The role of the police officer

A: Mommy why is that policeman talking to the people in the car? Me: sometimes the policeman pulls over cars and gives them a ticket. A: and then they give the ticket to the lady so they can ride the carousel?! Can we get a ticket too?

Ali's view of sports

"We can go watch Andrew play baseball and then he can play football and then he will stink!"

Sunday School

Ali is singing a song she learned in Sunday School but she doesn't quite have the words right:
My God is so BIG and so STRONG and my God has nothing to do!

One for the books

This is an old one, but needs to be recorded:

Conversation between my 2 year old and my 11 year old: "What happenend to it Max?" "It went byebye Ali" "What happened to it Max?" "It went byebye Ali" "What happened to it Max" (Max answers louder) "It went byebye Ali" "What happened to it Max" (Max louder still) "IT WENT BYEBYE ALI" Ali stops and then says "I can hear you Max". Translation: I'm not deaf!

Beginning Again

Time to start keeping record of the funny things #3 says!:

Last night while taking a bath, she is counting to 10 in Spanish (at age 3). Then, I hear her stop and say "how do you say naked in Spanish?"

Innocence is not lost... yet

Quote from my 13 year old when asked by his pediatrician if he felt he needed a girlfriend at this age: "Well, I don't use my phone to text, so what would I do with a girl?"

Dilemma of the Day

My 10 year old's gecko is sick. Do I spend $80 to have him "looked at" by a vet or spend $15 to get a new one and break my son's heart? Who ever said parenting was easy!

Long time coming

Wow, so much has happened since my last post. I don't expect people to even be reading this anymore. But, for the sake of remembering some time in the future, I share another great "Maxism".

Max was at church with his Dad yesterday. He didn't want to go into the auditorium for worship. When G. asked him why not, he replied (dead pan serious by the way): Dad, I'm just not into karaoke. Trying hard not to laugh, G asked him what he meant. To which Max replied: you know dad, words on a screen, people with microphones, singing... it's just karaoke!

How funny to see through the eyes of a child! Love it!
