Recent Funny #2

Preston went for his 5 year check up on Tuesday. He had been freaking out for a week anytime it was mentioned because he didn't want any shots. On Tuesday, he forgot about the doctor and thought I was picking him up for one of our dates. You can imagine his dismay.

So, I had to drag him, literally, out of the car. Drag him into the building. Drag him into the office. Threaten to beat him senseless if he opened that door and took off running. Drag him into the back when they called his name.

The nurse did a great job of calming him down as she weighed and measured him. I thought we were past the panic, because he was laughing and cutting up with her. That's when she said, 'Okay Preston, follow me" and headed left. Preston calmly turned right, and walked back to the front office, and headed for the door. Where I caught him and drug him back to the back.

She caught us in the hall and assured him he didn't need any shots. He was fine after that.

Preston was playing with my phone about a week ago, when he notified me that I needed to "get a phone that you can do this" - and demonstrated rubbing his thumb up the side of my Blackberry screen. "You can even TOUCH THE SCREEN, Mom!"

He's going to die when his aunt get's her new iPhone.

Not much funny...

So, I haven't posted in a while. There isn't much "funny" going around our house right now. I'm sure there actually IS, but Preston and I are, and have been, at a difficult cross-road and I haven't been paying as much attention to the funnies. I realize that means there is probably an even BETTER reason to post. I, however, have told Albert a number of times that I resign from parenting - so maybe it's HIS job to post. For now.

Preston turned 5 on Sunday. I can't believe it. I'll post the few recent funnies today...if you're not me, he's still the most adorable sweetheart ever.

Me: do you know what "infinity" actually means?

P: It's God's number.

Easter

The Easter bunny brought Preston some Ben 10 "action fingers."

Good Friday

P: Mom, how did Miss Holly know that today would be a good Friday?

The Cool Guy Club

So Albert and I have this thing (inside joke, I guess) with my brother-in-law and his wife about calling each other the cool guy whenever someone screw something up. For example: "Man, you guys are late!" will be responded to as "thanks to the COOL GUY" and point to...Ruben, usually. It's possible you won't get how incredibly funny all of this actually is, but I know at least 3 other people out there that will think it's the funniest thing on the planet...so I deemed it blog-worthy.

Anyway, it's an ongoing joke; except, I don't think I realized how OFTEN we said it, until after this conversation Wednesday afternoon.

P and his best friend are in the back seat discussing a Capt. America comic book I got at the Air Force base, when I hear Preston say that they gave it to him. So, I turned around to interceed in the conversation:

Me: They gave it to WHO?

P: Me...the cool guy.
