What My Kids Said 2010 - July 2010

Once again, I wrote down things here and there that they boys said. I wish I could put the inflection in their voices and expressions on some of these. That's what makes some of them cuter than they seem. But, you get the point.

July 2010

-Jack asked Jason for dessert. Jason said, "no, not tonight Jack." Jack started to sob a little and Jason reiterated, "Jack, no dessert tonight. You gotta understand we can't have dessert every night...that's why it's a sometimes food." Jack said, "I DO understand, that's why I'm crying."
-Walking into Target, Jack said, "wow, it looks like a nice day in Target today."
-I gave the boys a choice between a red, black, or blue lunch box. They both said black. I said, "come on guys, you don't want the colorful ones?" Then Jack said, "Well, black's the new khaki!"
-I asked James if i could go to preschool too. He said, "SURE!" I said, "what do I have to do to be good in preschool?" He said, "WELL....you have to paaaaaiiint and coloooooor."
-Jack was laughing at something. James said, "it's NOT funny JACK!" Jack said, "it's funny to me!" James, "no its not!" Jack, "well James, we have different perspectives, it's funny to me and not funny to you."
-Jack, "what's a career?" Jason, "it's a job you've had for a long time. I've been in the military for a lot of years, so it's my career." Then I said, "Mommy doesn't have a career." Jack said, "yah, because you've got a job...it's to work for us."
-I noticed Jack looked taller this morning. I jokingly said to Jack, "stop growing!" Then I turned to James and said, "James, you stop growing too!" James started bawling immediately and said, "but I HAVE to grow!"
-Jason was telling Jack about something...and after a few moments of Jason talking, Jack said, "you know what we're doing right now?...you're teaching me!....you favorite thing!!!"
-Jack said he wishes he wasn't James' big brother. Jason explained how that's not a very nice thing to say and, "how would you feel if me or Mommy said we wish we weren't your parents?" Jack said, "well, kinda bad, but then I'd want to just get new parents that wouldn't say that kind of thing."
-Jack and James were in the playroom, I was in the other room. I heard Jack ask James, "Do you wanna see Emma?" (we have glass doors on a cabinet with all sorts of pictures tapped onto it). James, "yes!" Jack, "let me see, here she is. This is Emma. I'm going to marry her someday. And we're going to have babies. She's my best friend."
-James as he hugged Jack's waist, "we're FRIENDS Jack...wanna dance with me? I'm a princess dancer!"
-we were sitting in the car and the boys noticed two people smoking. Jack said, "I do NOT want to grow up and do that!" James said, "but I want to do that!" Jack said to James, "well, it's all up to you James, but I just want to warn you, it is NOT good!"
-When James woke up, he called from his bed, "Mooooom, help me...I'M SWEATY!" (he was soaked with urine, rather than sweat).
-James said this morning after rubbing the corners of his eyes, "I have crumbs in my eyes!"
-at the pool I told James I wished I had floaties, then asked him if I could have his floaties. He said, "No...then I will die. You're too big for my floaties. When it's your birthday you could get some BIG floaties."
