Smiling...

It has happened again. I have piles of sticky notes and old grocery lists with my kids' funny quotes that need to be put in one place. Here they are...

Rus (Age 4) comes out with the winners. These are his:

When I invited him to do preschool with me, he answered, "Let's do it at the table, Mom. It's more stable here."

He woke up early from his nap while I was wrapping Christmas gifts. His explanation was, "Mom, I wanted to get up to supervise you."

"Mom, I just misspeaked!"

"I don't like those oranges, but they taste lovely to the kids!"

"I did my independent work, so I was very impressive."

As we were heading out for evening church, "Mom, are we going to worship God ONE MORE TIME?"

"Can I sleep with Sis; I think she needs to be comforted."

Heading to Grandma's, he asked if his baby brother would be watching him there. I said "okay," and he looked so relieved.

"Mom! The fire is in the red. You should have closed the dampers!!"

Big sis was humming the song, "If You're Happy and You Know It..." He blurted out in an incredulous tone, "God doesn't help with HAPPINESS!!"

"When my face is red, I go zoomin' to the potty!"

"Mom! I did big poops, little poops, male and female poops..."

Commenting on my friend Kathy and Artie's recent visit, "Kathy was kind of his wife. All adults need wives because wives love adults. Now I want a cheese stick."

"His first name is Uncle, his last name is Adam, and he is kind of like a cousin."

"Jesus is God's ONLY FORGOTTEN SON."

AND A COUPLE FROM THE OTHER THREE...

Leo (age 8) recently told me about his stuffed animal from Stephen's childhood...

"Curious George has been passed through the generations!"

After the dog's bath, "Mom, will Cora mildew?!"

And from Stella...

When Stephen scolded her for rolling her eyes, she replied, "Daddy, I was just shifting my gaze!"

Baby Tert was calling me from his crib, "Mama! Mama!" Eventually he lost heart and began to call, "Ora!! Ora!!" (for Cora, our dog)

His favorite phrases are, "I'll show you!!" and "Yes we can!!"
