The funnies

I generally try to jot down the funny things the boys say. I just want to remember those little moments forever. Many of the comments come at a time when I need to be serious with them, it takes all of my being not to crack up.
They make my life so interesting!

Here are a few the latest:

Upon listening to Maks ramble on, non stop for 25 minutes in the car, Alek says, “I liked him better when he couldn’t talk”.

Upon telling Alek that “God only knows where your Bakugan’s are”, he says, well how can we ask God to tell us their location.

Me: Maks do not climb up the outside of the stairs”, Maks: “I be careful”, crash, bang, Maks: “I ok, I ok mom”.

Maks upon trying to pour his own syrup, “I do it myself, I wont spill”, all the syrup spills on the table, Maks: Sorry mom, I will lick it all up.

Upon telling Alek he did a great job following the directions for the Bendaroos. He says, yes, I am good at directions, that is all I need to follow directions, I just need direction mom.

Maks trying to convince a little boy who is black that he really is asian. The boy was not happy with him. Maks continuing to tell the little boy he can’t be Alek’s best friend because he is.

Telling Maks and Alek that they will be having a babysitter tonight, Maks says, when is the baby coming out of your belly? I ask him what he means, he says, the baby in your belly that Miss Jessie is coming to watch.

Maks at water park looking this little boy up and down, I am worried about what he is going to say. He says, what is that in your ear? The boys says it is an earring. Maks says, but you not a girl. The boy says, well boys can wear earrings too. Maks says, not they don’t and the boy says, well where I come from they do and Maks says, well where I live they don’t. Fascinating conversation.

Upon reprimanding Alek for smacking Maks, he explains, but mom, sometimes uuhhhh he just frustrates me so much, well, well, my hands they just think for themselves and I can’t control it.

Finding Maks climbing and hanging on furniture at beach house, Maks how many times have I told you you are not allowed to do that. Maks: 200 times mom.

I hear Alek yelling for Maks to come to the bathroom, Maky, maky, you have got to see this!! I follow close behind unsure of what I will find. Alek says to Maks, you wont believe the size of my poop it takes up the whole toilet, check it out! Maks says, wow Alek that’s cool, can I try? I removed them from the bathroom.

Upon finding Maks shoving a lego up his nose, he explains that Alek told him if he did it he would give him a matchbox car. I shudder to think of what other dares are to come.

Maks constantly asking me when he is a teenager can he have a motorcycle.

Alek informing me he wants to marry me and Keke, and Annabelle and Isabelle and Hannah and we will all live together here in this house forever and he adds it will be nice that I will be there to read books to them at night. I love the innocence of childhood!

Maks telling me that when he is a teenager he is getting a motorcycle and a monster truck and will give me a ride. I wonder if this is just a glimpse into teenage life with Maks. God I hope not!


They are so fascinating to me, never a dull moment for sure!

I laughed the first time I read this, but now it's crackin' me up. (I love Alek's explanation for hitting Maks...sounds about right to me!) Oh, and I'm REALLY glad Alana didn't go to the bathroom with them.

It has a whole new meaning after you meet them!! Definitely for future, we will keep Alana out of the restroom with them or she will learn a whole new set of tricks!
