Ask anyone who works with or has kids and odds are they’d say that kids really do say the funniest (and sometimes most heartwarming) things. I wish I could remember all of the things my kids say, but unfortunately my brain isn’t what it used to be!
Recently I found out how expensive our plane tickets to go back to the States was going to be and I told the kids. I told them that I probably wouldn’t have a lot of extra money for the next couple of months and maybe we shouldn’t go out to eat so much. Then Ethan said to Joshua, “So if you find any money on the floor, give it to mommy and daddy, ok? And maybe we shouldn’t brush our teeth anymore!” ( I recently started fining them 50NT a day if they forgot to brush their teeth in the morning, to go towards future dental work!)
Joshua saw me sewing with a needle and thread and said, “What is that, a hair?” I obviously don’t sew much.
This morning, I heard Joshua go into the bathroom for his morning pee. I recently put one of those blue disks in the toilet that makes the water blue. He shouted, “Look! I made green!” Then Ethan joined him and said, “Wow! Let me pee too and then it’ll be really, really green!”
Ethan has started the habit of making up his own holidays. First it was “Happy Family Night” when we’d all do something together like go out somewhere or watch a movie and eat popcorn. Recently it was Happy Earth Day, when we were not supposed to eat meat or drive our cars ( I guess he got the idea from the realy Earth Day). The next holiday coming up is “Lazy Day” when we will all just be lazy and relaxed and do whatever we want. I’m looking forward to that one! When I said, “But what about meals?” Ethan answered, “Your sons will help you!” Good answer!
