The Apple Fell Far From the Tree (at least my side of the tree)

My oldest son continues to amaze me each and every day.  He definitely is quick and witty like his father.  I, unfortunately, cannot claim that this part of him is inherited from me. 

Last night, while Trick or Treating at our Mall, a lady responded to Bert’s “Trick or Treat,” by saying “Trick!  I want a trick!”  I figured he would just stand there, not knowing how to react.  Instead, he stuck his tongue out at her and blew a funny noise out of his mouth.  She said, “Well, I did ask for a trick!  He’s pretty quick there!  Didn’t skip a beat!”

Needless to say, I think sometime soon, I will find myself at the mercy of my son’s witty remarks.  We shall see.

Another funny that happened yesterday…

This one really got me laughing.

Bert was playing on the computer at the Nick Jr. website when he said, “Mom! Can you help me?”

I walked over and he said, “I need to hop on the geyser and I cannot do it.”

Amazed that my 4 year old knew what a geyser was, I replied, “Geyser?  How’d you know it was called a geyser?  Who taught you that word??”

He looked thoughtfully at me and said, “Mom, God gave me a brain.”

All that this moment was missing was  “Dah-Duh-Dum-Crash!” from drums and cymbol after he ended.

So funny!!!!

 

Currently?  He’s selling his 2 year old brother car insurance.  (car insurance?? really???)  He’s using the coupons that some of the lame stores gave us last night instead of candy.
