My son will someday be a writer
From a very young age, Jakie has amused us with the things that he comes up with.  Hope you enjoy them, as well!

This is how language morphs, folks
Monkey was attempting to help Bob prepare a box to ship. As the packing peanuts (the only sort of peanuts he's not allergic to) clung stubbornly to his arms, he determined:

Packing peanuts are foamnetic.

Quick, somebody call Merriam Webster! *Laugh*

Bon appetit!
Today we bought a pretty wrought iron rack for a corner of the master bathroom. It has 4 tiers. As Bob carried it into the house, Monkey asked is that to put cookies on?

If you think I'm serving dessert in THERE you don't know me very well! *Sick*

Power of suggestion?
*grumbling as he walks past me on his way toward the bathroom* Why is it that when I wash my hands I always have the sudden need to pee?

I dunno . . . magic perhaps?

This morning, while getting ready for school: Do these socks look good on me?

They're stunning, little dude. Work the socks!

Getting better at this bribery thing . . .
Bob: What does it take to put you to bed and get you to stay there?

Monkey: Twenty dollars?

Which was really a better answer than mine (duct tape).

Self correcting . . .
After I prepared Monkey's pancake, this morning:

Man, you cut fast. I mean . . . woman, you cut fast!

*Laugh*

Ladies Man
Just got this text from Bob:

Dad, Jake leaned over and whispered. I think I need a new girlfriend.

"Oh? Have someone in mind?"

Yes, her name is Frencesca.



Sure . . . I mean, after all, one simply CANNOT go into the first grade with the same old girlfriend. *Laugh*

Ahhhh bribery . . .
Dhoc-li Llama : Jake, what will it take to get you to be quiet?

Jake: A dollar or two?

*Laugh*

Ah, to be young and modest
After helping me figure out how to get the Cuisinart back into the box:

I may not be strong, but I sure am smart!


*Laugh* Can't contradict that one!

Everyone's a critic!
Monkey to me, after I said something humorous: Are you trying to be funny?

Me: Yes.

Monkey: it's not working.

D'oh!

I had no idea . . .
Monkey was yakking about something in the car this evening. At the end he says . . .

You DO realize that was just sarcasm?

*Rolleyes* Oh yes . . . of COURSE. *Laugh*

Thirsty anyone?
Jake: can I have some milk?
Dad: sure. (then blows nose)
Jake: that's not milk. That's snot!

*Sick* That's snot very appetizing! *Laugh*

Is it a Gaudi?
Driving through the neighborhood this morning:

I just LOVE the way that house is built! With the bridge and then the steps.

Such discriminating taste my young one has. *Laugh*

I'll let you figure this one out . . .
Also on the way to camp, quite randomly, Jakie asked the question:

Why do they call it a HO-tel? What does "ho" mean?

Dude, I just don't even know how to answer that one . . . *Laugh*

It's the little things that mean the most . . .
We were talking on the way to school, and the topic of Greece came up. I mentioned that I'd studied there was I was in college, that I took classes there and that I'd lived in an apartment. His reply:

*gasp* You lived in an APARTMENT!?! Then . . . Grandma Kitten lives in an apartment. Is it the same one?

One day, kiddo . . . one day you'll be able to experience the joys of apartment living. *Laugh*

Stop me if you've heard this one . . .
A few months ago, we were telling knock knock jokes. I told the following:
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Little old lady.
Little old lady who?
I didn't know you could yodel!

Monkey and Goldilocks both got a huge kick out of it. The other day, Jakie improved upon the joke:

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Little old lady who.
Little old lady who who?
I didn't know you were an owl that could yodel!

*Laugh*

What's the deal?
Mom, I think all of the teachers at the JCC are named "Miss" because it's at the front of all of their names. And I think they're all boys . . . I mean GIRLS and they all have Miss as the first part of their names.

How bizarre . . . must be a prerequisite to working there? *shrugs*

*Laugh*

Should I get out the toolbox?
Last night Jakie was complaining that his toes were itching . . . so he pulled off his sock.

The problem IS, the bottoms of my toes are all screwed up and ripped!

I guess collapsing into uncontrollable laughter was PROBABLY not the right response. *Blush*
