Call Me When You Die: February 2012

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!

Batteries Not Included

From our sister-in-law:

21 month old W wants to sit on the potty. I'm not ready to potty train, but his insistence has led me to occasionally sit him down on the toilet (fully diapered and clothed). His comment? "Oh no...no sound. Potty needs batteries." What is it with boys and potty sounds???

Look Out!

From our brother-in-law:

This morning when our birthday boy, 3 year old B, came downstairs he was greeted by G (our 5 year old), exclaiming, "B, it's your birthday!" B stopped in his tracks and with a concerned look on his face he looked around the room and asked, "Whewr? Whewr? Whewr's my birfday?"
