So Sunday at church a lady was talking, (a really nice lady I am sure) she was saying in a desperate, yearning for God sort of voice, how hard life can be sometimes (then she paused, gazed up to heaven for a sign of a higher power). This may have been a very moving moment for someone not sitting next to my eight year old son. He said in a DUH, get a grip lady, kind of voice. "UH life isn't that hard, we can go out to eat, we have corn dogs, and we can play with Yo-Yo's." DUH
I think he may be on to something there.
This same child makes the board often. One of the funniest things he's ever said was when he was about 4 years old. I was helping him out of the tub, just as he was stepping out of the tub he let an extremely loud toot. Although I don't know if you can call it a toot. Toot is kind of a cute word. this was the kind of gas passing that changes a boy into a man. He was beaming with pride as he said, "Wo, I just paid my taxes with that one." We still use this line when someone really does themselves proud in our house.
