Funny Phrases!

This will not be anything deep, moving, or even funny to some. However, they are some phrases I've heard around here that crack me up and I don't want to forget.

F-"Please stop that, E. You're getting IN my nerves."

C-"Mom, I'm weally, WEALLY hungry. I can't wait for suppa. I think I need an appetiza."

E-"F, do you like my BEAUTIFUL finger nails? (after we just painted them pink :) ) They're lovely aren't they? My husband will like them someday (very matter factly)." Thank goodness the boys both complimented her---just makes life easier. :)

E- I said no more candy. "OK Mom. (very emphatically) I've got a GWEAT idea! (pointer finger up in the air) We can just eat tons of junk tomorrow instead. That way our teef won't wot out tonight!)

F- "Mom, are we going to have 'bracelets' like Emily and Amy Thorington one day?" The actual word is BRACES!

E-"Heaven will be such a wonderful place! We'll see Jesus, sing songs, and maybe even snuggle up to God. Maybe Timmy would like to snuggle with God, too. He's in heaven you know----he's up there not being sick anymore."

C-"Hold on mom. I forgot to swirggle. I just love swirggling, mom. It makes your mouth taste so fwesh." translate---gargle

E-"I think I'll just save the bike Santa gave me until I get a little older. That way I'll be safe!"

F-"Hold on a second, Mom. I've gotta 'chap' my lips." Santa brought him a tube of chapstick and he frequently slowed down the moving along process to "chap" his lips. (translate "lips" to whole lower face)

NOT so funny----Clark came to me yesterday afternoon and TOTALLY out of the blue(like we hadn't talked about him all day) said--"Mom, I have to tell you something. I think I'm wesponsible for Timmy being dead. I dwopped him, dwopped him on the floor---on accident---when he was only three days old. I made him die, Mom. I just know it." For anyone that knows Clark, you know his hands were waving the whole time he was talking. Pensive. Pitiful. I quickly reassured him that turtles fall off of things all the time and that I was sure that wasn't it. It was more likely that he had a virus before he got here that he brought from California----I mean the North Pole. :)
I am purposing to be more aware of the wheels that are turning/processing when I don't even realize.

By the way, spell check loved this. :)

Conversations I Don't Want to Forget.....

My 3 boys (Matt, F, and C) are totally cracking me up as the three of them are watching the Red Sox/"Ankees" game in our family room. They're cheering, clapping, dancing, high fiving (the Red Sox finally turned it up with 3 homeruns in a row :-) )and TALKING to the TV. (I might add they're now singing b/c the team captain just hit ANOTHER homerun!!!!!)
Foster just said -He just launched it to mars! Just like I do in the backyard!
Also precious opportunity to teach being a good sport---Clark has said "those stinkin' Ankees" many a time, and is now coming around to saying just "Let's go Red Sox" (while doing the FSU Seminole chop the whole time.)

Clark asked me to bring the piano upstairs today so he "could make a little music." Foster decided to be the "conductor" and they were going to have a "wonderful concert." As I'm walking out of the room, I hear Clark say "1, 2, 3...hit it boys!" And he starts banging on the kiddie (very pink Barbie :-) ) piano. Not quite Mozart, but entertaining just the same.

This morning as we were getting ready for church, Clark HAD to go get his Bible to bring to church. Of course Foster had to go get his, too. Clark's is quite large and heavy, but Foster chose the one from his baby dedication so it could fit in his pocket. "Mom, I like to carry God's word with me."
Me-"Why do you think He wrote that to you?"
F-"He wants me to read it and learn all about Him. Actuwally He wants me to write His words on my heart so I can know Him"
Me-speechless but praising My Father in my heart
F-"Hey Mom. I really don't know what God looks like. But one day, he'll come back and I'll see Him face to face. Then I don't have to wonder anymore."
Me-"That's so exciting isn't it!!!! Well, it's not so important right now that we know what He LOOKS like but what how He SOUNDS when He speaks to us."
F-"Right Mom. I do hear Him speak."
Me-with doubt I must admit--"You do? Like when?"
F-"Oh, when the winds blows (yep--wind is plural), the birds sing, you know. " (all of this very matter of factly)
I'm pretty much floating as this point, but return to earth as Foster quickly moves to the next thought and challenges me to a race to the door.

C- Is Elizabeth going to be home tomarwow? I'm really missing my sistewr. I REALLY am missing hewr.
