One Liners

"Today my mom did her hair curly.  Like on Sunday."

(Talking about The Little Mermaid)  "She's a whale now."

(Still talking about The Little Mermaid)  "She's beautiful.  I love her."

Just another conversation

A 4 year old guy to a 3 year old guy,

"We use to have that."

"Now it's lost."

"It's in lost city."

"If we were dead we could find it."

"Dirty" Joke

Last night a mom was picking up her little girl and was chatting for a little bit.  After my son had told her a few jokes, she asked him, "Do you want to hear a dirty joke?"

And she waited for him to answer.

Which he wasn't going to do anytime soon, he turned to me and his face was red.  He was confused.  So was I.  Now I've known this lady for a while and am pretty sure that I know what her standards are ... but still, when someone asks you that ...

She starts to laugh and tells us, "A pig fell in the mud."

Well it's dirty and got us all laughing.

When I Grow Up

From one of my piano students:  "When I grow up, I want to be an actor.  Cause being the director, that would be boring to boss people around all day."

Whiny

This morning a little guy tells me, "Tamra, I'm not going to be whiny today."

Not less than 10 seconds later he asks what's for breakfast.  I tell him oatmeal.  Instantly, the same little guy has a high pitched tone and whines, "IIII don't waaaant oatmeal!"

Negotiating

This weekend I -finally- got my wetsuit altered.  The legs and arms were too long.  While we're waiting, of course we find something that's a good price that we're going to buy.  $30 - pretty good price for what we're getting.  When we go to pay, the owner tells us not to worry about the alterations, he'll throw that in along with our purchase.  I look at him and ask, "Are you sure?"  He smiles and tells me yes. 

As we're walking through the parking lot, I tell Dustin, "Wow.  I'm a pretty tough negotiator, aren't I?"

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Distractions

Today at church, there were a few funny things I had to pass on:

Imagine a family sitting in a pew.  From left to right, you have (main players) dad, mom, and a little guy.  The little guy is throwing things into the aisle.  The dad finally has his fill and stands up, scoots past his pregnant wife, and towards the little guy.  The little guy looks up and sees his dad coming.  Right before he gets scooped up he utters, "Uh-oh."

Another family in a different row.  Main players again left to right, dad, mom, teenage son, and his friend that's a girl.  So during the meeting, the son keeps flirting with the girl - whispering about this and that.  The mom taps her son on the shoulder and tells him to pay attention.  His response, "I am."  And goes back to talking to the girl.

So now we're in Sunday school.  While a lady is talking, I notice that she has the same exact hair color as the lady sitting next to her.  I quietly whisper to my husband, "Hey look - they use the same hair dye."  My step-brother-in-law (how weird is that title?) is sitting in front and me and turns his head sideways to tell me, "I heard that."  Busted.
