Special Dreams

The boys got Christmas cards today that say, "...and may your special dreams come true!"  I read it out loud and Beckett said, "My special dream is for a talking dog, like Martha Speaks!"

Sorry, buddy, but that special dream probably isn't coming true...

Beckett just handed me a tube of go-gurt and said, "Can the grown-up girl in this family please open this for me?!"

Breakfast

This morning, Beckett was hiding something behind his back and has s smudge of chocolate on his face.  So, I asked, "Beckett?  Did you eat a piece of candy?!  We do not eat candy for breakfast!"  He replied, "Mom, it wasn't for breakfast.  It was just for FUN."

Beckett:  ♪ We wish you a merry Christmas!  We wish you a merry Christmas!  We wish you a merry Christmas-- and a happy HALLOWEEN!!  ♫

Turkey

"Are you going to eat a lot of turkey tomorrow?"

Spencer:  I am going to eat turkey tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll eat a lot.  I don't know how hungry I'll be yet.

Skeletons

Beckett:  People are really just skeletons with skin on top. 

Foss

Beckett:  What does "foss" mean?
Me:  I don't know what you mean.  Can you use it in a sentence?
Beckett:  What dos "FOSS" mean?!
Me:  Beckett, I need you to say it in a sentence so I can figure it out.
Beckett:  Mommy!  "What does 'foss' mean?" IS a sentence.

Touche, Beckett.  Touche.

Just a trick?

I was lying in bed with Beckett, trying to get him to go to sleep.  I said, "Beckett, I need to go down and switch the laundry.  I will come back in a little bit."  He said, "Mommy?  Are you going to trick me when you say you are coming back?"

Invisible Ramp

From upstairs, I hear a thud and then crying.  Beckett told me that he had fallen onto the Lego bucket.  I said, "Beckett, your bed is way over there and the Lego bucket is way over here.  If you had been in your bed, you wouldn't have gotten hurt."  Spencer then pipes up from his bed and says, "Well, actually, Beckett built an invisible ramp and rolled down the ramp onto the Lego bucket."

Yeah, I'm sure that's what happened.

Tricked ya!

Beckett *walking down the stairs, supposed to be in bed*:  Mommy!  I have something very, very important to tell you!
Me:  What is it?
Beckett:  Remember in the Transformer movie when-
Me:  That doesn't sound very important to me!
Beckett:  Tricked ya!  Remember in the Transformer movie when...

Germs

Beckett stayed home sick today.  On the way home from picking Spencer up at school, I was asking Spencer what we can do to try to stay healthy.  He said, "Don't cough on people."  I said, "Yeah, what else?"  He said, "JUMP AWAY from people who are coughing!!!"

Ears

I just asked Beckett a question.  He didn't answer.  I asked again.  He still didn't answer.  I said, "Beckett!  You aren't answering my question!"  He said, "Sorry, my ears are turned off right now."
