Funniest Moments of 2010

Here's a random grouping of funny things the kids said this last year.  I'd like to give a special Thanks to Facebook for being the unexpected source of documenting some of the funniest (who knew Facebook was useful for something besides cleverly stealing mindless minutes away from us)....and a special No Thanks to my iPhone for making it all too easy for my Blog Notes section to get deleted by a curious child.

Natalie:  Mom, I want a little sister.
Mom:  Well, sweetie, that's probably not going to happen.
Natalie:  Why, mom?  I really want one.
Mom:  Well, I think Mom and Dad have their hands full with the 3 of you.  I don't think we're going to have another baby.
Natalie:  (Indignantly) You don't KNOW that.  It's not your choice, it's God's!


Ty:  Mom, when are they going to make picture waffles again?
Mom:  (remembering all the fights about who was going to get which waffle, and thankful they don't make them anymore) I don't know, honey.  I keep checking, but they haven't had them in awhile.
Natalie:  That's so weird.  They made them when the boys were little, but now they don't.
Nate:  Maybe if you have another baby, they will make them again.

Nate:  Mom, when are they going to make picture waffles again?  (this comes up at least once a month)
Mom:  I don't know.  It's been at least a year since they've made them.
Nate:  Maybe when you get another baby.
Mom:  Well, maybe.  But what if I don't get another baby?
Nate:  I want you too.
Mom:  Well, do you think when Jesus gave us two of you at the same time, he thought we had a full family?
Nate:  (Not hearing a word I said) Maybe you can get one for Christmas.  Put it on your Christmas List!

One evening, I was playing with Natalie and she informed me she was a worrier.  When I asked her what kinds of things she worries about, she replied (very matter of factly) "Um, things like fire drills and fires.  Dad going to jail, you going to jail".

One evening Kevin and I got home from having dinner to find Natalie waiting up.  When I saw her getting ice cream, she looked up at me guiltily and asked if she could have some.  When I asked her if Dad said it was OK, she replied "Yeah, but I thought I should ask you too since you're the responsible one."

Beyonce, Carrie Underwood and Demi Lovato....here you go.  You're welcome.  We'd like 50% of the cut.
Nathan mixing his favorite songs together:  "Jesus Take the Wheel.  Oh yeah.  We can't back down.  Oh yeah.  Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh" (from Beyonce's 'If you like it then you better put a ring on it').

One day after listening to Carrie Underwood's Jesus Take the Wheel:
Nate:  Mommy, why did Jesus take the wheel?
After a full explanation of what the song means....
Nate:  Is Jesus Carrie Underwood's Dad?
Huh?  I went wrong somewhere in my explanation.

Another day after listening to Carrie Underwood's Jesus Take the Wheel:
Ty:  Is Jesus mean?
Mom:  No.  Why do you ask that?
Ty:  Then why did Jesus take the wheel?
Clearly, this song perplexes them. 

Mom:  Where are Sam and Puddles?  You haven't been playing with them much anymore.  (These are his two favorite stuffed animals).
Nate:  That's because when I wake them up, they so gwumpy and need more sleep.
Hmmm....where has he heard that before?

One night in bed, Natalie just started chattering about a little boy she knows.  I just sat there and listened, and it must have gone on for at least 10 minutes.  Unfortunately, it was one of the stories on my iPhone that didn't survive the wandering fingers of a curious 7 year old.  So, this isn't exact and not nearly as detailed as she was but it's the overall idea.  Oh, and she pretty much said all this without taking a breath.
"Mom, I really love Jack.  Do you think he loves me too?  I mean, he's REALLY funny.   He says the funniest things.  And Anna thinks there's a chance he likes me too.  Do you think there's a chance?  Oh, I REALLY hope we go to the same college someday.  But what if we don't?  Like Troy and Gabriella (from the movie High School Musical) went to different colleges.  Troy chose Gabriella over basketball.  I mean, he chose basketball too but only because he found a school close to Gabriella because he's so devoted to her."

So the rest of this post isn't really funny stories and may be completely boring to anyone who doesn't know Nathan and Tyler.  But one of my favorite things as a mom is the cute ways the kids say words before they learn the correct pronunciation.  Natalie is pretty much at the age that she says everything right....and frequently chooses to coach the boys on the right way to say things (she actually taught them the right way to say girl).  But the boys, at 4 1/2 still say quite a few things wrong.  And I love it.....because it means they're still babies, right?
