Well....he gets in the car with me and looks over with the most serious face and says "Mom ? Can I tell you something?" I'm like ...."of couse honey - what do you want to tell me" ?
he said in this somber voice..."I'm so glad you named me Reid and not Richard"
so I asked "Why are you so glad ?" and he says..." I just am"
I had to hold in my laughter cause I knew exactly what he was trying to tell me and no way was he going to say the D word in front of mommy  |
Got another - this time my youngest......(the above was my oldest)
You know the saying -
TAKE A LONG WALK OFF A SHORT PIER"
One day my boys were scrapping over something.....my youngest (about 6 at the time) with the maddest huffy face he could muster .....screamed to his older brother .....
TAKE A
SHORT WALK OFF A
LONG PIER !
and went stomping off.....
My oldest and I fell out - which made him even madder cause we were laughing
Both my kids who are now grown remember it like it was yesterday....and we still say it to each other
