Lines to remember

Don't you wish you could remember ALL the funny/poignant/heartwarming things that kids say and do? I know I do. So I'm trying to do a better job of getting some of the more memorable things down on the blog. To be honest, I forget 85-percent of the things I want to remember. But maybe if I do this periodically, I'll be more inclined to hold on to the moments after they happen.

Here's just a few:

Cary to me: Mommy, are you a wife?
Me: Yes, I am Daddy's wife.
Cary pauses to think ....
Cary: I'm Dean's wife.

(This is funny to us, because it's actually the other way around. Dean is totally the boss of their relationship. LOL.)

In the process of throwing their old Sesame Street toothbrushes away, Dean makes up this whole conversation between the toothbrushes, using two distinct voices:

Dean: If you throw them in the trash, they're going to be scared. And Elmo's going to say (with a high voice), "Nooo, noooo, I don't want to be in the trash. Get me out! Get me out!" And then Cookie Monster will say (in a loud, gruff voice), "GET OUT OF THE TRASH! I DON'T WANT TO EAT TRASH. I WANT TO EAT A COOKIE!"

Dean is frequently making up dialogue between people or things. He is so dramatic, making faces and adopting voices and throwing himself onto the sofa. He cracks me up.

And this is not about the kids, but I gotta get down this Mack-daddy line my husband dropped on me last night, as a part of his 40 for 40 gifts.

He came in the house with Thai food (all shrimp dishes, b/c I do love the skrimps) and a bottle of wine. He also handed me a note with this line in it: "More than a fine wine, you are the best complement to an appetizing meal."

Hubba hubba! Lester still got game! :-)
