Out of the Mouths of Babes

The Following are all excerts of conversations with the Boy this past weekend.

Boy: Excuse me . . . Excuse me . . . Ummm, Excuse me ma'am. I would like to order my food now please.
Waitress: *blink*
Boy: Thank you. I will have french toast sticks and grapes. Oh, and sprite. Thank you. . . . That's all!
Waitress: *blink*

* * * * *

Boy: *hopping around comically . . .* Look Out! Look Out! It's a "STINGLEBEE" He is coming to get me!
Me: *blink* A stinglebee?
Boy: Points at very large bumblebee . . .
Me: Oh! A Bumblebee!
Boy: Whatever, it stings don't it?

* * * * *

Boy: *singing* "I've got the whole world in my hands . . . "
Me: No, baby, that song is about God - God has the whole world in his hands.
Boy: *shrugs shoulders* God can share.

* * * * *

Boy: *in his sleep* "I'll take a hot dog . . . with mustard!"
Me: *laughing hysterically*

* * * * *

Boy: Mama! Can we have a fire tonight? (outside)
Me: No.
Boy: Please?
Me: No.
Boy: Then can we set off fireworks? We have a lot!
Me: No.
Boy: Fine! I'm going to bed then! *wherein he promptly curled up on a lawnchair and . . . went to sleep!*

It has been a fun weekend . . . How was yours?

What a sweetheart! Love the hot dog order in his sleep!
I know you're treasuring this time, it's so evident in the way you write about the Boy... :)

Too cute!

And I hope you learned your lesson! Deny the firebug his flames and sparklies? How dare you! Won't you feel bad if he puts himself to sleep every night! (smirk)

OMG - ROFLMAO... Love that hot dog order. I'm pretty sure my son has done something like that too.

Such a boy you've got. I love his wit, already!

I wish Clone would go to bed that easy. Usually he argues the finer point of why we should have a fire and fireworks.
