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.

More funny quotes from the boys...

Christmas Day...
Even at 3:30am (and with a fever) Benjamin is still our funny little guy:
Ben: Mom?
Me: Yes?
Ben: I didn't see any coal for Jack.

(upon opening his rolls of tape from Santa)
Ben: Mom! Dreams DO come true!

Also...
Ben: I'm very impressed with this Christmas!

Ben: (holding a piece of tape) Mom, this is in case your arm falls off. If your arm falls off, just tape it back on.

Festivities and Funnies

Ben: Mom, where's my gift?
Me: What gift?
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



Ben: Mom, the sun is my friend and I DO NOT want him to ever die.
Me: Why would the sun die?
Ben: No honey, I'm talking about I DON'T want him to die.

While explaining to Ben what the warning picture was on the bottom of the blinds:

Ben: What happens when blinds fall on you? Does your brain fall out?
