The things they say...

Situation 1:

Adam was talking to Charlie about his upcoming trip to Nonnie's house. Adam said to Charlie that he might get to see Santa at Gilroy Gardens.

Charlie: "I like that Jolly Old Elf!"

Situation 2:

We have been taking night walks a few times a week. The kids and I get bundled up and walk into the cold, rainy night. We leave Adam at home cuddled up to his ipad. Every time we venture into the night I hear things like: "Mommy, we are so lucky...most people are sleeping, but here we are walking outside!" Of course it is 6:30 but I nod...yes honey you are so lucky because most people are already in bed. Two nights ago we were walking admiring all the xmas lights and we came across a strange large santa...very large. I said, "Hmmm Santa looks wierd."

Kate: "Don't worry mommy. He is just a big dude."

Next one:

A few weeks ago my dad injured his back attempting to break up a fight at the ranch (where he works). He was telling me the entire story and at the end Kate said, "Pa...did you get your gun and shoot them?" I guess you had to be there. My dad works at a rehabilitation facility for troubled men....but he does not carry a gun. We got a good laugh.

Next one:

Charlie; "Hey daddy...Fuck and Duck rhyme."

Adam: Taking a deep breath and trying hard not to break into a laugh "Yes, charlie they do rhyme, can you find another work that rhymes with duck..."

They say the most incredibly funny things daily, but my mind isn't as sharp as it usually is. I forget everything lately....which is a shame....
