What’s That You Say?

The boys say so many funny things and while I don’t always have time to write a post, I do want to share a glimpse into the lives of our 2 hilarious little boys and thought this would be an easy way to do that. This will be a continuing compilation of the funny things we hear from the boys so check back from time to time. Enjoy!

  2. That’s a Spiderman monkey! (B)
  3. Let’s tickle! (to each other on the couch)
  4. I can’t eat a carrot, that’s gross! (B) (He then went on to eat all his carrots a little while later.)
  5. There’s a draft coming through the window. It’s going to eat me!(B) (We think this is a play on their earlier thinking that a Giraffe was coming through the window.)
  6. I want to pet the baby (B) (during our visit to the hospital to see Brian and Ariel’s new Baby, Lincoln (Link) Tanner.)
  7. Don’t talk, my eyes are closed. (B)

  14. (Drew using his hands as people) I’m Brian, I’m Ariel, my baby’s in there (pointing to his car), wanna smell it?
  15. Hey! I see a sheep! (Drew yelling and pointing at a black poodle at the dog beach in San Francisco)
  16. There’s no pee in my penis…It’s tired and needs a rest. (Bran to me upon coaxing him to use the potty)
  17. I goosed him! (Drew’s response to being scolded for hitting Bran. Think duck, duck…goose!)
  18. What?! What…are…you…saying to me? I don’t understand you. You have to try your words again. (Drew to me as I try to explain the difference between motor oil and cooking oil. His final response? “I want some orange juice and a granola bar.” By the way all this is taking place while he is sitting on the potty.)
  19. There are a lot of cars driving awfully fast on this road! (Bran to me as we’re walking down 82nd Street)
  20. I’m a volcano! (Bran yelled this to Drew after repeatedly trying to coax him down the slide.)

  25. I’m squishing your nose… Why are you doing that?… Because it has to be squished. (Bran to Mike as he’s squeezing his nose)
  26. I’m bless-you-ing…I need medicine. (Drew after sneezing a couple of times in a row)
  27. Oh, maybe it needs new batteries. (Bran to Mike upon discovering a dead fly in the water table. Apparently that’s our answer whenever something isn’t working :-) ).

  39. My poop is like a rocket. It’s also like a cocoon for a caterpillar. (Drew 5/12/09)

  41. There’s a party in my tummy! It’s always a party, it’s lots of fun! (Bran)

(me) I don’t know, I just like it (Drew). (A few seconds later playing the same notes) It also reminds me of the escape from Alcatraz (Drew) Really? Why? (Me) Because it’s sad (Drew). Why was the escape from Alcatraz sad? (Me) Because prison is sad. (Drew) Why is prison sad? (Me) Because you can’t go anywhere or play. But you do get to eat. If you don’t eat, you’ll die!
