I realize that Rus has earned the reputation of "family comedian" around here; however, most of my recent quotes come from his younger brother, Tert. It makes me sad to see my Rus growing up (he's almost 5!) and to be developing a more thoughtful side as he loses some of his goofiness. He still makes us smile with the cute things he comes out with...
Today he explained that, when he is cool enough during his nap, he just presses the F-O button on his fan. I realized that he meant the O-F button (as in O-F-F).
The other day Rus was in tears over some wrongdoing he had suffered. He blurted out, "Leo is NOT making my day brighter!" Later he added, "The kids are NOT making me make a joyful noise!"
Leo was mentioning to Rus that, someday, he (Leo) would pass down his great big bike to his younger brother. Rus thought about this for a minute and then replied, "I have a backup plan...instead of getting your old bike, I could get a NEW one."
Rus said, "Mom, at Planet Fitness they have these neat screens where you can watch shows of all the planets!" I realized that he meant to say "the PLANETARIUM."
Marveling over the anticipated lifespan of our new vehicle, Leo pointed out, "Stella will be drinking wine by the time we need to get a new car!"
Now for little Tert...
Daddy told him the other day that he was looking pretty DAPPER in his church clothes. Tert responded, "Daddy, I not a DIAPER!"
Tert will frequently lift my shirt over my huge tummy to kiss it and to "see if baby sisser is ready to be held yet."
Tert ran through the house, exclaiming, "I'm pooping! I'm freaking out!"
We recently enjoyed a birthday party at the lake with some friends from church. When we told Tert who would be at the lake, he became confused, wondering how all of these people from church would be showing up there. He turned to me and asked if the Holy Spirit would be there as well.
When I ask Tert to tell me who he had fun playing with after church, he answers, "Maybe God??"
