Nate's Funnies

I have loved reading the funny things other kids say. Here are a few of Nate's from this week:

Yesterday, out of the blue, he told me, "Mom, I won't need you when I get older. I'll have a wife to take care of me. But, I'll come visit you sometimes." Was he trying to break my heart????

At the park on Monday, two other Mom's were talking, and one of them said "butt." Nate marched up to her and said "Ma'am, excuse me, but we don't say butt." When she ignored him and kept talking, he wouldn't quite let it go. "Excuse me, but you shouldn't say butt." At this point I decided to have a race with him so he would leave her alone.

A few days before at the park, he was playing with an 8-year-old who kept wanting to have races. After a few times of getting beat, I could tell Nate was done with this game, but it's all the other kid wanted to do. Instead of saying he didn't want to race, Nate said, "Sorry, I'm actually not supposed to run, because I have really low blood pressure." The boy seemed very intrigued by this, and suddenly felt so sorry for Nate. I had no idea he even knew what blood pressure was! On the way home, we talked about just saying he was done with the game instead of making things up!

I LOVE the things these kids say, and can't imagine what could entertain me more.

Yay you have a blog! I finally checked my email and found it! :) Looks like you have your hands full with these two, especially if Nate's low blood pressure makes yours higher.

Where does Nate come up with these things? He is such a funny boy. Hopefully you're writing these all down.

That is hilarious! What a great excuse. I think I'll use it next time I think I should exercise.
