Jan. 15, 2009 - The "Mystery Toe"
Kids really do say the funniest things. I so want to remember all the boys' funny sayings. I've written some down, but too often, I forget. But this time, I've got this blog to help me remember.
It's so funny to realize what little children really hear sometimes. My four year old, Matt, was riding his tricycle and singing around the house yesterday, and I didn't really pay much attention. However, he had sung it so much during the day, I finally tuned in to what he was saying.
He was singing a Christmas song. It was the one that goes, "Yo, Ho, the mistletoe, hung where you can see..." I don't know the name of this song, but anyway, Matt's version went like this: "Yo, Ho, the mystery toe, hung where you can see..." After recovering from laughter, I just thought, "What in the world did he think this had to do with Christmas?" Seems more like Halloween to me : )
You can bet the older boys & I just cracked up for the rest of the day about Matt's song. I'm so glad that I didn't miss this moment. I'm so glad we are home together, because all too soon, I won't be waking up to my 3 most favorite faces in the whole world. And nobody is going to be serenading me throughout the day with a song about a "Mystery Toe".
