Funny things said

Funny things said by my boys....

Leighton first:

I must begin by saying that my first born is SO smart....but he is not always real concerned with the details...and one of my favorite things about him is that he is constantly getting similar words mixed up....below are 2 cases in point......

This story does require a little background. Leighton has always had an issue with remembering to zip up his pants...since, well, forever.....it is just one of those details that he really isn't too concerned with. So we are constantly reminding him to zip up so the cow won't get out of the barn, etc.....well, 2 weekends ago, H and I had a "way back" moment and discussed button fly Levi's....so all weekend long we made reference to "your fly being opened", "zip your fly", etc....well, Monday morning Leighton was getting ready for school in the living room. When I told him to head to his bathroom and brush his teeth, when he stood up....you guessed it....his "fly" was open.....so I said to him "Buddy, look at your pants." To which he replied, "Oh no, my "bird" is open!" I just cracked up....when I told him the word was fly, he said "Oh, yeah, whatever!" (which is what he says to most everything)

Again, this one will require a little background. SEVERAL weeks ago, on a Friday night, our entire family pretty much camped out in our living room and watched about 10 episodes of America'a Funniest Home Videos. We laughed hysterically! Even Logan....anyway, one of the clips was of some guys who had waxed another man's back in a certain shape or in a word or something...whatever it was, it involved removing part of the man's back hair (this one was pretty gross....not too funny to me....) but Leighton thought it was just hilarious....and he has asked about a million questions about it since then....questions like "How did they do that?" "Why did they do that? Just to be funny?" "Do you think it hurt?" "Do you think the man thought it was funny?"....on, and on, and on....anyway, fast forward to last Thursday afternoon...we are on our way to the dentist and Leighton starts talking about it AGAIN. After the usual questions with the usual answers, he says this, "Well, mama, I can tell you this, I won't be putting any goose tape on my hairs." And I am thinking, what? what in the world is goose tape? And then it hit me, so I say "Duct tape, baby...the word is duct tape." Can you guess his reply? "Oh, yeah, whatever!"

Logan second:

(overheard by me as he was "talking" with H)
H: "Logan, don't stand up in that chair. You will fall."
L: "But, daddy, I want to!"
H: "I don't care. You have to do what I say. I am the boss."
L: "Daddy, you not the boss."
H: "Yes I am and if you get up in that chair, I will spank you."
L: "What about if I just do it like this, daddy, just little like this?"
(he had one of his little chairs and at this point he is standing in it but squatting down)
H: "No, Logan, not even like that. Get down."
L: "What about this, daddy, what if I just do this?"
(now he is squatting in the chair with one leg down on the floor)
H: "Logan, I told you I would spank you if you got in that chair."
L: "But, daddy, what if I just do it like this? I don't have to do it big."
(and now we are curled up in a ball in the chair)
H: "Buddy, the best thing for you to do is get out of the chair before you get in trouble."
L: "MAMA!!!!!!!!"

And then there was this:

Mama: "Logan, get in your bed and cover up...it is time to go to bed. I will be back in to check on you in just a few minutes."
L: "Mama, you lay beside me?"
M: "I might in a minute, but I have go and do a couple of things first...you just close your eyes. I love you."
L: "Wub you too."
(Minutes pass...maybe 3....)
L: "Mama, come here!"
L: "Mama, I need you!"
L: "Hey, I take my diaper off!"
M: "WHAT?!?!"
(so I go to his room - he is neked - not to be confused with naked - from the waist down - feet up in the air, hands on "tail" as he calls it)
M: "Log, why did you take your diaper off?"
L: "Well......well.....I wanted to!"

Does anyone other than me think I might have a strong willed, just a teensy bit PERSISTENT child on my hands?
