Funny Things the Kids Say

* The other day we were going to have some extra riders in our van. I moved Derek to the back of the van with Zack so the middle seats would be open. As I was driving to the meeting spot, I hear Zack say to Derek:

Zack: So, Der, you want to talk?
Der: Sure
(Zack, pensive and looking out the window) Well, you know that Batman is sure a hero.
Der: Uh-huh
Zack: I wonder where he learned all his moves.
Der: Uh-huh.
Zack: So, were you happy with what you got for Christmas?
Der: Uh-huh.
(Zack gives up.)

* I recently tried on my wedding dress. Mostly because I was curious if it still fit, 8 years and three kids later. (it sort of kind of in an unbearably uncomfortable way did. Thank goodness it had an empire waist.) These were the reactions:
Matt: Wow, you are cute! But you look....older than when we got married. I mean (grasping now, realizing he has made a possibly fatal error) you were just a baby when we got married! I mean, wow! you are skinny! (Saved)

Zack: What is that? Are you going to wear that to the party tonight?
Me: No, this is my wedding dress, do I look like a princess?
Zack: Not really. But you look....(searching for the right word) very beautiful. (what a diplomat)

Derek: Mommy! Are you a princess?
Me: Yes.
Derek: No, you just mommy!


* And I recently saw Derek brushing his hair in the bathroom. When he finished he said, "I look good!"

*The other day I was getting ready and Derek picks up some of my makeup and says, what is this. I tell him it is my makeup. Then he says, "You can never have t0o much makeup." ?!?
(I later realized that one of the "grooming" robots says this on Wall*E and he has watched that show several times in the last week.)

Fun times!

I like that Zack started off the conversation with the deep and thought provoking concepts such as batman and his moves!

Don't let Matt spread it around that you were a baby when you were married- bad news, bad news.

I'm dying laughing!!!! You're kids are so funny! And yeah, trying to squeeeeeeze into MY wedding dress would be a major feat! Be proud of the fact that yours still fits you!

Too funny. I have thought about pulling out my dress to try it on, but it has been sealed in a box these last 7+ years and I don't know if I could seal it up again. I have always wondered if it is even in there.
