Jonathan Quotes

One day Jonathan saw Anna put a small part from her My Little Pony in her mouth. He raced over and grabbed it from her, and said, "No, no, Anna! Don't put stuff in your mouth. I don't want you to choke cuz your my girl!"

I saw Jonathan on the couch a couple of weeks ago smelling his feet. We have a longstanding joke in our family. We smell each other's feet and name foods that they smell like. The most popular toe scent is chicken nuggets, and then invariably, the other foot smells like french fries.
I asked him what his feet smelled like. I was expecting him to make a joke, like they smell like hot dogs or something. He said very seriously: My feet smell like roast beef.

Yesterday I was in the car driving down Wickham. The left lane was blocked and I needed to get over, but I couldn't see out the rear window because it was all foggy. I was talking to Dave om the phone, and I said, "Oh, I can't see!"Jonathan immediately said in this kind of weary tone, "Then take off your glasses, Mama."
I wear these really big and really dark sunglasses. I took them off and it did help. Sometimes I can't get over how wise Jonathan can be. I think he was just sitting in the backseat, thinking, well of course you can't see with those black lenses on!

On Sunday morning before church, the kids and I were saying goodbye to Grandma Jane, who had been here for the week. He asked if she was leaving, and she said, "No, I am going to take a shower first and then I am going to leave." I prompted Jonathan to give her a hug, and he looked at her and then said, "I'll give her a hug after she takes a shower."


This morning Jonathan was trying to transform one of his Transformers from vehicle mode to robot mode. He was talking to himself out loud, and he said, "Oh, how do I robot this one? I can't remember how to robot this one." I love it when he turns a noun into a verb like this.
