No Pants Questions

I was getting dressed in our bedroom, which has a connected bathroom, from which Jared was doing the sitting version of using the potty. Under that setting, he shouted to me that he couldn't beat "Sir Red Beard" on "Super Power Island" of the online game Poptropica. Coincidentally, my brother, Jordan, who is the lead creator of the game, had just arrived at our home (and Jared didn't yet know this). So I responded saying, "Guess what? uncle Jordan is upstairs RIGHT NOW. You could ask him for some secrets!"

After a momentary pause Jared skeptically asked, "Why would it help to ask Jordan with no pants or underwear on?"

Belly Button

I went to Kohls with Gordon today and he saw a button on the floor. He was so excited and went over and picked it up. He said, "Look Mommy. A Belly Button. Someone lost their belly button."

Body Guard

We went to the park with our Neighbors yesterday. There was a little girl at the park who was being mean to Gordon. At one time, she pushed him out of the way so that she could play with the toy he was playing with. Gordon started to cry. I looked over waiting to see how Gordon would handle it. Gordon's friend, Spencer, stepped in for him. He made this face at the girl like he was going to turn into the incredible hulk on her. Through clenched teeth, he said, "Don't push my friend Gordon!"

Later this same girl came up to Gordon and hit him. Gordon was crying and Spencer was yelling at the girl. I asked Gordon if he wanted Spencer to be his Body Guard and Gordon said, "Spencer IS my body guard!"

Spencer is 6 months younger than Gordon.

Breakable

Yesterday I was sitting on the floor and Mia was climbing up my back like I was a tree or something. Gordon was sitting in front of me playing with me. All of a sudden Gordon looked at me and Mia and exclaimed, "Mommy! You are going to broke!"

Suckers

Mia went to the school for Kindergarten testing today. After she finished, her teacher gave her a lolli-pop. On the way to the car, I asked her to eat her lolli-pop quickly so we didn't have to worry about the boys crying over it when we got home. Mia told me, "Mom. They are called SUCKERS. That means I have to suck them and they melt slowly."

Sammiches

Yesterday at church, the Sacrament was being passed and Ellis started saying, "Sammiches! Sammiches!" I told him that they were just little pieces of bread, not sandwiches. He started yelling, "Sammiches. Sammiches." I finally told him, "sure. They are sandwiches...but you only get a small piece of sandwich."

Two.

Yesterday at church, the Sacrament was being passed. It was nearly to our row and Gordon told me that he was going to take 2 pieces of bread. I told him that he was only allowed one piece. When the bread got to our row, Gordon looked at me impishly and took two pieces of bread, ignoring my whispers to put one back and ate them both.
