Sound Bites...

All kids say the funniest things sometimes. And my crazy boys are no exception. (When they're not running around like banshees or bickering, that is.)


So, I think I'm going to start blogging a few of these because:
(a) I think they're funny and worth a share/smile
and
(b) I don't want to forget them ♥


So here are a few conversational "gems"....

While having a silly conversation last summer about why I am not a man, Holden made the following thorough (and somewhat ego-hurting) list. I am not a man because...
I have girl hair
I don't lift
I'm not strong
I don't mow the yard
I don't play with tools
I don't chop down a tree and yell "Timber!" (to which I busted out in Ke$ha's Timber song... possibly furthering his point)
Man's don't drink out of wine glasses
Man's don't lay in the sun, they walk around
I don't cook meat on the grill
Man's do not wear dresses




While sitting in the car, just about to go in to the grocery store --
Graham: Mommy. You the boss.... Are you the boss?
Me: Yep. I'm the boss.
Graham: Yea. You the boss.... and Mimi's the boss.
Me: I'm the boss and Mimi's the boss, huh?
Graham: Yea. Growed ups are ohsways the boss. So you and Mimi are the boss... and that's it.

(Haha. Sorry, Dadddy ;) )



In the car again. Just about to go into the post office --
Graham: Are you gonna be a teacher when you grow up?
Me: Am I going to be a teacher when I grow up? Well.. I'm your Sunday School teacher....
Graham: Well then who's gonna be my mom?



While playing Hide & Seek once night, Holden kept running right in before they had enough time to really hide --
Holden: I found you! I found you! I found you!
Me: You're not giving them enough time to hide, Holden.
Holden: I'm not? Well I'm doing the best I can.



After being told to go clean their room better, Holden came back down the stairs and leaned out the door and yelled --
Holden: Daddy! We gave it a better effort! Even though I don't know what that means!
