3 Little Sponges

Have you ever said something in front of a child, only to hear them repeat it? And you wished that you could go back in time or somehow erase it from his or her memory? We've probably all had those moments. Sometimes it's funny, and sometimes it's not so funny..... A few days ago, Isaac asked me for a cookie, and when I told him that we didn't have anymore he said "Oh, man." Hmmm, wonder who he heard that from? And today, I was going to take a picture of him sitting in this adorable rocking chair that was given to him by his Aunt Becky, but the batteries were dead in the camera. So, I told Isaac that I couldn't take a picture of him because the camera was not working, and he said "Bummer." I will take full responsibility for that one. It's interesting to think about kids being like little sponges, soaking up everything around them. I will skip over the "not-so-funny" things my children have repeated over the years. But here are some of the more funny things that Samuel, Avery and Isaac have said, more than likely because they heard Hector or I say it first:

Avery:
You've got to be kidding me!
Are you 100% sure?
I can't make up my mind.
I'm all sweaty.
That's so cute! We should buy it.
What do you think we should do today?
This tastes SOOOO good.
I need ketchup.
Does my hair look crazy?
Is there something in my teeth?
Is there something in my nose?
How do we look?
Is that what you're wearing?
I'm so proud of you.
There's no such thing as monsters, right? And dinosaurs aren't alive anymore, right? And if a big bear comes into my room tonight and wakes me up, I should come tell you, right?
I'm just really tired and I need to be by myself for a minute.
That kid is acting crazy. He needs to get his body calm.
Have you ever tried it before? Then how do you know you don't like it?
We're all different. That's why!


Samuel:
Would you please respect my words?
Hey, guess what?
Okay, so you're never going to believe this!
I don't understand what you're saying to me.
Cool!
I don't appreciate that.
Share, or go to time out... What's your choice?
I need privacy.
It's not a race.
I hope you have a good sleep.
Did you do your best? Then, that's all that matters.
Just 5 more minutes, okay?
I knew you could do it!
You're never going to leave, right?
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the pizza. Now let's eat. Oh wait! I mean, Amen.


Isaac:
Uh oh.
Throw!
There it is.
I don't know.
Stinky!
No no no.
Bummer.
Oh, man.


Hope you had a good laugh!
