Stories from Our Home

A few things that may have been overheard at our house the past few months:

DG: "When all the blue gets covered up...it's nighttime."

VW: "I like to do things that a lot of kids don't like to do...I like to learn!"

DG: After trying out sleeping on the floor, DG came downstairs with this request. "Mom, will you come help me make my bed? [tuck me in] I wanted to see if the floor was snuggly, but it wasn't."

VW: "Banana"

VW: "I drank my whole Gatorade!"
DG: "I drank a cow!"

DG: After singing a song in the car, I asked if was an original or if he had learned it somewhere. "Actually, my brain though we should sing songs. I looked at this paper [art project from school] and just sang...I learned from the trees."

DG/VW: After learning about the death of a friend and his children, the boys reassuredly informed us there were toys in heaven, so it would be okay.

VW: "Quack"

DG: "Can God change your heart?"
Me: "Yes. You can ask God to change your heart."
DG: "VW and I are mean. Let's ask God to change our hearts!" Solemnly, "Dear God, change my heart. Thanks for everything. It is so beautiful! Amen."
Me: "Beautiful prayer DG!"
DG: "Are toots air?"
Me: Bewildered how we change topics so extremely! "Um, yes!"
DG: "Are burps air?"
Me: "Yes, your tummy can get a little gassy with air."
DG: "Toots are funnier!"

VW: "Ippie, chippy, baloney!"

DG: "You're my mom, but whose my real mom?!"

DG: "Daddy took off his beard!"

DG: Asked DG how he knew the answer. Mr. Know-it-alls response "God made me smart!"

VW/DG: Squeals, giggling, and naked dancing/running during beditme routine..."Watch out for Daddy! He pinches naked bunz!" Then they quickly go find Daddy and excitedly exclaim, "Naked bunz, naked bunz!"
