Joseph: “Daddy, how do you spell ‘Rudy’?”
Dad: “R-U-D-Y.”
Joseph: “Huh.” *Thoughtful pause* “That’s how I spell it, too!”

How do I love thee?
Joseph to me: “I love you more than you love me.”
Me: “Do you love me more than pizza?”
Joseph: “No.”
I Hope Nobody Heard That…
My kids have often said things that if taken out of context, could get me into big trouble with Social Services! When we were at the grocery store, my 3-year-old pointed at a colorful box on a shelf and said, “Mommy, what is that?” I said, “That’s Budweiser beer.” He turned up his nose and said, “Ugh! That’s not the kind of beer that I like to drink!”
(Just for the record, he likes to drink ROOT beer!)
Fire drill
We were teaching the boys about fire safety. We did a couple of fire drills, and then decided to do one more where I did it the wrong way. This time, as we were leaving the house, I stopped and started picking out movies that I didn’t want to get burned up in “the fire”.
When I finally got outside, my husband said, “What did Mommy do wrong?” Our youngest said, “She forgot to get ‘The Office’ videos.”
Dinner time
I took dinner out of the oven and my 8-year-old said, “You better taste it and see if it’s edible. I mean, I know it’s edible, but is it ‘real food’ edible or ‘survivor food’ edible? Survivor food is what you dig out of a trash can, but real food is good.”
Where does that kid get this stuff?
Funny bone
My husband whacked his funny bone one afternoon. That evening, he said, “My funny bone is still hurting.” Our son said, “Yeah, and now his sense of humor is different.”
Getting dressed
My 6-yr-old was talking to himself this morning: “Do I have to wear jeans today? Yes, I do have to wear jeans today. Because when you wear jeans, you are a GENIUS!”
An accident?
My son overheard me telling a friend about a college student who crashed her car. I asked my friend, “Did you hear that Dorothy had an accident?”
My son said, “Dorothy peed in her pants???”

Guess what!
My son (Joseph) was talking to an adult friend of the family.
Joseph: “Guess what I did!”
Andrew: “What?”
Joseph: “I stuck my head in the toilet and flushed it!”
Andrew: “You gave yourself a ‘swirly’? I’m not sure how to separate the bully from the victim in this scenario…”
