not this cute anymore!
My middle child has never been very talkative. He likes to sit back and listen to the conversation and chimes in only when it's absolutely necessary. But lately I have been shocked by his nonstop chattiness. I know most kids go through a major "WHY?" phase at this age, but Luke really isn't asking questions-- just sharing his ideas. I think it might get annoying eventually, but right now I am totally getting a kick out of his train of thought. For years I have been wondering what is going on inside that large, unusually round head of his. Here are a few excerpts from recent conversations.LUKE: Mom, Mom, MOM! I just thought of something really weird! What if you were a boy, but you were still married to dad. Wouldn't that be crazy?
ME: yep.. pretty crazy. and pretty gross.
LUKE: Or what if you were a boy and dad was a girl and you were still married to each other. How CRAZY would that be?
ME: So crazy that I don't even want to think about it.. or discuss this anymore.

LUKE: I know everything about temples and churches.
ME: Really? What do you know?
LUKE: I know that they are exactly the same except for they look different on the outside and they are different on the inside.
ME: Nothing gets past you, kid.

LUKE: So I am thinking of a new word that you've never heard before. Guess what it is.
ME: This is kind of hard for me since I've never heard of it before. Why don't you give me a hint.
LUKE: Well, it's sort of a mix between flamingo and kitchen.
ME: Hmmm.. even after that great clue, I am still stumped.
LUKE: It's really cool. It's FLAMITCHEN.
ME: That IS an awesome word. I will probably use it next time I stub my toe, if you don't mind.

LUKE: Mom, I know that you are going to say NO to this.
ME: Then why are you even asking?
LUKE: Well, it's just that we really want to take the couch on the trampoline and sit on it and jump at the same time.
ME: No way, Jose.
LUKE: Not even the smaller couch?
ME: No.
LUKE: Dang! I knew you were going to say that.

LUKE: What are we having for dinner tonight?
ME: Since dad isn't gonna be home, we're making pancakes.
LUKE: Can you make mine into the shape of Megatron?
ME: I can do Mickey Mouse.
LUKE: I would rather have something like a Transformer.
ME: Well, it's kind of hard for me to make Megatron with pancake batter. What is he an airplane or something?
LUKE: NO! Ha! He's a Super-SONIC JET!! Duh!
ME: Well, excuuuuuse me!

He is quite funny. I love how kids became these smart little people and think we know nothing. I think it last for a while so be prepared.
HaHA! love the Flamitchen. that IS an awesome word!
what a clever little guy, wonder where he gets it? i've got some ideas. oh and david archuleta still should have won! boo yeah.
Love kids, especially yours. They are so clever and I love your wittiness in return. I'll remember the word Flamitchen next time I'm MAD!
"I know that they are exactly the same except for they look different on the outside and they are different on the inside." - I love it. And I think I'll use flamitchen next time I stub my toe, too.
He really is so clever! Such a doll. I love the flamitchen word. It is perfect!
So cute! Your kids are funny- I wonder where they get it?
OK this is funny--the things he says is darling but I think your responses make it more so. Seriously I think your boys DO enjoy your humor and aside from the mom stuff I bet they pick up on a lot (I certainly enjoy your humor-even if they don't), but I think they will totally think you are the funny one in a few years...after all farley, farley, farly, farley can only get you so far...(sorry Aaron)
Thanks Steph! Like you... I enjoy hanging out with myself and think I am funny all the time, so I don't really mind that no one else appreciates it. I don't know if they will ever come around.. but I will make sure to forward your comment to Aaron and let him know that at least SOMEONE else is voting for me as the funny parent.
The first comment makes me think that maybe vegas is wearing off on him??? Ha ha! This kid is a gem!
He cracks me up!!
I love conversations with kids. Both Tess and Charlie are total chatters. A bit exhausting, but mostly just hilarious.
your kids need to be on jay leno's funny kids show.
Has he asked you where babies come from and how they come out of your belly yet?
I laughed the whole time! Thanks!!
