My Favorites

My favorites from the last couple of weeks:

1. In primary
Song leader: What song should we sing?
Destroy: The Hokey Pokey!
Song Leader laughing: Uh, that's not really a church song
Destroy: Why not? That's what it's all about!

2. We see Search randomly "flying" around the house on a broomstick pretending he's a witch.

3. Apparently, I'm supposed to be learning some life lessons from my 4 year old.
- While sewing one day, "Mom, you need to stop doing that because it's frustrating you."
-While cleaning the bathroom one day, "Mom, you can't do everything by yourself!" He proceeds to grab and Clorox wipe and help me clean the floor.
-One day, Destroy had been making a series of bad choices. I told him that he needed to grow up and act his age. To this he replied, "I'll grow up when you grow up". If that doesn't put you in your place, I don't know what does.

4. Search uses bar stools to get whatever he wants from places that he can't reach. I can hear the screeching of the barstools from other rooms in the house and I know that he's doing something he shouldn't. He pulls the stool over, get the cereal down from the pantry, moves the bar stool again to get a bowl out of the cupboard. He also has a fascination with Destroy's art projects that he brings home from school. Destroy had made an especially pretty turkey with beads glued on as the feathers. I put it up at the top of the fridge so that Search couldn't reach it. As I come into the kitchen one day after hearing some screeching I see Search shoving the beads into his mouth as fast as possible while standing on the barstool that he had moved. I think I may devise a plan of bolting those stools in their rightful place.

5. Yesterday while at Wendy's Destroy saw a bald guy.
Destroy: "What happened to your hair?"
Old guy: "I don't know. One day it just stopped growing in."
Destroy: "No, I think it all blew away in the wind."
Old guy laughing: "Maybe so!"
