Maddux kid-isms

It's been awhile, so here are a few more wise sayings from our kiddos:

Charlie:

At age 6 - "Guess what I was doing on the first day of my life? I was being born."

At age 6, while listening to a song on the radio - "Mom, this isn't a very nice song. It's talking about breaking a heart."

At age 6, to a june bug - "Hey bug - get out of here! Don't you know it's July?!"

Joe:

At age 6, this conversation with his brother who was blocking his way - Joe: "Let me through here!" Charlie: "You can't pass through here unless you tell me the names of the two best Astros pitchers ever." Joe, without skipping a beat: "Fine then. Mike Scott and Nolan Ryan."

At age 6, observantly, "Most things are made in China."

Helen:

At age 3, with a sneaky look on her face - "Did you hear that noise mom? 'Cause I did something."

At age 3, repeatedly, she used a prefatory "Maybe so" or "I think so." As in, "Maybe so I'm going to go to school today. I think so Will's going to come with me."

At age 3 - "When I'm a grownup I'm going to go to work at my own office. And I'm not going to have no Montessori work or free work. I'm going to have a TV and watch Dora. Like Daddy."

Will:

At age 3, repeatedly at bedtime - "I'm going to cry when Mommy goes bye-bye. Because I loooooovve you and I'm going to miiiisssss you."

At age 3, when told to be quiet because Daddy is sleeping - "And if I not quiet, Daddy might cry?" (I said yes.) "That's okay. I'll take care of him."

At age 3, while at home sick - Will: "Where's Daddy?" Me: "He's at work." Will: "Oh. I sorry." Me: "What?" Will: "I sorry you not at work Mommy. Because you're home with me because I'm sick."

At age 3, repeatedly, "But I want to be the rotten egg!!!"

At age 3, regarding soccer practice - "I'm going to listen to my coach. Because I weally, weally love him. And his name is Daddy."

At age 3, while discussing a football game on TV with me - Me: "If they get to the yellow line they get a first down." Will: "Did they get a first down?" Me: "Yes, but we didn't want them to." Will: "Why?" Me: "Because we're for the Texans, not the Giants. So we don't want the Giants to win." Will: "Oh. But the Giants will be sad."

At age 3, after the appliance repairman had recently fixed our washing machine, a few days later a light broke - "It's okay. The fixing man can fix it."

At age 3, regarding the toy bag from which they get rewards - "We are almost out of toys for the toy bag. So we need to go to the toy restaurant to get some more."

At age 3.5 - this one is priceless - "Mom, when I get to be a grownup I'm going to sit on the bathtub and watch YOU poop."

At age 3.5, on the way to the doctor's office - Will: "Mom, when I grow up I'm going to be a doctor." Me: "You are? That's great. You'll be a really good doctor." Will: "Yes. And then next year when I grow up, I'm going to be Spiderman."

At age 3.5, when admonished not to say the line "Excuse me, you're biting my butt" from Madagascar - "But, it's funny. And I like to say funny things."
