So my kid says the funniest things…
Dec 7th, 2006 by Beth
You know, sometimes I just have to bite my lip to keep from laughing out loud at some of the things my youngest son (age 13) says. He’s quite dramatic and never does anything halfway. For example, yesterday I told him to grab the Swiffer and go over the hardwood floors in his bedroom. So, armed with his “weapon”, he attacks his room and in a low, growly voice says “Die!! you dusty demons!!!!”
He has also gotten into the habit of telling someone not that they are crazy, but that they are “clersy.” I have no idea where that came from.
He has always had quite an extensive vocabulary but sometimes he doesn’t quite get the word he really needs. For example:
While waiting for his food to come at Ole Country Smokehouse: “Mine will probably take a little while longer because it’s busy meditating (i.e. marinating).”
After picking up a sausage biscuit at the McDonald’s drive thru one morning: “Mmmm… the fragment (fragrance) of that biscuit sure is smelling up the car good!”
At the climbing center where he was urging one of his friends on: “Mom, I expired (inspired) him to reach the top of the tallest wall!”
And my most recent favorite, at a first-aid demonstration during the last Boy Scout Court of Honor: “Dude, you need to levitate (elevate) that leg.”
Have I mentioned that he can also perfectly imitate the voice of Elmo? Aah, his many talents.
