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!"

sidewalk chalk

Our family was visiting with the kids' GodMother. She had a new bucket of sidewalk chalk for them to play with. The kids began drawing on her back patio. Brodie took the white chalk and began scribbling. His GodMother asked him what he was drawing. He answered, "Bird poop."
