Things My Sons Say that Tickle Me

Clark (After I gave him a piece of gum): I thank you for contributing to the well-being of my mouth.

Me (Singing at the top of my lungs and off key): “I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control and I think I like it!”
Isaac (in a deadpan voice): Do you think you could at least TRY to hide it?

***

Clark (Looking in a mirror): I have sexy eyes.
Me: Yes you do.
Clark: I think I must have your eyes because everyone says I do.
Me: Yep, you do.
Clark: That means that your eyes are sexy. (Looks at me) Only yours are all wrinkly.

For Christmas, my husband gave me some vinyl record albums to play on the cool turntable he got me for Christmas last year. One of them is James Taylor's album that was produced in 1976. There's a picture of him on the inside sleeve. When Clark saw it he said, "Who's that? He looks like a scoundrel."
I told him, "James Taylor, and he was a little bit of a scoundrel back then."
After listening to Taylor sing for a couple minutes Clark said, "He sure doesn't sound like a scoundrel."

I'm not real good at remembering the things the kids say that make me laugh, but I've been trying to write them down. I'll add more as I remember.

Davis is the only one of the three that has a cell phone. He got one in November for his 17th birthday. I have a confession....I love him having a cell phone! Sometimes he will send me silly little text messages during the day when he shouldn't be, like when he's in class, but I don't care! I love that he is communicating with me! He writes things that make me laugh, but I don't know that they would come across as very funny if I wrote them in here, but they just delight me.
