Funny boys

Monday

When about to leave with Rob to go to Walmart:
Jack: Mommy, will you be okay?
Me: Yes, honey. I'll be fine. =-)
Jack: Well don't fall on your head.
Me: Okay, I'll try not to.

Tuesday

Nutrition 101 with Ben

Me: What would you like for breakfast? Toast, waffles, oatmeal, cream of wheat, granola?
Ben: I would like... a donut, cookies and Cheetos!
Me: We don't have any cookies and donuts and Cheetos are not good for you. If you had those for breakfast you would feel tired and wouldn't be able to think to do your work at school today.
Ben: Okay, I will just have a donut and just a few Cheetos.

Conversations With Jack (Book II in the series)

(Jack climbed in our bed at 2:30 am saying he *heard* a monster biting him)
This morning:
Me: So what was your bad dream about last night?
Jack: Which one?
Me: You had more than one?
Jack: Well my other dream was about you turned into a spider and you ate me!
Me: Oh no! That is a bad dream!
Jack: Mommy, promise you will never turn into a spider.
Me: I promise!
Jack: Alright.


While in the car this morning.
Emma: (crying)
Jack: Emma, you want Mommy?
Emma: Uh UH!!!!!
Jack: You want juice?
Emma: UH UH!!!!!
Jack: You want elbows?
Emma: UH UH!!!!!
Jack: Well, you already have elbows.

Car rides

Had my windows down on the way to pick up Ben (65 and sunny!)
Jack: Mom, that air makes my brain happy!

Bed time!

While putting Jack to bed:
Jack: Mom, there are monsters in here.
Me: There aren't any monsters. Go to sleep.
Jack: But Mom, you have to scare the monsters away.
Me: (Sigh) Okay monsters, even if you're good you have to go out. Jack is scared so go away. There. All the monsters are gone.
Jack: But Mom.
Me: Go to sleep!
Jack: Mom!
Me: What, Jack?
Jack: Those monsters don't have any ears.
Me: (laughing) Well, that's okay. They heard me with their brains.
Jack: Oh.

Even at 3:30am (and with a fever) Benjamin is still our funny little guy:

Festivities and Funnies

Ben: Well it's gift day isn't it?



Ben's dictated letter to Santa:

Dear Santa,

I want to see your house because I don't know what it looks like so I want to at least visit.

I really love you but next time I want to go with you on your sleigh because I really want to know what it looks like and I really like you and I love you so much as a giant.

And for Christmas I want 10 rolls of tape.

Love,

Benjamin

Me: Why would the sun die?
Ben: No honey, I'm talking about I DON'T want him to die.
