From the Mouths of Babes

I'm a little punchy tonight - woke up in a panic last night at 4am to howling winds for the third time in as many weeks.  Checked my Blackberry and saw that Wake county had once again fallen under "tornado watch" status.  Needless to say I did not get back to sleep!  Branches the size of medium trees littered the yard today.  This weather is crazy!

Want to post a few funny things I've overheard D & B say lately.  There have been some real humdingers recently!

Quote #1 - Devlyn


Context:  Family dinner on the porch, working on table manners after "poopie" has inevitably entered the conversation several times.  C & I reiterate that mealtime chat should revolve around civilized, polite topics.  A few questions about what that means are answered.  Devlyn thinks for a minute and excitedly blurts out:

"One time Luke's best friend had a pet worm and it exploded!" 


Luke is Devlyn's best preschool buddy and in D's mind this was entirely appropriate dinner conversation!  Ha!

Quote #2 - Blake

Context: Out to dinner at the Mellow Mushroom, playing video games in the bar area waiting for an outside table.  Devlyn is playing a hunting video game.  I am holding Blake as we watch Devlyn play.  In between rounds, scantily clad cuties pop up on the screen and shimmy around.  After the third time said cuties make an appearance onscreen, Blake looks up at me and says, "Mommy, I yike yose yadies."  Charles chimes in, "Me too Blake.  Me too."

Quote #3 - Blake

Context: Devlyn's first t-ball game has ended and Blake is reveling in the fact that he got his very own after game snack and juice just like the big boys on the team!  The Mom and son who brought the team snacks are leaving, walking to their car.  Blake says good bye to them at least 5x as they walk to their car and finally as they are almost out of earshot he screams at the top of his lungs, "BYE, I yove it!" referring to the snack they gave him.  He was SO seriously sincere that if I hadn't been laughing so hard my heart would have broken.



Ahhhh....good stuff.
