Joey: "Mom, I have to tell you something. From now on, I am not going to call you 'mommy' anymore, I'm just going to call you mom. Big boys don't say 'mommy,' they just say 'mom.' Okay?
Joey in his nightly prayers: "Dear God, I'm sorry that I keep thanking you for your whole creation, but I just love your whole creation so much. So, thank you. God, wouldn't it be funny if you tripped and fell down to Earth? I'm just kidding, I just like to joke like that."
Joey: "Dad, did you ever think that you would have a kid who was such a good singer?"
Joey talking about school after one of the first days: "Mom, it's just that I have energy and energy and energy and like 8 times the energy and all they want me to do is rest and sit at my desk. And, I just want to keep using my energy at recess!"
Maddox was over talking to our neighbor, Tracy and he came back and I said, "How was Tracy?" And, he said, "Oh no!!! I forgot to ask Tracy how his day was! I'll be right back." And, then Tracy told me he went back over there, and said, "So, Tracy, how was your day today?"
Joey: "Dad, I just feel so high today."
Joe: "What do you mean?" (I was wondering if weed smoking started early in the catholic schools or what.)
Joey: "You know, I feel soooo high!"
Joe: "I'm sorry, Joey, I dont know what that means."
Joey: "You know, tall, dad! I'm so tall today!"
Breastfeeding has been a big topic of conversation around here.
I was pumping in my room, blanket over me and Joey walks in. He peeks under the blanket so all he could see was the bottles and the milk in the bottles. "That is AMAZING, mom! A-MAZ-ING. Amazing! But, it just comes out in drops, I wish it would just go shhhhhh and spray the milk!" (You and me both, Joey!)
On the second day home from the hospital, I explained that Saylor gets milk from mommy and didn't go into any other details. Maddox later on put his finger into Saylor's mouth and Saylor started sucking on it and he said, "Is this how she gets milk, mom?" I thought he meant does she get milk from sucking like that, so I replied, "Yep!" And, then he yells into the other room, "JOEYYYY! JOEYYY!" and he walked in and Maddox said, "Joey, if you put your finger in her mouth like this, milk will come out of it!"
Joey's teacher told me this one....She was walking around the room giving "Have a Heart" tickets for things and she said to Joey, "Joey, did you remember your beach towel from home?" And, he looked at her and smiled and said, "My mom NEVER forgets anything!"
Joey went on a field trip and I made his lunch. Two days later, we were in the car and this is what he said.
Joey: "Hey mom, when you packed my lunch that day, why didn't you pack me a drink?"
Me: "OH MY GOSH, Joey!! I am so sorry!! I DID forget to pack your drink!!! I'm sooo sorry!"
Joey: "That's okay, mom, my grapes had juice in them so I just ate them!"
Me, laughing: "Well, that's good, I'm sorry, I just totally forgot."
Joey: "Yeah, all my friends were like, 'dude, where's your drink?' and 'why didn't your mom pack your drink?' and I was like, 'I don't know!'"
Joey in church to me: "Mom, can we leave after community is over?" (He meant 'communion')
Joey in church, he looked at me and shook his head "no".
Me: "What?"
Joey: "That is not respectful."
Me: "What?"
Joey: "THIS is not respectful" and he then imitated me rocking back and forth and hanging my hands over the pews as we were kneeling.
Joey: "THIS is respectful" and he then folded his hands neatly and kneeled straight up and down and didn't move.
(Well, alrighty then, Joey! At least we know he's learning something at school, I guess! But, I'm not sure how many times adults get 'warned' by their children!)
Maddox was playing with a semi and he kept calling it a big truck, so I said, "Maddox, do you know what that's called?"
Maddox: "No"
Me: "That's called a semi-trailer."
And, then later, I heard him playing in his room, and his little man said to the other little man, "Hop on my cemetery!"
And, one quote from my nephew:
I was 8 months pregnant and I had the kids all in the car and I had to sit in the backseat because someone else needed the front seat so I got in and Davis, my nephew, looked at me and said, "OH noooo!!! Here comes big chubbins!" Joe and I about died laughing (after I spanked him). ; )
