Funny Things

On the way to school one morning, I was listening to Carter and Averie's conversation. Most of the time, they don't realize I am listening, so they are usually pretty funny! Anyway, they were talking about what they were going to be when they grow up. Carter said he was going to be Spiderman and Averie said she would probably be a mermaid. Right after the words came out of her mouth, Carter was quick to say, "Averie, MERMAIDS are NOT real!". I suppose Spiderman is in his little world!

At preschool this year Averie has been learning and memorizing all of the nursery rhymes. She has been doing really well with them and loves to hear herself say them. But I had to laugh when I heard her saying her version of "Little Miss Muffet" :
"Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet EATING her CURVES away". Wouldn't it be great if that's all you had to do for those curves!

BEWARE OF THE "SLIME" FLU!!!

I just have to say that Carter cracks me up! He has always said the funniest things, even when he was so little. Well, since the recent news of the scary "Swin Flu" outbreak, Carter has overheard me talking a little too much I think! This last Saturday we were able to attend our cousin Keaton's baptism. When we were going to the dinner afterward Carter spoke up and said sniffing "Mom, I think I have the SLIME flu!" I didn't even know he knew anything about it. After the dinner Keaton's sister was passing out little handouts that said "It's Great To Be 8!". I watched Carter read his and then he walked over to Keaton and said "So Keaton is it really GREAT to be eight?!" He was very serious and really just wanted to find out. He really enjoyed being at Keaton's baptism to find out what it was all about. Carter and Keaton are good little buddies! Tonight we were cleaning up from dinner and as usual the house was pretty loud. All of a sudden Carter said "Hey everyone could we just be a little bit more quiet, my BRAIN is trying to tell me a story!" Wow! Who would have thought that one up!? Carter always makes life funny! What would we do without him and his little sayings!
