The birds and the bees revisited…
The comic from B.C. this morning made me laugh, and reminded me of this conversation with Noah that seems like it was forever ago; http://mikeward.com/the-birds-and-the-bees/ Enjoy both 🙂
Kids Say v27.0
I have been a little lax recording some Kids Say and have a few to share:
Noah, in an effort to explain his sister’s poor chore habits said, “Maybe by the time Hannah is my age she will have a little motivation, because I have a little bit.” At least he is honest 😉
Hannah, on seeing a Bolivian restaurant asked my wife why anyone would want to eat there because they would have to throw up afterward… just think about it for a moment.
Finally, this evening. Hannah was insulted and fairly verbal when she read the motivational comment on the inside for her Jones Soda cap, because it called her ‘useless’. She read it again and we all, including Hannah laughed, see below:
Grandma’s Say
We have had a previous installment of Grandma’s say, but this was from the other Grandma.
As we sat down to breakfast, she was telling of a ‘lovely performance she had attended put on by the Norman Tabernacle Choir.
I am beginning to see where Hannah gets it.
Kids Say v25.0
On Friday I saw a friend who mentioned he was going overseas to teach English and bring them Jesus . The kids and I were chatting after the fact and Noah said “I thought that was ‘cool’ until I found out that it was about Jesus and then I thought it was ‘really cool. ‘”
Hannah added “it would be cool to teach English in a different country. I want to go to Australia.” Oh Hannah. 😉
Kids Say, v.24.0
Noah is into Facebook, maybe a little too much, but he is doing well in school, wrestles, still plays his guitar and drums, so who am I to complain.
Anyway, last night he posted “Like this for a ‘first impression.'”, so I liked it. His reply:
“First impression: AHHHH WHYS IT SO BRIGHT?!?! AGHH THAT GUYS GIANT WAHHHHH.”
That kid cracks me up. Love you buddy.
Kids Say, v.23.0
Sunday morning, Hannah is watching ‘The Parent Trap’, the one with Lindsay Lohan. Noah is eating but can see the TV from the kitchen. I am in my office, trying to get some freelance work done, when from the other room I hear Noah say; “I know she got all drunk, and addicted to drugs and everything, but I want to know what happened to the other girl in this movie. I never hear anything about her.”
I had to stop working I was laughing so hard, and I went and gave him a hug. I love his twisted view of life.
Kids Say, v.22.0
We really don’t have time to go into the whole story because some times, when SOMEBODY tells a story, he can get a little long winded, especially after caffeine. So, I am going to present these two Noahisms, which I thought were quote-worthy simply on their own merit without the back-story.
“My English teacher is OK, but he talks the entire class time.”
“It’s is a good Christian song, it pumps me up, it makes me want to smash things.”
Yup, he said those.
Kids Say, v.21.0
We were out at a wing place for dinner the other night and the Reds game was on many of the TVs around the establishment. They were playing the Cardinals and Albert Pujols came up to bat.
I leaned over to Hannah and said, “see that guy honey, his name is spelled P-U-J-O-L-S but it is pronounced ‘poo holes’.” Without hesitation she said, “stinks to be him.”
I laughed and she threw me a puzzled look. I looked back and said, “poo holes – stinks.” She started laughing.
That child does not realize how funny she is.
Kids Say, v.20.0
Noah’s turn….
Driving home from Hannah’s dance class today, we passed a car with one of those school sports stickers on the rear window, it was Panthers, or some other feline mascot. Noah commented that a lot of the schools have cat mascots and went on to list them, ‘Panthers, Wildcats, Cougars….’ but he stopped after that last one and added, ‘but those are usually the teachers’.
That’s my boy…. and yes, it scares me a little too 😉
Kids Say, v.19.0
Its been kinda quiet on the Kids Say front but over the past week, Hannah has blessed us with a few.
While away at Natural Bridge, KY last weekend we stopped at a small rest area in the park to throw away some trash. They had these trash cans designed to be operated by humans with an enclosed latch that needed to be pressed to open the lid. Hannah couldn’t get it open so I showed her the instruction that said ‘Press latch to open.’ I told her it was designed that way so the animals couldn’t get into the can to which she replied, “yeah, and the animals can’t read so they won’t know how to open it.”
Later that same day we stopped at a nice little inn for lunch. Great food, well presented with parsley as a garnish. At the end of the meal, while I was paying the bill Hannah came up and said, “Grandpa Great put his paisley in his Pepsi.” I looked at her kind of strange so she said, “well Noah did it first.” I started laughing as I told her “I think you mean parsley, not paisley.” She got mad at me for laughing, again.
And I just found out about this one tonight and I LOL’d, and yes, she got mad. While her and the wife were at the grocery store Hannah saw Shawn White, Olympic snowboarder on the front of a very famous cereal box. She told my wife he was on the Whities box. Lets just hope the NAACP doesn’t find out. 😉
Wondering about the Frankenstein pic?
