More Wisdom Courtesy of Seth

Did you know that if you say "Double please", that whomever you said it to has to do whatever you asked.  It's true.

We had Seth at Target the other day and while waiting in the checkout aisle he asked if we would get him some granola bites that they had strategically placed to tempt small children such as he.  When we said yes, Seth said " Yeah thank you.  Since you said I should have this, now you should say I can have candy."   We didn't fall for it.

Life of a Giant Robot



I learned all of the following from Seth while I pretended with Seth to be Giant Robots.

You know what? "Giant Robots can go through zap stuff and not get killed?"

You know what?   "The bottom of my shoes have rocket boosters, but they don't really fly,  That's just pretend."

You know what?  "Giant robots wear glubs ( gloves )"

You know what?  "Giant robots also have a lightsaber attached in the private area and it helps them to walk."   I didn't want to ask for anymore detail on that one.

You know what?   " Giant robots like to eat toys, but they just pretend.  They don't really eat them."

You know what?  " Giant robots have a secret storage place in their belly to store weapons"

You know what?  " They want toy spaceships for birthday presents."

You know what?  " They are ebil (evil)"  I guess that seems pretty obvious.

I really do learn a lot when I play with Seth.

The World According to Seth


It has been a very long time since I made a post. Hopefully I will stick with it this time, but I doubt it. I think I will take a different approach this time. Not a day goes by that our four year old , Seth doesn't say something worth noting. I believe it is time for me to begin trying to document all of Seth's words.

Today, I am going to share two things he said today. First, during his preschool class today they were learning Spanish and they were teaching all of the children their names in Spanish. Seth refused to learn his name in Spanish citing " My family can't handle Spanish". The second thing I want to share is a bit uncouth, but pretty funny. He likes to refer to # 2 as butt barf. He also informed me "That your bum can't barf on the floor cause you're too close to the potty."

I am confident that Seth will provide a get deal of additional material. It's up to me to keep posting it.
