Carter Says

Carter has turned into a hilarious kid.  I'm always kicking myself for not writing down the funny things he says.  But in the last couple of months I've finally written down a few.  And I wish I had done that more because these definitely aren't the best ones.

The boys and I were talking about superheroes in the car one day.  I believe Carter thinks superheroes are like dinosaurs.  They are something we see on tv or books but don't see in real life, and I think he believes they exist somewhere.

C: "Supermen aren't around anymore.  Maybe they are in Spanish."

(We practice Spanish words all the time and I guess he thinks "Spanish" is a physical place.)

Carter went to a Build-A-Bear birthday party in December.  On the way to the party he told me this ...

C: "Mommy, mine might be silly or like me. Silly or cool."

***************

Asking Carter what we should get Brian for Christmas ...

C: "Let's get him a gift card for his favorite place."
Me:  "Where is that?"
C: "We should ask him but not tell him.  Hmmm.....  How about work.  Or his favorite place is being around us."

The other day I went into Ross with the boys for a few minutes.  While I was looking at the workout clothes, the boys were standing at one of the mirrors at the end of the rack.  Then I hear Carter saying this (and Rylan repeating it) ...

C: "Hey good looking!"

The people around us started chuckling and the boys continued saying it for a few minutes.

Yesterday morning the boys were getting their shoes and jackets on before school.  Carter was acting silly, putting his shoes on the wrong feet, etc.  Then he says, very matter-of-factly ...

C: "Crazy stuff is my thing."
