Call Me When You Die: August 2011

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!"

This is our inspiration. The truly hilarious, way-better-than-fiction, actual sayings and experiences with the wee little folk around us is what this blog is all about. We invite you to share the joy!

From my sister-in-law:

B (4) quotes of the day: "Dad, maybe when you make a little more money we can do fun things."

And, as she and her dad were leaving to run an errand, "Mom, maybe you can surprise us with a clean house when we get back."

Thanks kid.

From my sister-in-law:

B (4) doesn't talk like a kid anymore. No more "fall & crumble" or "I need some hel." Even the last holdouts (Blak-let & Root BeerD) have gone the way of proper pronunciation. So it was to my great pleasure when, upon seeing the can of fruit I was serving for lunch, B exclaimed, "I love CAN-darin oranges"
