My little Lukey turned four this past week! He is the darlingest, most photogenic, “ornery-sweet” boy I could ask for. Also, he says some hilarious things. Please enjoy this year’s installment of his quotations that I documented.
The night before his first day of preschool:
And Miryam and Lukey will go to school tomorrow and they will play together at the school!!!
Me: Let’s go wash your hands and brush your teeth.
Luke: (just as cheerful as can be) How about let’s not!
Miryam: I am a Tornado and coming for you, Luke.
Luke: If you touch me, I am fire and burn you, “Tormado.”
Justin and I are having a conversation in the front seat. Meanwhile, Luke is trying to tell me something from his car seat…
Luke: Mommy. Mommy. Mommy.
Me: Yes, Luke?
Luke: Mommy. Focus. (proceeds to whatever his subject was; I’m sorry I don’t know what it was, because I was laughing and Justin was giving him an air high five)
Miryam: What does B-O-R-D-E-N spell? Borden?
Me (I misheard her from other side of kitchen): Gordon? Like the train? (From Thomas and Friends.)
Miryam: No, Borden. What’s Borden?
Me: It’s the brand of milk.
Luke: No, it’s Brendham Docks! (From Thomas and Friends.)
Luke: You broke the dance party.
Me: Yep, I did. I shut it down. I’m the po-po.
Me: (finds Tik Tok by Ke$ha on Amazon music)
Luke: Is this the po-po song?
Me: (regrets previous vocabulary choice)
Also me: (commences rabbit hole of 2010s pop music mommy-only dance party while they continue their job of cleaning up the living room)
Pizza is the best food.
Arizona has spicy things. Like rattlesnakes and stuff…. We need to go there.
Luke: Foots are stinky.
Me: Feet are stinky?
Luke: Yeah, yours are really stinky.
(Talking about jalapeños)
Luke: Does it have seeds?
Me: Yes.
Luke: Can you eat the seeds?
Me: Yes, but they’re spicy….They’re hot.
Luke: Why are they spicy and hot?
Me: That’s just how God made them.
Luke: Why did He make it hot? Did He put it in the oven? Where is His oven?
Me: (dancing randomly in the kitchen)
Luke: When you wiggle like that, it means you need to go potty, Mom.
I said that multiple times!
(referring to above)
Look at that coffee water, Mommy.
Luke: (counts to 39 correctly)
Me: 😱🤩
Me: What church prayer do you want? (Choose Our Father, Hail Mary, etc.)
Luke: The dul-chay-doh. (“Dulcedo”)
Me: The Salve Regina?
Luke: Yeah!

And finally–I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again–if you have a little kid in your life, open up google docs right now and make a new document with the kid’s name and age as the title. The next time he or she says something hilarious, you can type it into your doc ASAP, and remember it forever. You can thank me later!
