"Maybe on kids day you can give me a present" after talking about who gets presents on Mother's Day.
"Mom, did you know that when you were little you used to play with Jesus everyday?"
I reminded Jack that when he is asleep at night his body will wake him up if he needs to go potty so he needs to listen and walk to the bathroom if he has to go. His response: "My weenie talks to me!?!"
In the car the other day we were talking about Jack's two grandma's and he said "Mom, do you ever think we should measure my two grandma's to see who's bigger?" (which means "taller" to Jack). I'm embarrassed to admit that such a clever idea never even occurred to me.
Jack and Annie snuck the ice cream out of the freezer the other day while Paul and I were outside working on re-staining the deck. He came outside with a sneaky, proud smile on his face and ice cream dripping down his chin. We asked him if he'd been eating the ice cream when he shouldn't have been and he just said with a mischievous laugh "Diss!" Then he thought about it a moment longer and said, totally serious now, "It's not a diss, guys, I was just hungry for it."
Jack's tummy tells him lots of things, not just when he is hungry. His nightly excuse for not going to bed is "My tummy told me it's not tired yet." Same for going home from a friend's house: "My tummy told me it doesn't want to go home yet."
Jack: "Mom, I don't want to go to Benis, it's scary there."
Me: "What? What's Benis?"
Jack: "You know, Benis. It's a planet."
Me: "You mean Venus?"
Jack (totally exasperated at this point): That's what I said...Benis!"
