Connor: (singing to Ethan to the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town") "You better not cry, you better not cry, you better not cry. I'm telling you why. The Easter Eggs are coming to town."
Why do they call it the Easter Bunny if we look for eggs?
Lori: That's a very good question. What do you think?
Connor: Then they should call it The Easter Chicken! ... No, wait. A bunny has hands so they can pick up the eggs. Easter Bunny is ok.
Connor is singing "Old McDonald" to Ethan, trying to make him laugh. He comes up with several new verses.
Old McDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
And on that farm he had a:
1. Dog
2. Frog
3. Log
4. Car
5. TV
6. Pillowfight
Connor and I were talking about family names this morning.
Lori: Papaw Chris's name is Christopher Carwin.
Connor: That sounds like Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh or The Tigger Movie
Lori: Uncle Don's name is Donald Christopher.
Connor: Well, that sounds like Donald Duck!
Connor: "Dad, can I say the F-word now?"
Jason: "Ok, now you can."
Connor: "Full! I am Full!"
Connor came to a part in the book where Ant planted some seeds. He showed me the picture on the page and named all the different foods.
"Tomatoes, carrots, beets, lettuce, and eggplant. Did you know I knew about eggplant? I learned it from when Dad was on his computer and would farm and feed those animals. He had eggplant on there."
(referring to FarmTown)
Connor came home with a book to read for class. As he was reading the title, he said, "It says 'Grasshopper' but it looks like 'Grass-Shopper.'"
After he said something clever, Connor said, "Are you going to put that in my blog?"
Connor was wearing his new socks inside out. When he took them off to fix them, he saw he had fuzz in between his toes. He said, "I'm cleaning the earwax out of my toes!"
In the middle of a conversation with a friend...
Greyson: Well, go ask your mom if you can.
Connor: She won't let me. If I ask my dad, he won't let me. Ethan won't let me and he doesn't know anything. The dogs won't let me because they can't talk. And I can't let myself because I'm not the boss of me.
Connor came up with the idea that when he is older, he will own a movie theater. But it is not an ordinary theater. It will have many restaurants that you can eat before or after the movie. He wants to have a Mexican restaurant. Also a Gamestop, hair gel store, seafood, McDonalds, PetSmart, Newks, a pharmacy, and a Walmart. BUT, it's not going to be a mall.
Connor: Did you know that spiders aren't insects?
Lori: I did. Do you know what they are?
Connor: They are 'a rat'...something.
After watching a commercial for Midol.
Connor: I need some of that.
Lori: <laughing> Why would you need some?
Connor: Because I get cramps sometimes.
We are going to eat lunch at Newk's to see Dad (Jason). Connor is playing his DS in the backseat. I tell him that we will be there in about 30 seconds. He says, "Well, I suggest I get to playing!"
Connor and his friend Greyson had a conversation about the recent power outage.
Connor: The power was out at my house after that tornado. Was the power out at your house?
Greyson (who is his next door neighbor): It was out at my house, too! Devin and Ashley came over.
Connor: I wasn't home when the tornado came. I was at My Misty's house.
Greyson: I have a Misty, too! My aunt Misty.
Connor: My Misty has 3 kids. She has Paylin, which is short for Pay-Pay. And Hunter and Maddy Maw.
Connor tripped over a pair of shoes that were on the floor. As he caught his balance, he exclaimed, "Boy, I have Jell-o legs tonight!"
