My kids are freakin' hilarious. They say the craziest things. Well, at least Danny does. Michael says: ball, doggy, NO, more, mama, Danny, and a handful of other words. What his words don't say, his smile or scowl does. He makes the best facial expressions.
Danny startled me the other day. After he stopped laughing, he said, "Mom, I scared the Be-Jesus out of you". Yes Danny, yes you did.
While driving past a biker on Eagle Road (very narrow country road), Danny yells, "He needs to move the heck over". That's great Dave. Just be glad he said "heck" and not the lovely vocabulary you use.
Some of his favorite things to say as of late are: "I'm serious mom. I'm not joking. I mean it. I really mean it. I'm not fibbing." When this string of words comes out of his mouth, know that whatever story he just told you, is a LIE.
His imagination is running WILD. Which I found adorable and terrifying all at the same time. Today, we are at Chapin Forest, and he said he saw a bear in the woods. Since we live in a city that had multiple black bear sitings in July, this was not a funny "story". He cracked himself up so bad. Then, he told me there were lions too. I explained that lions live in Africa, so he replied, "we'll take a helicopter".
Speaking of helicopters, every time he sees one, he makes sure we all know there is a helicopter and he says "PRAY!" and then he (tries) to do the sign of the cross. David has done this for years when he sees an ambulance, and it has rubbed off on me as well. Now when we see a fire truck, or an ambulance, or a helicopter, we do the sign of the cross, and we pray for the family that's impacted. But to Danny, this is not to be missed. This is a big shout out, like, you better "PRAY" or else. In August, we watched a UH Rainbows helicopter land at "Touch the Truck" in Willoughby Hills. This is the third year we have gone, and the third time I've made him PROMISE not to ever ride in one. God, the mere thought of it brings tears to my eyes. Our house is between a few hospitals, so I feel like life flight is always flying over. It warms my heart that every time Danny sees them, he yells, "PRAY! It's a rescue helicopter". God love him.
All day long, Danny says the most hilarious things, and I need to start writing them down. Because here I am, at 10pm, and now I can't think of them. UGH.
