There are three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who can't.
"I do want a brother, but not a little brother. I want a big brother that can play the Wii with me all day - someone like Tarl." -- Esher (at Age 5) - answer to question "do you wish you had a brother?" Tarl is his 28 year old cousins-in-law.
"Look momma, it's a hospital-car." -- Esher (at Age 5) pointing to an ambulance next to them.
"i don't really like talking to girls i don't know cause then they'll like me and want to marry me." -- Esher, Age 5.
"They want me to pee in a cup even when there is a toilet right there???" -- Esher, confused at the doctor about the whole 'pee in a cup' thing.
"Dad, how much does a penny cost?" -- Tristan
"This is a short-cut, but a long one." -- Esher, while showing Lissette how to get back home from a neighbour's house.
"They sure write a lot and their handwriting isn't very good." -- Tristan's observation while walking around New York, as she looked at all of the graffiti.
"My hand ankle hurts." -- Paris, explaining that she hurt her wrist.
"In the temple families can be sealed together forever so they can’t get away from each other, even when they go to heaven." -- One of Paris' first testimonies in Sacrament meeting when she was 4.
"This game seems really easy - what, you get 4 chances to go 10 yards? Each side seems to find a way to screw that up though." -- Lissette's comment to me after my explaining to her the rules of football, about 1/2 the way thorugh the Chargers / Colts playoff game.
"Our car would be perfect if it made hot chocolate." -- Tristan's comment on the way back to the car after sledding.
"No mom, I think my tooth misses me." -- Tristan, being asked by Lissette if she missed her just pulled tooth.
"Then I'll be 7, then 8, then 9. And then I'll be a dad. And then I'll be tired of growing up and I'll die." -- Esher, telling Lissette his future plans.
"I think every year I get more and more beautiful." -- Paris, after showing Lissette her latest school pictures.
"I'm nice and I'm also pretty." -- Tristan’s answer in primary when asked what one of her talents was.
"OK Dad, you grab Paris and I'll carry Tristan." -- Esher (age 3), offering to help me carry the girls upstairs to bed after they fell asleep. Needless to say, he couldn't lift her.
"Mom, I just don't know what they are going to teach me. I'm so good already." -- Paris, after her first Art Class
"Mom, I'm trying to sleep but my sleepers broken" -- Esher, coming into our room after being in bed for 5 minutes
Dusty: "Do you wish I was your Dad?"
Paris: "No, I just want your money." -- Paris, after Dusty gave her a hand full of quarters for her 7th birthday.
3 wisecracks:
ok, i love the work in progress. And, of course you changed the "comments" to wisecracks! love it! I, of course, am going to have to tweak that on mine too, maybe like..."sweet nothings..." or "Rhodes family compliments, here..." Give me some time...
Also, I did figure out the "my blog list" love it! It wasn't difficult AT ALL, I shamefully, just had not truly gone looking for it. ;)
Love the new layout! I just read about your poor face - holy crap. I can't believe how bad it was and I'm secretly sad I wasn't there. Glad you're feeling better!
Ummm, I was thinking that while you are working on your blog it wouldn't kill you to add us to "blogs that rock"! Geesh, what's a girl got to do? I thought our families were tight. Babysitting each others kids for the last 5 years and all. But take your sweet time. I can wait...
I hope this is wisecracky enough!
