About to head into the shower, I heard a disturbance in our boys' room. Going in shirtless, I tried to address the situation. After I had my say, our 5 year old, said, pointing to my pecks, "Dad, you have a big chest." Taking the opportunity to impress him, I explained that those pecks meant I was strong.
"Oh," he said, nodding. Then the light bulb went off in his head.
"Well, Mommy is a lot stronger than you, because hers are longer than yours."
Yes, yes, she is!
The Inspiration
We were visiting my parents and my grandmother was there. As we were leaving to head home, our 5-year-old kept hugging his great-grandmother over and over and telling her, "I just can't stop hugging you!" My grandmother was loving it! After a couple of minutes of this, we were finally able to convince him to join us in the car to leave. Giving her one last squeeze, he said to his great-grandmother, "Bye! Call me when you die!"

Motel 6 Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Today we had two guests over for dinner. Midway through the meal and without warning, T, our 6 year old, turned to our guests and said:
"Hospitality is my eternal weapon."
Look out all hotel chains and guest lodges!

Taking a Breather
On a family stroll today, our 5 and 6 year-olds were running around playing tag, enough to make our 5 year-old huff and puff a little bit. As he was taking a minute to recover, our 6 year-old says, "Okay, let's run again." The answer was right on:
"Not yet. I need to give my breath a minute to rest."
"Not yet. I need to give my breath a minute to rest."

S.O.S.
This one comes from our friend's three year old who was looking for a little attention:
"Mommmmm.... I'm standing on my chair! Come get me before I fall on my head and have to go to the hopspitable..."
