- You were showing Anthony a trick one day. You asked him which hand the coin was in and then showed him one hand and then the other. The coin wasn’t there. Anthony was pretty excited and asked, “Hey, how’d you do that?” You replied, “A good magician never reveals his secrets.
- One day you were asking so many questions and would just not stop talking. You were interrupting everything I said and just driving me crazy. I finally said, “Enough!” You said, “What, am I just too questiony?”
- You lost your 1st tooth on Saturday, February 21. We were all a little sad and nervous at first and then you were thrilled when you realized you would get money from the tooth fairy. I couldn’t help but laugh at all the questions you had about the tooth fairy though. “Why does she need all those teeth? Is it a girl or a boy? Does she have lots of babies that need teeth or something? Where does she get the money she brings me?” You are so inquisitive!
- You lost your second tooth a week later - two teeth gone before your 5th birthday!
- We bought a little pump to blow up balloons. You were asking me if they were the kind of balloons that would float in the air. I told you no because they only had oxygen in them. You asked me what the floating balloons have in them and I told you helium. You replied, “Oh yeah, Helaman.”
- One day you said, “Mom can you shoot me with those bedtime bullets?” I was only sort of paying attention so you asked again. I finally realized I didn’t know what you were talking about and said, “What do you mean bedtime bullets?” You said, “You know the kind they shoot the bears with.” “Oh tranquilizers? No, I will not shoot you with a tranquilizer before bed.” I guess you really are having a difficult time getting to sleep if you’re asking for a tranquilizer.
- One day you put a cup on your foot and asked if you looked like a pirate. I said yes and you said, “Yeah because I have a peg leg on my foot.”
- You told me you were going to marry Kambrie in the temple and I told you that was a good idea. You said, “Yeah and we’re going to have 15 kids.” Sure, why not?
- Another day you said, “When I grow up to a dad, would you like to meet my kids?” Yep, I’m pretty sure I will. Funny boy, you say the silliest things!
- In church you were learning about prophets and your teacher said, “Dylan, do you think one day you could be a prophet?” You got a serious look on your face and thought for a minute and then replied, “No, I’m just going to be a cowboy when I grow up.”
- I usually bring bread to church since sacrament meeting is during lunchtime. After the sacrament (bread and water) I will get out a little food if you are hungry. One day you were eating your piece of bread and leaned over to me and said, “Mom, guess what. I’m thinking about Jesus while I’m eating this bread.” I told you that was good and gave you a big squeeze and kissed the top of your head. At least you were thinking about Jesus at some point, even if it was the wrong bread. Later you were breaking off pieces of bread to share with Preston and leaned over to me and asked, “Mom, do you think Preston is thinking about Jesus’ skin too?” Cute! I guess flesh and skin are pretty much the same thing to a 5-year-old.
- On your birthday I said, “Yeah, it’s your birthday. Cuantos tenes?” (how old are you) You held up 5 fingers and I said, “Cinco?” (5) “Yeah cinco.” I said, “Wow.” You said, “No mom, you’re supposed to say “no me digas.” (don't tell me that - it basically means I can't believe it) Funny boy! You have no idea how much Spanish you actually know.
- You were telling Anthony, “When I’m 5, you’ll be 4; when I’m 6, you’ll be 5; when I’m 7, you’ll be 6; when I’m 8, you’ll be 7; when I’m 9, you’ll be 8…” and Anthony said, “And then we’ll be teenagers.” I said, “Oh no. Don’t tell me that.” You both giggled and then Anthony said, “Teenagers listen to strange music.” Funny!
- You were telling me about Danimals crush cups and how you crush then slurp them. I told you maybe we’d try them one day when they are on sale. You said, “Yeah, right now they’re just on buy huh?”
- You asked me what a circle and a line meant and drew it in the air to show me. I told you it meant no and asked you if you saw that on the Danimals commercial with a spoon. You said yes. I told you that meant you no spoon was needed to eat it and sometimes you might see that sign with a cigarette behind it which would mean “No smoking”. You just said, “Oh.” The rest of the night every time I asked you something when the answer was no you said, “circle and a line” and drew the sign in the air.
- Your sense of humor is so funny. You try to memorize jokes and share them with others, but you get them all mixed up. You also try to finish the punchline of a joke, but rarely get it right. I taught you the knock knock joke where you say banana a couple of times and then say orange. You finish the joke with “orange you glad I didn’t say banana.” You have turned that into random banana knock-knock jokes. Knock-knock, who’s there, banana Uboldi (giggling at yourself).
- One day I read you a few jokes off of a piece of laughy taffy. One joke said, “What do you call a lazy baby kangaroo?” You thought about it and said, “a hoppy Joe.” Hey at least you try. The answer was really “a pouch potato.” It’ll be interesting to see when you actually start to understand the jokes for real.

He is a sharp one! Just a chip off the old block, eh? What a cutie!
I loved reading that - what a smart, cute little boy you have!! I can relate to them telling jokes all the time that don't make sense. Dallin does that too and thinks he is SO funny. Five year old are so cute because they know just enough to carry on an adult conversation, yet still don't know what half of it really means. Sorry to read about your crappy two weeks :( I hope things are better now. I think you sound like such an amazing mom - your kids are lucky to have you!!
Thanks for the laugh! What a great age.
