A quote
"Where's your shirt, Stephen?"
"It got all sticky with my popsicle, Mom. I just want to wear my belly."

Kidspeak
On the way home from this family reunion thing Sunday afternoon I wasn't feeling very good. I mostly tried to doze away the trip. Stephen napped the first half, but then felt quite chatty once he woke up. I don't know if anybody else's kids do this, but Stephen can be quite chatty and literally not have anything to say. He'll sit down in front of me and say, "Mommy let's talk. Whatcha wanta talk about?"
Most of the conversation that was directed at me was answered by monosyllabic type grunts. (If I'm 'gaggy' I generally clench my teeth and greatly prefer not to talk) This was not satisfying Stephen. He kept saying Mommy. And I would grunt with a questioning sound back. No response. Over and over again.
Finally he got exasperated (I was too at this point because if he really had something to say then just say it already.) And this is what he told me, "Mommy, sometimes God gives us voices."

a little mixed up, but right on
Stephen came in here as I was writing the other posts and had a sip of my Diet Dr. Pepper. Finally, I snagged it back and told him to go. He did, but then popped back in a minute later and asked if he could have something to drink. I followed him to the kitchen and asked him what he wanted. His answer, "Dr. Coke."

My life in a nutshell
This morning while sitting on the barstool watching me cook his eggs and sausage, Stephen asked me where we were going today. "School, church, Ma-mart? Which one? Let's go to Ma-mart, kay?"
There ya go, my life in a nutshell: School, church, Wal-mart.
