Funny Things They Say

 I had to add the annual collection of funny things the kids say and do.

Abby

Me: Do you want a boyfriend someday?
Abby: Yeah, I guess I would like a boy to play with me, be nice to me and not hit me.
Me: Well I guess you have pretty high standards.

We were riding in the car one day and this is the converasation we had.
Abby: I REALLY want a baby!
Me: You mean you want another baby in our family?
Abby: NO I WANT A BABY!!! But you said I have to finish preschool before I could have a baby.
Me: I said you had to finish all your school not just preschool.

At church one morning as the offering basket was going around, Abby was digging in my purse trying to find something. I looked down to see what she was doing and she had dug out my Visa card. She was very sad when I told her that she couldn't put the Visa in the offering basket. I guess to her that is what money looks like.

Anytime she shows Robb something new that we bought at the store, she always adds "It was on Sale". Thats my girl!

Abby: Are we going swimming?
Me: No, why?
Abby: Then how come you put swim screen (sunscreen) on me?


Bryce

Bryce talking to Abby
Bryce: Abby make sure you tell them if you have to go potty at the church nursery.
Abby: Who do I tell?  God?
Bryce: You should probably just tell the nursery worker because God will already know.
It is so funny listening to Bryce and Caleb explain stuff to her!

Me talking to Bryce about Robb's work trip
Me: Dad had to take a cab last night when he got there.
Bryce: Where did he leave it when he got to the hotel then?
Me: Oh, you probably don't know what a cab is so I explained it.
Bryce: I thought you said CALF!
Me: During this entire story you pictured your dad riding on a small cow?
Bryce: Yep because thats what I thought you said.

Bryce: I can't catch the big monarch butterfly because he is the smartest.
Me: Why do you think he is the smartest?
Bryce: Because he is the biggest so of course he has the biggest brain.

Bryce asked me when we were having Mitch and Courtney's wedding. He assumed that since we hosted their graduation party that we would be hosting the wedding as well. No way! The grad party was enough to get ready for.

We were at the store one day and as I payed I typed in my debit pin number and then asked for cash back. When we left Bryce said, "that was so smart! I am always going to ask for cash back. Too funny! If only it was that easy.

After watching a movie that had a tooth fairy in it, you could just see the wheels in Bryce's head turning. He then said, How much money did Grandpa Orville get when he lost all of his teeth? That's a good question.

Caleb

Caleb: It was really hot at recess this afternoon and I almost took my shirt off. Then I remembered that you said that was a rule. So I left my shirt on but it would have been less sweaty if I could have just taken it off.

Caleb explaining Valentines Day
It's a holiday where you buy a girl food so they know you love them. I think he got this explanation from his dad.

Me: How many people were gone out of you class today with lice?
Caleb: All the girls but 2 had to go home.
Me: Ewwww gross!
Caleb: I love it when all the girls get fleas so we can have an almost all boy class.

One night the kids had been playing really quiet and nice in the basement, so I started to wonder what they were up to. I snuck down to the basement to see what they were doing and I about died laughing! Bryce and Caleb were shooting stuffed animals with bow and arrows. Then they would put it in a plastic bag and deliver their catch to Abby who would cook up the animal at her kitchen set. When it was cooked up she would deliver it to the table and serve it with tea. Not sure how normal it is to be playing wild game tea party but it kept them entertained.

On a walk one night Caleb saw an entire garage filled with motorcycles, dirt bikes and ATV's. He said "thats going to be my garage someday".
Robb: I hope not. No motorcycles for you they are too dangerous.
Caleb: I'll just grow up and move out and then I can get a motorcycle.

Caleb: Ben's trailer is REALLY nice!
Me: It is ????
Caleb: Well, its really rusty and old but just having a trailer is really nice.

I yelled at Caleb for coloring all over his legs with chalk. He said "Bryce did it first".
Me: Well if Bryce jumped off a cliff would you jump too???
Caleb: YES! I wouldn't want him to be Hurt and Alone.
That's true brotherly love right there.
