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!
- The moon is upside down! (A)
- That’s a Spiderman monkey! (B)
- Let’s tickle! (to each other on the couch)
- I can’t eat a carrot, that’s gross! (B) (He then went on to eat all his carrots a little while later.)
- 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.)
- I want to pet the baby (B) (during our visit to the hospital to see Brian and Ariel’s new Baby, Lincoln (Link) Tanner.)
- Don’t talk, my eyes are closed. (B)
- You’re not Drew, you’re my brother. (B)
- I’ve got water in my eyes! (A) Drew says this every time he cries. He gets really upset that he has water in his eyes.
- Mom! (A) Drew is now calling me Mom, not sure where he’s even heard ‘mom’.
- (B) I got your cheeks. (Me) You did? Where are they? (B) In my pocket. (A) In my pocket too!
- (Me) Do you want to have a story time? (Bran) No…I’m going to work.
- Oh, you got a watermelon! Thank you! … Look! It’s a 300lb watermelon! (Bran, as he tries to lift it)
- (Drew using his hands as people) I’m Brian, I’m Ariel, my baby’s in there (pointing to his car), wanna smell it?
- Hey! I see a sheep! (Drew yelling and pointing at a black poodle at the dog beach in San Francisco)
- There’s no pee in my penis…It’s tired and needs a rest. (Bran to me upon coaxing him to use the potty)
- I goosed him! (Drew’s response to being scolded for hitting Bran. Think duck, duck…goose!)
- 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.)
- There are a lot of cars driving awfully fast on this road! (Bran to me as we’re walking down 82nd Street)
- I’m a volcano! (Bran yelled this to Drew after repeatedly trying to coax him down the slide.)
- He’s saying, ‘help! help! I need lunch’. (Drew translating the cries of our newborn neighbor, Chris Lim. Turns out he was right! Now we’re trying to use Drew whenever we’re not sure why Chris is crying )
- This french fry is Brandon, this french fry is mommy. (The fries then walk along the table as Bran entertains us with them at Fort Edmonton Park)
- Thank you…That was very nice of you to give me a little spanking. (Drew to me after I apparently gave a lighter spanking than expected. This one was really hard not to laugh at!)
- When I’m big, I get gum…When I’m big, I get to drive…When I’m big, I get money…When I’m big, I get mommy’s medicine. (The boys comparing what they’ll get when they get big)
- 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)
- I’m bless-you-ing…I need medicine. (Drew after sneezing a couple of times in a row)
- 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 ).
- My dad is a very old man. (Bran)
- A barzog! (Drew) What’s a barzog? (me) A barzog is a leaf. (Drew)
- There’s a ladybug in my pants! (Bran with no ladybug in sight, just pretending!)
- Oh Joy! (Drew)
- I’m a superhero! (Drew) You are? (me) Yeah…so I can stop (pouring cereal into his bowl before it gets too full). What kind of superhero are you? A brown one…and a blue one.
- It will make a magic mess. (Andrew)
- Can I do it please, please, please? I’m a superhero. (Drew asking to pour his own cereal, a day after he informed us the first time he was a superhero-see #32)
- It’s c-o-m-p-u-t-e-r, say c-o-m-p-u-t-e-r. (Bran to Drew when he mispronounced the word computer. I have heard him either correct Drew or quietly off in the corner say a particular word correctly 3 times now.) 3/3/09
- Can we not scream please? (me) But my laugh doesn’t work (Drew) 3/3/09
- “Come with me said the giant” (Drew, 3/30/09) It’s very important to have a script when pretend playing! They have been doing this often.

- My poop is like a rocket. It’s also like a cocoon for a caterpillar. (Drew 5/12/09)
- The penalty is you have to stay at the table. (Mike) That’s not a penalty! A penalty is when you knock the goalie over! (Drew)
- There’s a party in my tummy! It’s always a party, it’s lots of fun! (Bran)
- It’s like a jellyfish. (Drew) What’s like a jellyfish (me). A penis (Drew). Why is a penis like a jellyfish? (me) Because it has a circle on top. (Drew)
- Continuation of the above conversation: Jesus came back to save a jellyfish penis… I learned that in church today. (Drew)
- You’re a noodle! (Bran) This is his new way of making light when we’re angry with him or he’s fighting with Drew.
- How to you spell boo? (me) B-o-o upside down i. (Drew)

- It’s a product of the The US dept of brandonland (Drew) (01/04/10)
- (A conversation with Drew while he was playing the keyboard in the organ function.) Mommy this sounds beautiful. It reminds me of your wedding (Drew) It does? Why? (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! (Drew) 04/16/10
- Mommy I love you bigger than the sun. (Bran) Well I love you bigger than the Universe (Me) Mommy how big is the Universe? (B) Well it’s as far as the sun to the furthest planet Pluto. (Me) Well I love you bigger than all the universes! (B) 04/16/10
