Direct Quotes

Driving home from Costco at posted speed (55MPH)

B: "Hey Mom!"

Me: "Mmmm?"

B: "Honk at that guy!"

Me: "Why?"

B: "Because he's driving too slow!"

Apparently the 2 years he spent with me in the DC area has stuck with him. My little aggressive backseat driver.

Conversation at Costco.

B: "Mom, when will my 5 birthday be?"

Me: "Eleven months."

B: "Eleven months?!

Me: "You just turned four, don't be in such a hurry."

B: "When will Christmas be again?"

Me: "Nine months."

B: "Well, Mom. When will Keegen be two?"

Me: "One month. He has his second birthday next month."

B, exclaiming: "One month?! Like one month?! One month isn't forever like everything else is forever!"

Remember when that one whole month till Christmas was, like, forever??!

Conversation between B and Z regarding Z's impending move to Utah which B knows nothing about

Z: "Bode, when our house gets old, we're moving to Utah!"

B: "Oh! Ya! We are too!" (Uh, no. Not in any potentially foreseeable future. Z is his bestest friend so he of course would want to be anywhere he is going).

Oy. (Did you catch the "gets old?" Gets SOLD). Funny kids.

I hope your house doesn't get old anytime soon. :0) Love to hear about the conversations with Bode. They are so fun! I'm sorry to hear his bestest friend is moving :0( I have a good book for that. I'll try to remember to bring it with me to Utah.
