Some Words From a Day

Here are some words that my kids said, on just a normal summer day. These kids are something else. Not only are they beautiful and talented, they are so fun to know. I am glad I get to be their Mom. I need to pay attention and take note more often of what they say!

Anna: This is the yummiest place in the whole wide world!
Jonathan: (scoffing in disgust) It's not WIDE, Anna, it is ENTIRE. That is correct.

Later, Jonathan was misbehaving and I was getting pretty frustrated with him. I walked into the kitchen and Anna turned to him and whispered (loudly):
Bubba! You better stop it or you're gonna get FIRED!

Driving down the road, with the two of them in the backseat:

Jonathan: Mama, why doesn't save rhyme with have???
and then:
Jonathan: Urine is a scientific pee.

then Anna chimes in, out of the blue:

Anna: Bubba, if you want to marry me, I'll let you have a dog in my house! Puhlease???
Jonathan: No! I am just going to live in my own house and I can have a dog there.
Mama, when I grow up can I have a dog like the President's dog? A Portuguese water dog?

Then, an abrupt change in the conversation:
Jonathan: Hey Anna! You know that stuff that Anna Donna (his name for Nona Donna) gets out of my ears? That's earwigs!
Anna: Bubba, that is NOT earwigs! That is earWAX! (rolling her eyes)

We got into the house, and Anna announced that she wanted to marry me when she grew up.
Jonathan's response:
You can't marry Mama. For THREE reasons.
One is that you can't live with your mom when you're a grownup.
Two is that you're a girl and she's a girl. You're both girls.
Three is that she is already married. To David.
