Just a few of the more poignant phrases uttered by our little man that have stuck with me (Kelly).
After seeing a helicopter while waiting for the bus: "Do you know I rode in a helicopter once; it was after I was born when I popped out of mommy's belly." What?
On the way to McDonald's after putting on a new shirt he thought was especially cool: "The food-givers are going to think I look awesome!" (food-givers == McDonald's employees). Displays a mind that knows what it wants to say even when it lacks a certain broadness of vocabulary. Also, a great deal of respect for people who serve dinner in a box with a toy.
After spinning around in the bath tub while the water let out: "I thought I was just going to swirl down into the drain."
Tear-jerker: "Daddy, I love you like the sky loves the clouds." Poetic genius.
Several times during the Riverdance performance in Dublin: "Daddy, I just like the girls more the boys." Well said.
Told to the pastor after the children's sermon: "I sneaked a apple from the fruit bowl." Must have been a huge relief to get that off his chest.
Shouted while crying hysterically after falling down: "I wish I didn't have knees!"
Somewhat related comment from the next day after bumping his head on the wall hard enough to make a pretty loud bang: "I wish my head was fluffy." That one got him laughing so hard he forgot about the injury. I enjoyed the fact that he recognized that he needed a head (unlike knees).
Praying the night after he started using "big kid toothpaste" that you spit out when you are done with: "Thank you God for toothpaste and spitting out the stuff".
