Dylanisms

Here are some more of the latest and greatest sayings from my little monkey (again written for him).  

• This fall, you were playing soccer and I was playing church volleyball.  You've become quite aware of healthy food and exercising lately.  We were eating dinner and you said, "This food is for jugadores de futbol (soccer players). But not for you, Mommy.  You don't play futbol."  Then you thought for a minute.  "I guess it's for bally ball players too."  
• You were asking me what the hard bump on your wrist was one day.  I told you it was a bone.  You said, "Mom, I just want to see my bones.  What are they made out of, nails or something?"  
• One day you were thinking and said, "Hey Mommy, who guided us when Jesus died?"  I love when you have spiritual questions for me.  
• You love the song Bear Necessities from The Jungle Book.  There is a line that says "forget about your worries and your strife" but you like to sing it "forget about your worries and your sprite."  Oh and there's no use correcting you when you think you know the lyrics to a song.  It's best just to let you sing them your own way.  It's pretty cute to listen to your interpretation of song lyrics.  They're always interesting.  
• You asked me to go with you to the basement to get some ice cream.  I wasn't jumping at your command and you finally looked at me and said, "Mom, stop dawdling."  Papi couldn't believe you knew the word dawdle.  You're such a smartie pants!
• One day I was being kind of silly and said, "Hey boyfriend, what you doing?"  I should've known you'd take it literally.  You looked at me and said, "Yeah, Mommy, you're my girlfriend, huh?"  
• The night we went to the pumpkin patch, you knew Anthony would be there too.  You kept looking for him, but couldn't find him.  I was busy trying to get some food and you finally did not want to be ignored anymore.  In a very concerned voice you came up to me and said, "Mommy, I can't find Anthony.  You have to help me look for him.  He's kind of a brownish color."  It was so cute!
• You were trying to spell boo and saying it out loud, "B-O-O" but your "b" looked more like a "p".  I told you that didn't spell boo and you said, "What does it spell then?"  I couldn't lie to you so I responded, "Poo."  You started laughing, put your cute little hand on my shoulder and said, "Mommy, that's hilarious."  
• You asked me if I knew what tannerize meant.  I said no and you responded, "It means to choke."  I have no idea where that came from.
• Anthony makes a kind of grinding noise with his voice when he eats.  I think it must've gotten him attention when he was younger and now it's a habit.  One day it was bothering you and you said, "Don't eat like that Anthony?  Why do you do that?"  Anthony said, "But I have to."  You responded in a concerned tone, "Oh you do?  Why, because the food it too sugary?"  
• One day you were talking about where everyone was from.  You said, "Mommy's from Salt Lake, Papi's from Argentina, and I'm from Salt Lake City."  Papi asked you where Preston was from.  You said, "Oh, he's from heaven."
• I came home from the gym and was trying to get a drink.  You wanted my attention and apparently I wasn't giving it to you.  You went back to Papi and said, "Mommy always never listens to me."  
• One day we were driving past a little farm that has emus.  You said, "Mommy, do emus 'moo'?"
• I told you we were going to Tony's stake center for his baptism.  You asked me what a stake center was.  I tried to explain the difference between a ward and a stake building.  You said, "Yeah, it's like a mistake.  The mistake center."  
• Were we rolling balls around in the family room one morning and we couldn't find the tennis ball.  You started looking for it and said, "Where is that tennis ball?  It couldn't have gone far.  Tennis balls don't walk.  I hope the ants didn't carry it away."
