In his words

I ran across some old pieces of scrap paper today I had used to jot down funny things Matthew had told me. Here is a small sampling along with a couple from this past week. Hope they give you a laugh.

April 13, 2007

• "I want to fly. Mom, can you get a real Tinkerbell and shake it on my head. She'll make fixing dust and put it on my head and then I can fly."
• "Mom, have you ever seen a crab nebula? When I was a boy my father would take me into outer space and as we flew by I saw a crab nebula."

Easter out at the ranch.

• As Matthew walked past me-- "Howdy little lady."

• As Chris pulled up in front of the Harley Davidson dealer-- "Welcome to the motorcycle shop, Mom. The greatest shop in the world!"
• After helping him to "wipe up" in the bathroom I said, "Good job Matthew." His reply, "It's my pleasure."

Recently

• On our way to school we stopped for two ambulances and a fire truck to go past with sirens roaring. From the back Matthew asked, "What is all this cacophony?" Um, he gets it from T.V. A little show called Pinkey Dinkey Doo. Good to know somebody is teaching him.
• As an Amish farmer ran past us at Saturday's market Matthew calls out, "Mom, look. There goes a pioneer!"
• Chris made peanut butter pancakes for dinner on Sunday. While I was out of the room Matthew got in a little trouble-- Matthew: "I dumped out a whole lot of syrup Mom." Me: "Yeah?" Matthew: "Yeah. But Dad already put me in the corner so you don't have too. But he already got me out. He didn't make me stay there a long time like you did when I peed in my unders. That was nice. And look, I licked it all up so you wouldn't know what I did. " Ooooh, thanks for telling me about your sneaky way of covering your tracks!
