I’ve gotten so out of the habit of writing down things the boys say; but they’re still making me laugh almost every day. \u00a0The other day I grabbed a pen after Adam looked at Zara and said, “She’s pretty much a miniature human with an almost developed brain.” \ud83d\ude42 For real. \u00a0And then I discovered this ooooooold post in my drafts folder and figured better late than never. \u00a0So enjoy a few golden oldies.<\/p>\n

Adam was talking about radiation and the harmful effects it can have while we were fixing lunch. \u00a0I was microwaving leftovers when he got himself a drink and said, “I get really thirsty when I eat radiated food.”<\/p>\n

******************<\/p>\n

The boys had been studying parasites in Science toward the end of their school year. \u00a0About the same time Durlin and Emily came to visit and I got to take six month pictures of their darling, pudgy baby girl. \u00a0Liam was looking at the pictures of her later and said, “She is the smiliest baby I ever saw. \u00a0Every time you look at her she smiles.” Then he took a look at her chubby legs and said, “She’s so fat she might have that lymphocytic ermich….. whatever it’s called.”<\/p>\n

Liam went downstairs to brush his teeth and get ready for bed when suddenly he came huffing back up the steps. \u00a0“I’m a hound sniffing down my hug and kiss!” \u00a0Seriously? This is when I just want them never to grow up!<\/p>\n

***************<\/p>\n

We were driving into town and Adam was in thoughtful mode. \u00a0Pretty soon he said, “You know, Daddy isn’t quite over the hill, but he’s kind of on the edge. \u00a0[poignant pause] He’s just not very lively and [short pause] sharp anymore.” \u00a0Phew! Glad I’m still a year David’s\u00a0junior. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The boys were eating lunch and Adam was exclaiming over the good cherry tomatoes he’d picked in the garden.<\/p>\n

Liam: “Is there a lucky day?”<\/p>\n

Me: “You mean like on the calendar?”<\/p>\n

Liam: “Yes.”<\/p>\n

Me: “No.”<\/p>\n

Liam: “Shoot. \u00a0I was going to try cherry tomatoes on that day.”<\/p>\n

*************<\/p>\n

We were riding up 29 North in Charlottesville when we came up beside a man on a motorcycle wearing a gopro on his helmet. \u00a0Liam took one look and said, “”Oh, that’s so lucky. \u00a0Then you don’t need a wife and a car.” \u00a0No need for wife paparazzi, huh?<\/p>\n

**************<\/p>\n

We’d been discussing how different people have different strengths. \u00a0One day Liam asked me, “What are you good at?”<\/p>\n

Me: “Oh, the only thing I’m a pro at currently is being a mom to you guys.”<\/p>\n

Liam: “No, you’re pretty good at clearing the dishwasher.”<\/p>\n

Always good to have a vote of confidence somewhere. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
