Egypt

Beckett:  I wish that I lived in Egypt.  And, that I was already dead.  Then, I could be a mummy!

Tough luck!

Me: Tough luck, little duck!
Beckett: Ugh! I HATE tough luck!!

Telling time

"Oh, Spencer, it's getting really late! You need to get in bed right now!!"
"Mom, it's only 8:10... my bedtime is 8:30."

Why did he have to learn to tell time?!

Sheep

Beckett made a sheep covered in cotton balls at daycare.  When I picked it up out of his cubby, one of the cotton balls fell off.  I told him to pick it up and we could glue it on at home.  He said, "Nah..." and started ripping all of the cotton balls off.  I said, "Beckett!  What are you doing?!"  He said, "It's summer.  This sheep doesn't need his wool anyway." 

Call Me

Me:  ♪ Hey, I just met you... And this is crazy... ♫
Beckett:  ♪  But, here's my number... So call me lazy!  ♫

For all the right reasons...

Beckett:  "Mommy, I love you because you are really super pretty and you have a really cool car!"

Tooth Fairy

Beckett:  How do you think the tooth fairy knows when there is a tooth at our house?  I think she sniffs them like a dog sniffs a bone!

Itch Scratcher

Beckett got a toothbrush today at his dentist visit.  It has a tongue cleaner on the back side.  He was showing it to me, and I asked him if he knew what that was.  He rubbed it on his cheek and said, "Yeah, you use it if have an itch when you are brushing your teeth..." 

Not yet!

Me:  Beckett!  You lost one tooth and you have another wiggly one.  You are growing up!
Beckett:  No, I am NOT growing up.  I am still only five.  Not even five and a half!

It's a secret!

Spencer:  "I will be a secret spy when I grow up!  And, I will write 'I am not a spy' on my car so that people won't know I'm a spy!"

The answer is blowin' in the wind

Beckett just told me, "Mom, I just saw something move in your room, but it must be the wind because the only other things that could have moved it is a monster or an alien and those aren't real, right?"

Video Games

Spencer and Beckett were playing outside. Spencer came in to play a video game. Beckett opened the back door and yelled at him, "Spencer! Playing with our bodies is much better than rotting our brains with video games!!"

You Can Call Me...

"My name is Beckett, so you can call me Beckett most of the time.  But, if you want, sometimes you could call me Indiana Jones.  Or Buster."

What's for supper?

Me:  What did you have for supper tonight?
Beckett:  Well... I don't remember.  What do you see on my face?

Books

Todd was reading a book and got up from his chair. He put the book down, still open but upside down to keep his spot. Spencer said, "That's how I pause my books, too!"

Nightmare

*I woke up this morning to Beckett plastered against the side of my body*

Me:  Beckett, why are you in my bed?
Beckett:  Because I had a nightmare.
Me:  What was it?
Beckett:  A scary nightmare.
Me:  No, I mean, what was scary about it?  Were there monsters?  Snakes?  The first day of kindergarten?
Beckett:  The part that made it scary was the nightmare part.

Um, what?

Beckett:  Spencer, if I let you call me 'White Cheddar Popcorn', can I call you 'Meat Nachos'?

I showed Spencer a picture of himself and said, "You are just so cute!"  He giggled and said, "I REALLY am!"

As we were walking in a parking lot, Beckett said, "Mommy, sometimes when I am at daycare, I step on a crack. But when I come home, your back isn't broken...."

A bomb?

As we were driving down the street following a bicycle with a blinking red tail light, Beckett says, "Mom, I think there is a bomb on that bike because I can see it's blinking red light."

Jacker

Beckett:  Daddy, Spencer says that "jacker" isn't a real word!
Me:  It's not.
Todd:  Well, carjacker is a word...
Beckett:  No, not like that!  Like the song!
Me:  Like what song?!
Beckett:  ♪ I got the moves like Jacker ♫

Spaghetti Bar

Beckett was crying this afternoon.  I asked him what was wrong.  He said that he was sad that Spencer got to have "spaghetti bar" at school and he didn't.  (Spencer was going through his lunch menu to figure out which days he'd take cold lunch.)  He then asked if the spaghetti bar was kind of like a Special K bar.
