November Ellie-isms & Zach Attacks
December 1, 2009
It’s the first of the month! Time for the previous month’s best kid quotes. ENJOY!
——–
Zach: “Barnes and Noble makes me happy.”
Me, trying to catch a housefly: “Where’s the fly?”
Zach: “I don’t know. I was clapping, but he didn’t come to me.”
Ellie, as we drive past the Nabisco factory: “Mommy, what is that wonderful smell? I (sniff) … I just (sniff) … I just CAN’T STOP SMELLING IT!!”
Zach: “Mommy, I like your nails. They’re good at opening things! And they’re part of your body. I guess that means I like your body.”
Ellie, singing: “I know God the bellybutton!” (This is from VeggieTales’ silly song in which Larry, Mr. Lunt, Jerry and Jimmy pretend to be N’Sync and lament “I don’t got a bellybutton!”)
Me, pointing to jelly on Zach’s bare chest: “What’s that?
Zach, pointing to his nipple and speaking to me in a very “Duh, Mom!” tone: “That’s my dark skin button.”
Zach: “Her was talking so loudly that all of my thinkings went out of my head! And now I have no thinkings.”
Ellie has been making up worship songs and memory verses lately. Here are a couple of the “memory verses.”
“Thank God for the things He does. Ellie 56:1:233″
“Be great to others and good to yourself. Ellie 4:92″

I had such a good chuckle over these comments at work today. Thank you! I just love the way Ellie and Zach see life and put words to it!

I am sitting in the back room of the Mountaintop Cafe with my computer and just read this – - – it was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud! These precious grandchildren that Mary Jo and I share are absolutely WONDERFUL – - and have such great imaginations! I love seeing the world through their eyes! Of course, like Mary Jo, I too am prejudice! Only a ‘little’ – hahaha
