Whenever I see the kids they make me laugh. Whether it is with their silly jokes, their silly faces or just plain old childhood wisdom. I wish I had kept a running journal of the funniest things that have spewed out of their mouths because it is truly unbelievable sometimes.
My favorite line of Marisah's was when she was about four years old. She was putting her arms up for me to pick her up and they just happen to rest on my boobs. She patted them for a little bit and then asked me "What are these?" I told her that they were my breasts and her response was "Are mine going to be that big when I get older?" I thought to myself, "I hope not!"
Harrison has had some real kickers. He has quite a personality and has no filter! Today while we were watching previews for a movie, there was some sort of advertisement with a dinosaur in it and he turned to me and said "You were lucky as a little kid because you got to see dinosaurs." I told him that I definitely was not alive when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and he said "But you were born in the 1900's right?" Yes, yes I was, but dinosaurs were around long before then. He then reasoned that maybe dinosaurs were around in about 1950.
The funniest part is that while I am feeling old at that moment, at lunch earlier Marisah told me that she always thinks I am a teenager and don't look like an adult.
For any parent who has young kids I would encourage you to write these things down. They will definitely give you laughs as the kids get older and would be something great to share on a special occasion like college graduation!
On a side note, I'm still on the cool side but while Aunt Jackie was giving Marisah hugs she told her to stop because she was embarrassing her :-( Meanwhile I was grabbing her tush on the way back from the bathroom and she was hysterically laughing. I also had Harrison basically making out with my hand while at the movie theater (which was kind of embarrassing for me!!). One of these days I will be right there with Aunt Jackie embarrassing them, but I'm going to squeeze and kiss them for as long as I can!
