Classic Jonathan

Monday:
I picked him up from preschool and asked him what he learned today. Our conversation went as follows:
Just space stuff.
What do you mean? Like what?
Just boring stuff about planets. Nuffin really.
Well, tell me one thing you learned about planets.
Sighing loudly with great exasperation and rolling his eyes (as in, here I go, humoring this lady yet again):
Like, that we live on planet Earth. And that Mars is very hot, because it is very close to the sun. And that Mars is red. Earth is not red. It is blue and green. And that Jupiter is so cold because it is very far away from the sun. Earth is a good temperature, but I want to live on Jupiter cuz I hate being hot and I just want to be cold all the time.

Well, alrighty then. That's a whole lot of something about 'nuffin!

Monday PM. I return home from small group with Anna. Jonathan stayed home to "help" Daddy install a new faucet in the kitchen sink (which actually wound up being true. He did have to help!)
What happened, Jonathan? Did you help put this new faucet in?
Yes, Mama. It was like a water park. There was water everywhere, sprayin' straight up. It was even hitting the walls and the curtains and the ceiling.
Why are you laughing, Mama? It was like a water park, it really was. I am being serious. It's the truth. That's what happened. I had to help Daddy cuz water was spraying all over the place.

Apparently, Dave did not turn the water off, and the faucet turned into a geyser. Jonathan had to help him because no one else was home and he needed another set of hands. Dave said Jonathan told him, Anna should have been here. Anna should of helped you because she has small hands. My hands are too big. Anna would have been better, Daddy.

So cute! He has such a precise, earnest way of saying everything, coupled with all of his little speech issues. It just makes everything he says so funny and cute!
