Funny Things I Have Done or Said Lately

Mom told me to go get in my pajamas.  I was pretty distracted, so the 5th time she asked me she said, "Nathan, if I see your little bum one more time without pajamas on, I am going to spank it."  So I ran out of the room, but then ran right back in and turned and shook my bum at her.

-

I was heading to my room, but not watching where I was going so I face planted into the wall.  I cried and cried.  Mom comforted me, and then sent me on my original task.  I still was crying a little bit when I was walking away.  I noticed Mom was watching me so I pretended to run into the wall again, and busted up laughing.

-

Lately when I eat an apple I get the seeds out and make Dad help me plant them in the back.

-

Every morning I climb into bed with Mom and snuggle with her.  Well one day she had bad morning breath, so I went and got her toothbrush,  climbed back into bed, and brushed her teeth.

-
 We went on  hike at Pickett's Mill Battlefield.  There were trails made by Eagle Scouts.  I asked what the sign said and Dad told me that an Eagle Scout made this trail.  "Does that mean this trail is for birds?"

-

I am pretty excited for the baby.  I like to talk to her.  However, I think I have to open Mom's mouth and talk into it to talk to her.

-

Mom said I was in charge of teaching the baby her body parts when she gets bigger.  I got a big grin on my face and pointed to my eyes and said, "Baby, these are elbows."  I am going to teach her wrong.

-

"What's the Spanish word for burrito?"

-

I have a can that I save my money in now.  I wanted to buy a toy.  Mom said I could earn money by setting the table.  I told her no thanks.  I would rather just walk around and find money.  (Because that is what I do.  Don't leave any spare change laying around, or I put it in my can.)

-

Dad and I go swimming almost everyday.  Well Dad got a sunburn because he didn't put on sunscreen.  I lectured him for a good five minutes.  "Dad you made a bad choice.  You need to listen to Mom and put sunscreen on.  That is a good choice.  Promise me Dad you will make better choices.  Promise me."

-

I learned about keeping the Sabbath Day holy at church.  When the next door neighbor and his dad came over on Sunday and asked me if I could go swimming (it was Sunday), I gave them a lecture about how we don't go swimming on Sunday.  Sunday is special.

-
 My goal in life is to go on a spaceship.  Mom said I have to be really smart to go on a spaceship and go to college.  "Did Dad get to go on a spaceship after he went to college?"

-
Once again the spaceship conversation came up.  "I can go on a spaceship now because I am a genius."  Mom asked me if I knew what a genius was.  "Mom, it means I know everything."
