Hello, there! It is summer: smack dab in the middle of it. It’s hot. Also, the most ironic thing I’ve ever written was in my last post, when I said, “I think everyone is done being sick now.” The universe certainly took that as a challenge. I cannot even begin to explain the torrent of covid, strep throat, pink eye, ear infections, and other unidentified viruses we have experienced over the past two months in this household. So many plans canceled. So much sleep lost. So many doctor appointments. I am thankful for the age of the video visit, for those visual-diagnosis ailments, at least.
I don’t dare imply that I think this round of sickness is over, now. Mostly because it would absolutely not be true. The star of today’s post is still on antibiotics for the most recent infection. Not to mention the coughs echoing through the house from four out of the six of us. Maybe, just maybe, we will all have super immune systems before school starts back up? They’re getting quite the workout.
Anyway! Luke turned five more than half a year ago, but today I finally have his four-year-old comical comments curated for you. Enjoy!
Hers is more wiggly and mine is more stay-still-y.
Mommy, I know that our minivan is your work car.
(The kids discovered we had confiscated all their candy—a punishment for their whiny and defiant behavior after having a piece of candy the day before.)
I was about to call the police to take you.
It has a curious smell that’s smelly. It’s not really stinky.
Miryam: What’s a tushy?
Me: A bottom.
Luke: A bottom isn’t a tissue; a Kleenex is a tissue.
Luke: How did you toss that so far?
Me: I’ve got skills.
Luke: Workers have more skills than you.
It smells like a centipede.
(Upon discovering that spaghetti is for dinner.)
That just surprised me, and it made me yummed out.
Hippos have lots of little owies on their booties because they sit on sharp rocks.
Luke was asking me a question about Christmas stockings and he accidentally said “Christmas beanstalks.”
(The very first thing he—or anyone—said to me on my birthday.)
When’s the cake going to be done?
Daddy’s watching a movie, and the baker put mac’n’cheese in a turkey’s butt! Even pickles on the side of it, and salad on top of the pickles. I don’t know why the baker would do that!
