What'd He Say??

Litte GW, as we often call him, is.......well, let's just say that he marches to the beat of his own drum. He says some of the craziest things and picks up a LOT of what I say and then tries to use it later. So, in an effort not to forget this 10 years from now, I decided to compile a small list of random quotes and some examples of his newest thing: word misusage (my favorite). Mind you, these are only from the last week. A true list would be too long for this blog post. Here goes. " Mommy, you can't EVEN stop the Grant. You just can't do it." spoken shortly after a small squabble between us involving the backseat car window. I love how he used 'the' to make himself superhero-like.

"Mommy, you're not the king of God". While I appreciate the newsflash, this was in a random moment of quietness. I'm not sure what I had been doing to indicate that I did, in fact, believe that I had become God's king...

"I don't EVEN appreciate ANY of my toys that I have!" While this very well may be a true statement, it was spoken in a moment of haste and anger at the fact that we had left Academy Sports with no worthy toy for him to replace the toys at home that he apparently doesn't LIKE. LIKE being the word that he should have chosen.

"I didn't EVEN want to leave daddy's game. That makes me so nervous!" The correct word here would have been mad, upset, angry, sad..........take your pick. I'm sure he did correctly become nervous after I threatened him bodily harm if he didn't cut out the whining and such.

" I am so jealous of Rhett. He won't stop following me!" Maybe "sick and tired", or aggravated, but at this point in his life there is really nothing to be jealous about. He blatently admitted to me on this day that he had no idea what jealous even meant. It was then that I advised him that in the future he should probably abstain from using words to which he doesn't know the meaning. Tune in next week for an incorrect sentence using the word "abstain".

There. That is just a small sampling of the things I hear each day. It's a wonder I can even take it all in.
