The season of giving

Me: (handing a piece of gravel from Grandma's garden to Daddy) This is for your birthday!

Daddy: Thank you.

Me: (handing another piece of gravel to Daddy) And this is for your Christmas time!

Left out

Yesterday I spied a picture of Mommy and Daddy taken in Japan in 1999, but something was amiss. I protested, "They left Nuri at home!"

PB&J

Grandma told me that a baby named "Joey" would be coming to Thanksgiving today. To which I immediately replied, "Peanut butter!"

Christmas guy is coming to town

When Mommy showed me a picture of Santa Claus and asked me who it was, I answered, "Christmas guy!"

Growing up

Today Mommy demanded her morning kiss, but I turned away and scoffed, "I'm too old for that!"

Pumpkin patch fun

Last Saturday was a lovely fall day, so we drove through the Columbia Gorge and stopped off at the pumpkin patch for some fun.

The contrapositive

Mommy tries her best to get me to eat by making logical arguments. Too bad I'm smart enough to play that game as well!

Mommy: Richie, you have to eat so that you can keep growing. Some day you are going to stop growing, and you will be a grown-up.

Richie: So I don't have to eat anymore!
