I tend to write down funny things people say. Often times the humor in them is the idea of what they said being out of context. But other times it is just plain funny. My kids are often the source of the Quote Notes I keep on my phone. I may have mentioned some of these in previous blogs, but I think it’s time to put some out there all in one post:
Me: How was school?
Drew: Good. I mean bad. First I fell off the swing at lunch. Then I was bleeding at nap. And I’m bleeding now.
Will: Is there really a sub atomic universe in every part of our body?
Drew: For some reason I forget things very quickly.
Drew: This festival only has porty parties.
Me: I’ve got two sweet boys.
Drew: Just like you wanted.
Drew: I saw an ant carrying a dead ant to the graveyard.
Will: I’m bringing the Live Girl in to Einstein’s.
Drew: And I’m bringing the Buddha.
Will: I wanted to cross breed but we don’t have enough coins.
Me (noticing Will spacing out – this was in June): How are you doing?
Will: Good. I thought of a great trap for leprechaun day. St. Patrick’s Day.
Me: Are you walking funny cuz your bottom hurts?
Drew: Yeah, it happens a lot.
Will: One time at micro science camp…
Will: Are you really going to cut off my head if I drop your MacBook?
Me: Yes.
Will: Are you going to do the Stairs of Terror or the Hallway of Horrors?
Will: Grandpa is 100% Bohemian. Daddy is 50% Bohemian. And I am 25% Bohemian.
Drew: And I’m 100% Jedi!
Will: I love you.
Me: I love you more.
Will: I love you most.
Me: I love you.
Drew: Ok
I have accomplished a lot of great things in my life. But nothing has come close to what I’ve got with my two little angels. And who knew they would be such great actors. Here they are being (insert air quotes) injured.
"I love you."
ReplyDelete"Ok."
That what slayed me the most.
Blame the air quotes thing on Disney Channel. It's totally their fault. Some show did it a few weeks ago and now the princess air quotes every.thing.
ReplyDeleteYour boys sound like the sweetest things, you must be doing something right!
Awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou're so smart to be writing those things down! they need to be remembered!
ReplyDeleteYou're so smart to be writing those things down! they need to be remembered!
ReplyDeleteI think Drew and Will need their own quote book. They're the cutest!
ReplyDeleteThe darlings - and you equip them for fishing, what a great father!
ReplyDeleteI have to rely on my 4-year old nephew for good quotes - he finds my house somewhat gothic and told me that he felt my stairs went up too high ...
@mandy: Me too.
ReplyDelete@randomgirl: I think you are right again. I asked Will where the fuck he learned that. Okay, I didn't use the ef word, but I wanted to. He said TV. I immediately instituted the no screens rule for the rest of the evening.
@amelia: You must be referring to my natural odor, aren't you?
@eva: I'm smarter than I look.
@mel: They both have journals. Drew lost his on day two. Will drew pictures in his for a couple days and then copied over a dragon alphabet translation chart and I haven't seen his book since.
@lulu: You can take them out salmon hunting next time.
@lulu: Forgot to mention you obviously need to teach them how to wear the fishing gear properly.
ReplyDelete100 percent Jedi.
ReplyDeleteCan he come play Zelda with me? 'Cause that would be awesome.
This post is hands down, without a doubt, the BEST thing I have read all day. It made me smile, giggle and laugh through my nose so hard I snotted on myself. Just a little.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loathe snot.
I am with Randy Girl, I think the air quotes is a TV thing..as they have sprouted up here too.
ReplyDeleteFrom sarcastic parents come sarcastic kids. I'd be pissed at them, if I wasn't so impressed.
"I love you"
"yeah...Do you like my horse pajamas?"

Good stuff. Makes your heart burst.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that they are lucky to have you but I feel like you know how lucky you are to have them.
Word verify is - flopu
Your boys definitely rock. Even when using air quotes.
ReplyDelete@sarahp: Sure. Can you take him tomorrow night?
ReplyDelete@vapidvixen: If I laugh at you, will you say its snot funny?
@onion: If I didn't need a babysitter now and then, I'd get rid of that damn TV!
@momo: You are lucky to know me.
@blissed: First one to use air quotes and still have my respect!
LMAO at "OK." Because I tell my son I love him, I get "I love you too Mommyyyyy!"
ReplyDeleteI tell my daughter I love her, I get....
*crickets*
I spend half my work day editing out air quotes, but if they were written by a couple towheaded cuties like your boys, I'd probably forgive them. Once.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Drew's already practicing for dating, isn't he.
And that's before they get to teenagehood (laughing)?
ReplyDeleteI've just replayed video's of my brood at that age, it's beyond me how we survived..
Overheard over the fence from the two neighbor boys playing in their yard: One says to the other, "... the longer you take to get up, the harder I'm gonna hit you."
ReplyDeleteThough one time my son was in the car with me and admonished me for driving "erotically".
I remember my girls saying to the "I love you" comment, "I KNOW already."
ReplyDeleteLOL @ 100% Jedi, maybe he'll balance the force!
