It's that time again... I've been keeping a running list of some of the sillies that Drew has said recently.
WARNING: Some of the following may not be suitable for young minds.
Drew showing humor... One morning before school, I woke him up and kissed him. He seemed tired so I said, "If you'd like, you can stay in bed and rest for a little bit while I make your breakfast." He agreed and rolled back over. A few minutes later, I went back in his room to get him up. He yawned and stretched. Then, with just the right tone and timing said, "Did someone say BREAKFAST??"
Preface: There is a stool that we keep in our kitchen pantry for Drew to get out and use if he wants to help in the kitchen.
One night when it was time for bed, Drew was a bit hyper. He was trying to get us to play chase with him but we were trying not to encourage the hyper activity. He insisted and was running around the house in the dark. He was running and running and laughing and then, BUMP, BANG, WAAAHHH..... I rushed to see what had happened. Drew was crying when he came up to me. He then said, "Mommy, why didn't YOU move that stool? It hurt me. Why didn't you move it?" Typical male behavior.
Drew was going to be staying at his Grandma's house over night. Hubby and I drove him over there. This is something that we do almost every weekend. Yes, we are lucky. As we were driving off that day, apparently, he said to his Grandma, "Grandma, I'm nervous." She asked him why but he didn't have an answer and she let it go. Later that night (hours later), he said, "Grandma, remember earlier today when I was worried?" She asked him why he was worried. he said, "Because my mom and dad were leaving." (I thought that was pretty good for emotional development.)
Drew begging for icecream; but me not allowing him to have any until he eats all his vegetables
"But, I'm too full for vegetables."
Drew asked,"mommy, will you show me some pictures of when Jesus was putting me in your belly?" (I had NOT told him that Jesus put him in my belly. Days earlier I had told him that God chose me to be his Mommy. The subject had been dropped. ) Anyway, I decided to show him some pictures of me pregnant. Drew said, "No, Mom, show me the pictures from when Jesus was PUTTING me in your belly." I had to quickly distract.
It wasn't over.
"Mommy, can you show me pictures of when Jesus was putting Bunny (his lovey) in MY belly?"
DISTRACT.
Then, "But Mommy, where was Jesus when I was coming out of your belly?" Whew OK that one I could answer.
And then there have been lots of death questions. I wont list all those out but I have to say they are the toughest to answer!!!
Drew and I were racing to the bathroom. I said, "Last one there is a rotten egg." He said, "No, Mommy, last one there is a rotten pee egg."
Warning-TMI
Drew was in the bathtub. He yells, "What is this? I found something. It's a circle. Come here Mommy. What is this?" I enter the bathroom... He has his hands "down there" but not on the first obvious place. Try the baggage underneath that. He says, "Look Mommy, I found a circle. What is it?" Of course my answer was, "I don't know, lets ask Daddy." Hubby comes in...he explains the newly found body part. Drew immediately says, "Daddy, show me yours."
Warning-TMI
Drew says, "Mommy, why didn't God give girls penises?" Ummm, I said, "I don't know." He said, "Mommy, I'm going to tell God to make you a penis. And, if he doesn't, I'm going to growl at him on the phone." Ahem, so there.
