A friend of mine is very good at keeping track of funny things that her kids say. So, I have recently been trying to do the same. I thought I would share some of them.
EMMA:
We were on a walk and out of the blue Emma said "Mom, what if you had like 10,000 children?" I said, "well, think of Heavenly Father and Mother, they have all the children in the world." Emma then said "ya, and they are growing up and learning to drive." I thought that was pretty random!
I started making a list for Emma to accomplish all of her morning tasks and get ready for school on time. She is religious to it and checks off everything one by one. She was busily working on her list when she ran out into the kitchen and said "Mom, can you please add GO TO THE BATHROOM on the list, cause I really need to go!"
Don got breakfast for the kids the other day and poured Emma a big bowl of cereal. She was eating it and stopped and told him she was full and didn't think she could eat anymore. He told her to just keep eating so she did and finished it. She looked at Don and said "Dad, bless your heart, you were right! I finished it all."
The kids were playing and sweating and Emma looked at Ben and said "do you know that boys sweat, but girls just sparkle."
In FHE, Don held up a picture of the Jesus healing the 10 lepers and asked Emma if she knew this story. She said "Well, there were these ten leprachauns . . . "
BEN
This kid is full of them! He really keeps us laughing!
One day on the way to the gym in the car, Ben was playing with a sword he had gotten for Christmas. He said "Mom, did one of Santa's elves paint my sword red?"
Ben would watch star wars everyday if I let him. In one scene, there are a ton of bad storm troopers and so Ben stood up and said "Bad storm troopers. . . REPENT!"
Ben has been burping a lot lately (he thinks it is really cool.) He let out a really big one in the car and said "THANK YOU MOUTH!"
Erick got hurt and Ben went up and gave him a kiss and a hug. I praised him. The next morning, it was just Ben and I in the kitchen and I reminded him how much I appreciated him being so nice to Erick the night before. He said "does that mean I won't go to the bad place now?" I asked him what bad place. He said, "you know, the one you go to if you are bad after you die?" I said, "oh you mean spirit prison?" "Ya, he said, if I am nice, I won't go there, I am going to give Erick a hug and a kiss everyday!"
ERICK
Well, Erick isn't talking a ton yet, but he wears his emotions on his sleeve and has done a few really funny things lately.
Emma and Ben call each other "meanie" sometimes. So when Erick gets really mad at one of the kids he says "mimi."
I was doing something with the blender in the kitchen while Erick was eating lunch. It was loud and he put his hands on his cheeks and just shook his head and said in his humming way "loud" or "hmmm". The hands on cheeks was him plugging his ears, only apparently he doesn't know how to plug his ears.
In sacrament meeting last week, Erick was digging in my daiper bag and found one of Ben's star wars figurines. He started humming really loud the star wars theme. It was perfectly on pitch and quite loud. He went on for about 3 minutes and wouldn't stop.
We were eating McDonalds and Emma got a chicken nugget for Erick and dipped it in sauce and gave it to Erick. He ate it and waited for a minute then looked at Emma with a smile and said "mmmm Emma!"
These kids keep us laughing! It is so fun watching them grow and seeing their personalities blossom. One other thing I will mention is that all the kids just love Camille. They dote on her, we all do! She loves them too, she is always laughing and trying to keep up with them.
A) This is Lucky the Lion chilling out next to his best friend Ben. Notice the cool look on Lucky's face. Do you dare confront him? Also notice the appropriate amount of space between these two friends.
