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.

Do you know when your stuffed animal's birthday is?

Last night, after putting Seth to bed, I was in the laundry room taking care of laundry when I heard my youngest urgently calling me. Thinking he had a problem due to the yelling across the house, I came running to see what he needed. Upon entering his room I was greeted with the question " When is Robot's birthday?" Robot is a stuffed doll version of C3PO. He attached to C3PO when he was quite young and it is the one stuffed animal that he sleeps with every night. Being my quick-witted self, I immediately responded "June" to which Seth answered "Ohh, right, June 25th, right after my birthday." Seth's birthday is February 25th.
He was happy with my information, I told him good night and he went to sleep.

My boys never cease to amaze and entertain me with their awesome questions.

How to Get you kids to drink more Milk.

Janet & I are constantly trying to get our boys to be better eaters so they can be healthy and strong. It is a challenge that at times seems hopeless. If treats could just have all the nutritional value that we need, life would be easy. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. One specific challenge is convincing them to drink enough milk so they can have strong bones. I think the link to the video below could be very helpful if you are having a similiar problem.

This Could be the Year

My U of L Cards are making an impressive showing as of late. I think they are due for a National Championship. It's been since 1986 and while it doesn't seem that long ago, It was!

I think Terrence Williams and Earl Clark can get it done this year if they want it bad enough. Pitino will definitely have them well conditioned coming down the final stretch.

Why am I a UofL Cardinal fan? Well, I grew up in Louisville and I went to graduate school at UofL. If you grow up in Louisville, you are typically a Uof L or U of K fan and not both. That is mainly because U of K fans are obnoxious. I had good friends growing up that were U of K fans and we got along fine as long as we avoid U of L vs. U of K. As I have gotten older my distaste for U of K sports has lessened significantly. At some level, I can even cheer them on. Of course, when they play U of L the gloves are off and I want them to kick Kentucky's butt.

My boys got a taste of how passionate I can be about my Cards. We watched them beat #1 Pitt last Saturday and I was jumping up & down, yelling at the TV, and giving all my boys high fives. I think I will make good U of L fans out of my boys. I'm looking forward to the next nationally televised game versus Georgetown so I can once again act like a maniac in front of my boys. GO CARDS!!!!

I bet Janet's glad she signs off on Will's homework now

A first grade girl handed in the drawing above for a homework assignment.

After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:

Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel.

Mrs. Harrington



This is just too funny. Someone showed me this so I had to share with my few followers.
