Funny stuff

I gave up twitter this week. Of course, ever since doing so, my kids have been absolutely hilarious! Since I can't tweet their "isms" I decided to dedicate this post to the very funny -- sometimes inspirational -- things they say.

Nathan, "Ethos. Pathos and Logos.  Everything we say boils down to one of these three." Me, "Huh?" (I wonder which one my response falls in.)

Ben, "Which do you like better, Mom? Concrete roads or asphalt roads?" (Really... I see a future in Civil Engineering!)

Ellie, "I can't wait till tomorrow." (Said Tuesday, June 7th.) Mom, "Why?" "Because tomorrow I can be the first one to wish Ben a happy birthday!" Mom, "Do you know that his birthday isn't till Thursday, June 9th?" Ellie, "Yes. That's why I want to tell him happy birthday on Wednesday." (Gotta love a girl with a plan!)

Nathan, "Nice job, Mom." (Said without sarcasm!!! I'll treasure those words said in that tone forever! He's 17.)

Ben, "I really think we need to invent flying cars. I'm not exactly sure what we'd do with all these roads, but flying cars would be a lot cheaper." (See -- he's going to be an incredible Civil Engineer!)

Me to Ellie, "Do you have gym today?" Ellie, "What's gym?" Me, "It's the same as P.E." Ellie, "Mom, can we just call it P.E.?" (At least she didn't say I am out of touch, old, or old fashioned.)

Nathan, "I thought I told you that..." (He has lots of imaginary conversations with me!)

Ben, "Why can't more people write good books?" (He exclaimed after reading a football story written by Tim Green for the middle school boy audience. So much for Twain, C. S. Lewis, and Steinbeck... apparently they aren't all they are cracked up to be.)

Ellie, "Wow! When you invite people to church, they actually come." (Wisdom, from the mouth of a six year old to her mama's -- and hopefully your -- heart! An evangelist to be!)
