Funny Sayings

I'm standing in the bathroom, putting in my contacts, when this conversation happens.

Adam: "Mom! I have hic... hiccups!"

Me: (trying to be funny) Wow! You sure do! Where or how did you get them?

Adam: "I got them at Disneyland! Reme... (Hic!).. . remember? Splash Mountain gave them to me!



On Friday:

Samuel: (in a dramatic voice) Mom! You'll never guess what happened!

Me: (worried) What happened?

Samuel: The aliens came back and cut more leaves off your plant! (see previous post for background)



Yesterday, we were walking into Target and walked past the tables and benches that were in front of the door to the food court. A woman and man were sitting at a table chatting and the woman was smoking. I was walking in front with the boys following behind. Samuel, a few feet behind me, calls out, loudly, "Mom! Why is that lady smoking? It's bad to smoke! It'll kill her!" He then walks up to the lady and says, "Don't you know it's bad to smoke? WHY ARE YOU SMOKING? IT'S ICKY!!! Do you want to die?"(this last was asked with a very curious voice).

I quickly grab his arm, apologize for my son yelling in her face ( but not for what he said, 'cause I agreed with him) and pulled him into the store. We then had a talk about how, yes smoking is bad for you, but it is a person's personal choice and that children do not yell at adults. He was confused and we talked about it and he thought about it our entire trip to the store.
