Shawn is very proud of his new trick!

Things My Children Have Said

Shawn: "mom, why is there a fire in the oven?" Completely calm while I panic and throw baking soda everywhere...
Shawn in the public restroom with me--"Mommy, you go poop! Yeah!" * thoroughly embarrassed at every store in the county!*
Haley--"Grandma, this week you can call me Gordon."
Shawn--"Mommom, you go away." Shawn caught raiding the cookie jar.
Haley-- "Mom hurry! We can't be late for my Dance Recycle!"
Haley---"I don't think I'll have a baby, I don't like to throw things up, and a baby is too big."
Haley--"Does anyone want a turn walking Shawn?" As she holds Shawns "leash" at the zoo.
Shawn 2--"This is tasty!"
Shawn 2--Yelling at his friend in church..."mama! I go to Kelvins! My Brother! My sister!" (believes he belongs in their family!)
Haley 6--Writing in a notebook.."Mommy, this is my diarrhea.." Mom--Don't you mean Diary? Haley--"No... Diarrheal."
Haley--6--"Mark, remember that movie, you know 'Michael Jackson and the Lightening Thief'?"
Haley, 6, listening to the radio about the House being in session. It said, "After tomorrow the house will leave for thanksgiving." Haley exclaimed, "The House is leaving! Where will we live!"
Shawn, age 2, when seeing snow for the first time, "Snow! Look Chickens Flying!"
Shawn to me when I'm bending over..."Oh NO! Your Undies!" At this he pulls my shirt down to meet my pants...yikes!
Shawn, "Sheet Down!" translation: (sit down!) to just about everyone standing.
Haley-"Mom, why can't other people hear the music in my head?"
Shawn..."What doin' yodi (jodi)" and any answer is "Yep" or "Nope"
Haley in the pitch black Redwood Forest, "I am totally freaked out!"
Shawn--looking at the Lewis and Clark statue in Seaside--"Dada!"
Shawn--looking at a man in the next campground with long brown hair and a beard--"Jesus!"
Marky--his first day of baseball, "Mom, why do I have to run around the bases, it seems dumb if I end up where I started!"
Marky--"I was playing rock, paper, scissors and Shawn cheated!"
Haley and Mark talking on the "Phone" (hands in ears) Haley--Helllo...is this Mark? Marky--No this is Brad....silence..Haley--Brad who?
Marky--"You know, in kindergarten Kashia really liked me....but we seperated in the first grade, she's in another class. Now Megan thinks I'm cute...Meeeeeggannn....ahhhhh she's cute. giggle"-heheheh
Marky after doing me a favor, "Yeah, I know I'm good. I just can't help it!"
Haley to Shawn, "You just don't understand!"
Mark and Haley Playing, Mark: "Haley, I am Harry Potter. (pointing stick at Haley) SILENCIO!" ..Haley just stares at him, Mark :"Good, now you can't talk." He goes on reading.
Mark--drawing a picture--"Look mom, these are fierce landscapers, they hunt birds and deer!" I reply.."Landscapers?" he says, "Yes! You know those people who hunt!"
Mark--"Mom, did you know that this used to be a lake?(salt flats) And if it were still here we'd all be under water? Wierd!"
Shawn--"What's this?" --to just about everything...;)
Haley, "Mom, I want to change my middle name to Ginger." -huh?
Driving down the highway(maybe in the twilight zone), listening to the news on the radio with my kids I started when suddenly it cracked then went silent. A voice came over the radio and said "Erin, Erin are you there?" Mark exclaimed. Mom! The car's talking to you.
Mark explaining to Haley what happens in a cemetery, "You die, then they bury you in a box, then you turn to dust, but you don't mind because your brain is in heaven!"

Haley about automatic flushing toilets at the zoo, "Those toilets freak me out mom!"
Haley during a prayer, "Please bless the baby in mommy's tummy that it is a girl!" (I am NOT pregnant)
I was rushing Haley home, she asked why so I told her I had to use the restroom. She replied, "Don't tell me...I'm not your mommy!"
Haley, telling Mark where babies come from, " A Mommy and Daddy get married and have a baby! Then they get married again and have another baby!"

Some of my Favorite Quotes
