 2 years we lived here. Connor lasted longer than the others. He'd like to live in a box & eat M&Ms.
ReplyDeleteBoys are so much fun!
