I See That Twinkle in Your Eye!

So, I was telling my son that maybe we'd go "someplace new" next weekend (I'm thinking of the Science Museum) then go to "my friend's house so I can cook and [he] can play with her kids".

He says "What are their names?"

I say "You know my friend 'Ms. C' I talk to on the phone? She has two daughters." And I told him their names.

I have to tell you - his little face lit up and he this little smirk on his face! I started laughing and said "I see that twinkle in your eye!"

He says "What twinkle?"

I replied "You got all smiley, you little flirt! You like to flirt with girls?"

He says "Yeah, I just like to play with girls."

He's only 4½ - If this is a sign of things to come, we're in big trouble!!

Snacktime?

My son ate a pretty good dinner - an entire manicotti, including the spinach, which is awesome for him. He barely gets out of the chair and asks for a snack. We tell him "Later".

About 10 minutes later he says "Can I have a snack now? [My dinner is] down in my legs!"

African Animals

We were watching “Equator: Challenge of Change” on the Science Channel. My son and husband both like to watch the animals – especially lions, “giraffeses”, and “ephalents”!

There were several amusing comments that my son made during the program. Here are some of them!

A cheetah was chasing a gazelle. After the narrator commented about the cheetah, my son exclaims, “Did he say ‘Cheet-ohs’?!?!”

A hunting party of lionesses chased down a wildebeest. While they were enjoying the spoils of their hunt, my son says, “That looks like chicken! Bloody chicken!”

After the kill, the male lion marked his territory around the perimeter. I was afraid when “He’s got the biggest [unintelligible]” was mumbled by my son. After asking him for clarification, he says “He’s got the biggest roar!”

Then, this morning he was rubbing his face and said "I have rocks in my eyes! They're like little baby rocks!" Guess the Sandman left him ROCKS! LOL!

Cute Little Dog

We pulled into a parking spot at Food Lion.

My son looks over at the car parked 2 spots over and exclaims "Look at the cute little dog!"

I look over and say "Where?"

He replies "Never mind. It was just a people's hair!"

I look back over and there are 2 ladies with big, blonde, 80's hair!

Utility Pirates?

On our way to Food Lion this morning, we passed several utility workers using post-hole diggers and a back-hoe to dig up a hole for the new street lights they are installing in our neighborhood.

My son exclaims "Those guys were at my school yesterday!"

I replied, "Oh yeah? What are they doing?"

He responds "Digging for treasure!"
