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.

I've been awful...

Which is very sad, because P has been HILARIOUS. He thinks he's so grown up. I'm going to try harder to update...promise

In the meantime, here is a picture from his hour at school with me this afternoon. It's the second time in 2 weeks he's been able to come and hang out before Albert picks him up. We went to the "big room" (Palo Duro Lounge) and he looks at me and says, "wanna continue talking about halloween?" I was confused, because we hadn't mentioned halloween the entire time, so I asked him what he meant. Eye roll, "Mom, we talked about it in this room last time. Wanna talk about it some more? Go ahead. You start."

Uh, okay.

Quote of the month...

"because I'm almost 5, mom."

Variation: "I am grown up, I'm about to be 5, mom. Five is grown up."


His birthday is in June.

Krispie Kreme Donuts

P: Mom, we should go to Krispie Kreme. (The same statement I get every morning we pass it.)

Me: You should tell grandma to take you to Krispie Kreme.

P: No mom, we should go as a family. We should all go and get donuts. Because you have to go, and you have to wait outside for a long time, and then, when they turn on the light it tells you 'Come and get them, they're hot donuts' and you go in and you get a donut.

Me: P, you should really ask grandma. I don't even really like Krispie Kreme donuts.

P: (in the exact tone I use) Mom, you should really try things, you never know what you're missing.

Me: Oh, well, if I try Krispie Kreme are you going to start trying the things I ask you to try?

P: Mom, Krispie Kreme is sooooo good. And it's just krispies and kreme. Because, you see, they take the kreme, and they melt it and then they pour it over the krispie. See? It's so good, and they cook the donuts and they pour the melted kreme over the donuts and then, after a while it gets all krispie and then you have Krispie Kreme! And it's really good, and you should try just a tiny bite because you will like it because it's just krispie and kreme.
