Trevor: “I drank the juice out of my gum, but I won’t
swallow it down into my skeleton.”
Darby: (said about my friend Claudia after she left our
home) “Mom, why do you call her Claudia? That is an uglish name and it has ugly
parts to it.”
Trevor: I told Trevor to always stay my baby and never grow
up, to which he replied, “I have to or I won’t ever marry and my wife won’t
like it.”
Trevor: While at a family party, his favorite aunt came in
her new security guard uniform and Trevor avoided her all night. When I told
her that he shouldn’t ignore his favorite aunt, he said, “She’s not my favorite
aunt anymore; she is a policeman now and we’d better watch out!”
Ben: I was reading Ben a story about a boy named Ben who
gets bullied by a boy named Steve. Ben pointed to the name Ben in the book and
said, “Is that me?” to which I replied yes. He said, disappointedly, “Oh, dang
it, I wanted to be the mean one.”
Davin: I went on a walk with Davin and the baby, but Davin
wanted to be carried. I kept telling him that I couldn’t carry him and push the
stroller, to which he finally said, “OK! Then I will carry myself!”
Rebecca: When the boys were taking their time getting
dressed, just waltzing in their underwear, I said, “Maybe you can wear just
your underwear to church and start a fad.” Rebecca, hearing this, said, “I got
my underwear on and I am NOT fat!”
Emily (me): “These are board books- when you are bored, you
have to look at them.”
Spencer: “My friend had a cool show-and-tell today. His dad
works at the dump and found a jacket for him! Why doesn’t dad work at the
dump?”
Trevor: I asked Trevor if he wanted a baby sister or a baby
brother and he said “I want a girl, cause we don’t need a boy baby, we already
have Ben and I don’t want to get rid of him- he’s my best friend!”
Trevor: Trevor brought me a doll and said “Turn this into
good.” and I said, “What?”, so he said, “Look at the eyes, they are dumb and also ugly."
I love reading all of these. I've started keeping a journal for my own two babies so that hopefully I can immortalize hilarious things theys say, though at my daughter's present speaking level, the funniest thing she can say now is "Bye-bye" to me whenever her dad gets home- because she wants me to leave, since now that her papa's home, she doesn't need me there. Silly babies.
