Top Five-March 2008

Just a few days shy of the end of April, I have finished my MARCH top ten. I now consider myself officially caught up. Stay tuned for a regular April Top Ten, coming soon. Enjoy the top five things seen and heard at the homestead (or in the car, where many many fun and amusing things have tickled our funny bones.)

5—Lucy: Mom, Adam is the laughingest boy I’ve ever seen.

4—Kye: (setting up Sorry to play with me)—I’m gonna beat you. Then I’m gonna chomp you up. (thinking) Then I would only have a dad.
Me: Do you only want a dad?
Kye: Kind of, cause then I could play the Wii all the time. And I wish I didn’t have a sister or a little brother either, except a baby brother, because then he could watch me play.
Me: Soooo glad to know you’d miss us, little man.

3—Lucy lost her homework one day, after which followed a desperate but fruitless search. Isaac came running in to save the day, “I know I know! Maybe it blew away and then a giant comed to eat it!”

2—My kids love to draw. Isaac has taken up the pastime and the following conversation ensued: Isaac: I’m drawing a wion. You wike wions, Kye?
Kye: No. They’re scary. They would eat you.
Isaac: Ohhhhhh. I wike wions.
(Incidentally, Isaac has trouble with a few of his sounds, including the letter “V,” which he always pronounces, “B.” After watching “The Letter Factory” one day, he said, “Mom, come listen to my bowel sounds!” No thanks, Zeeky. No thanks.)

1—Props to Lucy’s friend Ethan for providing our #1 this month. While driving to school one day, Ethan informed us, “My grandma works at the hospital, helping people when their babies get hatched.” (His mom later told me that although Ethan’s grandma IS indeed a nurse, she neither helps with labor and delivery NOR works in the hospital.) Man, I love that kid.
