In order to continually update you on funny kid sayings we have made this topic into its own page.
Sept 12, 2010: Jake had taken a turn for the worse and Paul and I were up most of the night with him. We had decided to take him to the vet to be euthanized, and I was crying. Paul had talked to the kids about it and was encouraging them to play with and love on Jake. Tyler was feeding Jake some ice cubes and saw me crying. He said, “Don’t cry, Susan. Jake is still right here!”
Jan 2009: Paul and Tyler ran into Susan’s friend Ruthan at Target. Tyler promptly announces, “My mom is going to have a baby!” Deafening silence complete w awkward crickets trying to fill the void triggered Paul to quickly explain that Robin, Tyler’s mom, was pregnant–not Susan.
1-17-09: Michael Jackson song, “Wanna be Startin’ Something” came on the radio on the way to basketball. Tyler announces: “A black girl song!”
10/2/08: “One thing that Americans do at this time, also, though, is let’s commit ourselves just everyday American people, Joe Six Pack, hockey moms across the nation, I think we need to band together and say never again.” Sarah Palin during the U.S. Vice Presidential debate.
12/23/08: Tyler turned 5 last Friday (the 19th). Saturday we were at his bball game and Paul was shooting around with him, helping him learn to shoot before anything started. It wasn’t long before Tyler said, “I know how to do it! I am 5 now–I don’t need your help!” Paul was banished to the bleachers to sit with me.
12/16/2008: Several years ago when Tyler was about 2 we were driving past the cows on the way to our house, he saw them and said “MMMMMMM– cheese burgers”.
11/12/2008: Stephanie (Paul’s mom) was trying to get Anna to massage her feet. Anna replied, “Granny, I don’t DO old people!”
11/12/2008: Anna is working on things in order–smaller, youngest, newer than this, etc. She is struggling w the fact that I am older than Paul even though he is taller than I am. The other day she was comparing Paul and me and finally got it… sort of. “Susan,” she declared proudly, “is the lowest and the oldest!”
