From the Boys...

These are just random things the boys have said this week - never a dull moment.



Jacob: "Momma, you didn't give me enough food today at lunch. I'm so hungry. Can you fix me a sandwich before we eat dinner?"

 ----------------------------

Addison is a girl who was in Jacob's pre-k class and is now in his kindergarten class.  She was also one of the girls Jacob was chasing last week at recess (see blog post from 8/17/13).  Addison's Mom and Dad are both dentists who work in the same office as Jacob's Dentist.   We had to go to the Dentist on Tuesday. Addison's Mom came over to talk to Jacob after his check-up.  As she's walking up, she recognizes him and says to me, "Oh, yes...Jacob!  I thought Addison was talking about Jake, but this is who she tells us is her boyfriend."

-----------------------------

Jacob: "Momma, we had a crazy day in our classroom today...I had to move my Clip into the bucket today."  (Wooden clothespin is placed on the rim of a tin bucket...when the student is corrected, he has to move his clip inside the bucket.  Inside the bucket=bad.)

-----------------------------

Me:  "Jacob, it's time to wake up."
Jacob: "But, Momma, why do you want me to wake up while it's still dark outside?"

-----------------------------

Me: "Joseph, come on...it's time to go Night-Night in the bed."
Joseph: "Nooooo! No want to."

-----------------------------

Me:  "Jacob, are you going to get out of bed this morning?"
Jacob: "I don't think it's possible."
Me:  "Why not?"
Jacob:  "I'm just too sleepy."

-----------------------------

Me:  "Joseph, time to pick up the toys."
Joseph: "Why?"

----------------------------

Jacob: "Momma, why do I have to do homework every time? When can I not do homework any more?"

---------------------------

Jacob: "Momma, this zipper is just too hard to close. Yesterday after lunch, I had to use the bathroom. I couldn't get the zipper closed and I asked a big boy in the bathroom if he could zip up my pants for me. He said he couldn't do his own so he didn't help me either. How am I supposed to do it if that big boy can't even do it?"

--------------------------

Jacob:  "Daddy, do we live in a democracy?"
Greg:  "What does 'democracy' mean?"
Jacob: "It means that Mommy and Daddy aren't in charge."

Here's a video of Joseph who loves to be wrapped up in fresh-from-the-dryer, warm towels.  Oh, and he now likes to be called "Joey."
