Zack-in-the-box

Zack says hilarious things every day... more like every hour. Most days I go to bed thinking, "I have to write that down tomorrow." And then the morning comes and I can't remember. so tonight I must jot these down quickly before I forget. They are in random order-- but all said today.

After watching some jib-jab movie (one he googled himself) he came running to me and said, "Mom, this is SO MESSED UP! Some people think Barack Obama is a super hero!" messed up, indeed.

I accidentally called his Yoda stuffed animal a "she". he stopped in his tracks, held the doll up close to me and said, "What about this face is pretty like a girls?" I love that he thinks girls faces are pretty... because they are! (and Yoda is one ugly dude)

While folding and putting away his laundry he said, "If I tell you this, you promise you won't get mad?" After I promised, he said, "I've been wearing the same Superman underwear for SIX DAYS." When I made a frowny face, he said, "You can be grossed out, but you just can't be mad-- you promised!" Grossed out I was & I made him change right away. He came back with a big sigh saying, "If I am going to wear underwear that long, it should at least be Spiderman."

While at the table for dinner he said to Aaron, "This is basically impossible, but wouldn't it be cool to buy a house with five bedrooms for only one dollar?" The way the housing market is headed, all his dreams might come true.

After eating all his food he said, "Thanks for dinner, Mom. May I be excused from the table?" Aaron and I looked at each other in amazement. He got permission, jumped down, ran over to his older brothers who were playing chess and said, "Where were your manners tonight?" I honestly have no idea where that came from, but I won't complain. He's growing up so fast.

Shoot.. I know there was a couple of others, but that's all I've got tonight. I wish I had pictures of his cute freckled face or better yet- a video of him talking with his cute lisp, but I don't. I wish I could freeze him and keep him this way forever. He is my little Zack-in-the-box, popping up in odd places constantly surprising me with his funny sense of humor. I cannot imagine my day-to-day routine without his cuticle personality.
