Kid Quirks

Luke came home from preschool and the class had made conical asian hats. Luke's hat has a picture of a pig on it and I asked him about it. He said it's because he was born in a pig.
Wow - thanks Luke. (Luke was actually born in the year of the pig.)

Out of the blue, Luke tells Dustin that we aren't supposed to eat in the living room. Dustin asked, "Who told you that? Luke replies, "Jesus."

Dustin walked into the room and said, "Man! This room is a disaster. We need to clean it up." Luke then replied, "You're a disaster."
(I think Luke listens to everything we say and I have said things like that a little too much.)

Luke came up to Dustin and patted him on the stomach and told him he's starting to look like a grandpa. Dustin asked him if he sucked in his tummy, would that help? "No", says Luke. (Then Dustin cried.)

Luke asked Dustin if he was years or is he "mumps"? Luke was trying to figure out why some people are years, like he's 4 years old, and some people are "mumps" because Grant is 8 months old.

I asked Luke to pick up some toys and I commented on how fast he was picking them up. He said, "Yeah! I'm as fast as a hippopotamus!" (okay!?!)

During Sacrament meeting, one of our ward members performed a musical number with with cello. We pointed it out to Luke, who quickly lost interest. A couple minutes later he says, "When's this "jello" going to be finished?"

I will ask Luke to get me diapers and wet wipes to change Grant and he is usually eager to please. He will start to run to Grant's room but then he'll stop and ask, "How many wep wipes do you need?" (wet wipes)

The night before Valentine's Day and Luke and I were working on valentines for Grandma B. and Grammy. Luke turns to me and asks, "Did you get that really big Hershey kiss?" I didn't know what he was talking about but Dustin quickly yelled for Luke to join him in the bedroom, with the door closed. A few minutes later he comes running out and says, "Mom, did you know that Valentine's Day is like Christmas and I'm not supposed to tell you about your surprise that's in dad's closet right now?"

In Primary Luke's class had a handout of a scroll the teacher made. I asked Luke what it was and he said it was a squirrel. (squirrel, scroll. What's the difference?!)

Luke was a bit constipated and so as he sat on the toilet, we talked. I asked if his poop was coming out and he said, "He doesn't want to come out." A few minutes later he was able to get some out. I asked if he had any more and he said yes but, "he doesn't want to come out yet." Then, a minute later Luke told me, "Now he wants to come out and see his poop friends."

A show Luke enjoys watching on the Nick Jr. channel is "Spongebob Upsidedown Pants. (Spongebob Squarepants)

"I need a bandaige." (Bandaid)

The 3rd day in April it was really nice and sunny outside and Luke told us he wanted to run in the sprinklers. "No way!" I said, "It's way too cold. You'll get sick if you run in the sprinklers." (I was home sick with a nasty cold at the time) Later Luke told Dustin that the reason I was sick was because I had run through the sprinklers when it was cold outside.
