no more

Last night my man cub asked me to stop posting Brodie Quote of The Day. I told him okay. I double checked with him this morning to make sure he is serious. He is. It is no longer fun for him to have people comment about his quotes. I respect his request. My eldest makes funny comments all the time as well but I do not post those as she asked me not to. I will continue to jot his jokes down for his own enjoyment later in his life, but I will no longer post them for the world. It was fun while it lasted. : ) For those of you who see Brodie on a regular basis, I ask that you also respect his decision and do not mention it to him or try to change his mind. Thanks. (Of course those of you who see him on a regular basis will continue to hear his jokes and general view of the world live and in person)

goodnight sister

Brodie: Say goodnight sister.

Katherine: Goodnight sister.

Brodie: Hahahahaha. That cracks me up!!!

root beer float

My daughter was having a root beer float for dessert. Brodie said, "Mommy, I don't like real root beer flutes." I replied, "You don't like root beer floats?" Brodie answered, "No. They taste jangely." I asked, "Jangely?" He said, "Yes. Like bubbly."

breakfast cereal

While picking up a few items at the market, Brodie and I ended up on an aisle with breakfast cereal. Today many of the cereal boxes had fun characters on them - promoting movies coming out, etc. Brodie asked for a cereal with such a character on it. It was one I may have bought if our pantry was not currently well stocked with breakfast cereal. I explained to him why I wouldn't get that cereal today. As we walked down the aisle he saw another of his favorite characters on a cereal box and said we should get it. When I saw that cereal I explained I would never buy that cereal for him because it was not healthy. We continued our way down the aisle and Brodie saw yet another cereal box with a beloved character on it. He said we should get this box of cereal. I looked and saw that it also fell under the category of never because it is not healthy and told Brodie so. To this he exclaimed, "But chocolate is healthy!"

what are you doing?

While both kids and I were getting in the car, Brodie was shuffling his feet and taking weird steps. We didn't have time to waste so I said, "C'mon. Let's go. What are you doing?" Brodie continued this odd walk and stated in a stiff voice, "I. Am. A. Ro. Bot." Ah. Of course.

tinker toys

"Mommy, I am tired. I am so tired. A person cannot put Tinker Toys away if they are tired."

long neck

Brodie and I were rocking in the glider before his nap. He wanted to lay his head on my shoulder a certain way but it wasn't working. He told me that he has grown and his neck was too long. Then he asked if my neck was long. I told him to look at it and tell me. He pointed at my neck and counted, "One. Two. Three. Four. Five miles!"
