Oh the Things They Say…(And do…)

I’ve been trying to keep a running list of the funny things they say. These are the ones I wrote down in the last couple months (I wish I wrote/remembered more!)

• My mom was trying to explain to the boys that she forgot to bring her “Grandma book” to read. She told them, “Sorry, I choked.” Sam looked at her alarmed and asked, “You choked it?”
• Seth and Sam saw a big motorcycle in Costco and told me that they were going to buy it. When I asked them how much they thought it cost, they said, “Five moneys.” I tried to example to them that it was thousand of dollars—tough concept for 3 year olds! Fast forward a couple days: Seth and Sam were given $10 by their Great Grandma Morris for a birthday gift. We told them that we would all go to Fred Meyer together so they could pick something out. Sam said very seriously, “I get a motorcycle with my $10.” After much laughter on my part, I tried explaining to him that a) he was too small to ride a motorcycle, and b) he didn’t have enough money for a real motorcycle. Sam’s reply to when he’d get a motorcycle, “Yah, when I have a big bottom.”
• Sammy: “Jig, jig, jig. I’m using my jigsaw.”
• Seth was trying to change into his basketball jersey from his superman shirt later in the day. I told him to go put his superman shirt back on, because it was not dirty, and it’s not fair for mama to have to do lots of laundry (I’m trying to work on cutting down on outfit changes during the day). His reply, “But I have a basketball game.” My reply, “You can play basketball in a shirt, you know. Put your superman shirt back on.” “But mama, I’m not superman right now.”
• Seth is petrified of automatic flushing toilets. He had a huge freak out in the hospital as we were visiting cousin Alicia and her new baby Titus. As I was explaining to Alicia his fear, I heard Seth saying, “Yah, and then I go down the hole…” So we have now made it clear that he would not fit down the toilet hole.
• Seth: “Jesus is always our Saviors.”
• Seth: “I’m going to sit down to do this…my knee is hurting me.” (my knee has been on the fritz recently). Sam asks, “How did you hurt it?” Seth’s reply, “Ah…it’s a little sore from playin’ soccer.”
• Sam: “Boys don’t wear capri’s, only mans do.” (sorry buddy, you won’t wear them as a man either!)
• Signature word: “Last day.” May refer to yesterday, a couple days ago, a couple months ago, or even last year. General “in the past.”

And the things they do:

Sam came out wearing his new “motorcycle helmet” the other day. Since then, it’s been their hat of choice. Man, I’m gonna have some good Senior slideshow blackmail pictures of them! (Sam’s in gray jersey).
