Geoffrey was working in his math book today. The assignment was to make a story about 5 penguins. The picture showed 2 tall penguins standing with 3 small penguins standing in front of them. The little guys had their wings crossed over their bellies.
Geoffrey's story - "There are two big penguins and three penguins that have to go pee!" At my shocked look he said "What? They are holding themselves! Or maybe they just got hit in the *sweet spot*!" My boy is growing up too fast - sweet spot? sheesh!
We were at IHOP and Geoff was coloring the kids menu. The picture showed a sleeping bear with "ZZZZs" above his head. Geoff asked his dad what the "zzzzs" were for and Andre' told him they were to show the bear was sleeping. Shocked he announced "I don't have 'ZZZZs' coming out of my mouth when I sleep!" So Andre' teasingly asked him how he knows that - since he is sleeping and can't see wht is coming out of his mouth.... poor boy was so befuddled! We did eventually assure him he was correct - it is just in drawings to show the 'action' of sleeping. We love sharing the world with this little guy, he is so much fun!
Preston was repeating a comedians joke that goes like this "... I accidentally put my car key in the front door and my house started up, so I drove it around town. I parked it in the middle of the street and yelled at the other drivers for being in my driveway. I got pulled over by the cops and when he asked where I lived I said, Right here..." Cuyler is so literal - he comments "A car key would not ever start a house." before anyone can reply Geoffrey quips "Well, it will if it is a MOBILE HOME."  |
