Return to the Top Tens

Back by popular demand. . . I've had at least--ahem--one whole person request another top ten. So here's to you, Erin. Hope it gives you a good break from studying. Good luck on finals. FYI, I'm catching up from the last few months, so it'll be a top five for each month. It would be way, way too much to think of doing more than that. (And it'll take a day or two to do them all).

So without further ado . . . Top Five things seen and heard in the Bradshaw house--January 2008

5—Lucy: I like Gpa Ron because he’s good making things on the oven—you know, like breakfast, lunch & dinner. And you know, he also makes it fun.

4- Isaac: Mom, what you makin’?
Me: I’m making grilled cheese sandwiches.
Isaac: Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh! I wanted boy cheese, not girled cheese!

3- I suspected Zach would watch just about anything on tv (except perhaps Jane Austen). I was proven correct when I found him in front of his 50 inch plasma watching play by play of the Iowa caucus. (Open nostril, insert finger.) I have never seen anything more boring. I asked him if he was ready for bed. His response, “I’ll be up in a minute. I want to see how this turns out.” Yeah, what a nail biter. **NOTE TO THE PUBLIC**I’ve since found that there are many (or at least one other person on the planet) who enjoy watching the Iowa caucus results. I really feel, however, that if you can enjoy this, a little Jane Austen isn’t going to kill you.

2- Kye loves to talk about going on a mission. I knew I had a little explaining to do when I heard, "I can’t wait until I’m a missionary. When I’m that, will I pass the bread and water to myself?" Rest assured, he now knows the difference between a deacon and a missionary.

1- After hearing Adam coo at me, Lucy observed, “He’s growing to like you as much as he likes me, mom!”
