1. (Spotting a glimpse of my belly spilling over the waistband of my running shorts): "Mom, are you having another baby?"
(For the record: NO.)
2. (Ruby Jane and LM playing "I Spy"):
Ruby: "I spy something yellow."
LM: "Mom's teeth?"
(Here's me starting to develop a complex....)
3. LM: "Mom, can I sleep with you?"
Me: "No."
LM: "Well, sometimes I come in when you're sleeping. Don't wake up, 'cause I plan on doin' that tonight."
4. (Informing me of a punishment his sister devised for him and why): "I gotta write an essay for Ruby Jane 'cause I called her a maladroit."
(That is odd on so many levels.)
5. (After I discovered the deep rivets he dug with a pencil on the surface of a decorative table in our living room): "Sorry Mom, I took it a little too far."
6. (Proving that hubby and I are doing a bang-up job passing our faith on to LM): "What's the name of that all-powerful man...God?"
Bonus Round: The endearing moral content children pick up on when exposed to Disney movies:
7. (As evidenced by this snippet of a song I overheard him making up while he was playing a solo game of "pirates"): "Yo ho, yo ho, the pirates, ahoy! Yo ho, yo ho, the pirates, we drink, we drink!"
(Lemonade, I hope....)
And, folks, these don't necessarily represent the best of his quips. There have been many times he says something to absolutely crack me up, but if I'm not in a position to immediately jot it down for posterity, I don't include it here. (No use posting what I can't accurately recall.)
So, for those of you with small youngsters...oh, your time is coming! And I can't wait to hear what your kiddos come up with!
