Cole is turning into quite the jokester.  On our last trip to Louisiana, on our way through Junction City with heavy road construction in the area, he said:

C: I know why they call it Junction City.

Me: why, son?

C: cause its full of junk (apologies in advance to the Junction City lovers/dwellers down there)

David has a bit of a stubborn streak (I know, go figure). He refuses to talk to his traveling-salesman-daddy on the phone at night.  The other day, cole promised me that he would get david to talk to his dad.  David took the phone and the following transpired:  

David: good nite dad. I wub you.

Paul: good night david. I love you too.

David: (handing phone over with one hand and holds up 5 fingers with other) and loudly screams:

I WANT MY 5 M’S NOW! (m&m’s for you uninitiated)

Paul: (stunned silence for about 10 seconds). a bribe?

• Why is six scared of seven? Because seven eight nine (say it out loud folks- it is at least ‘grin’ funny)

David has discovered the joy of having an aunt dee-dee in his life.  She’s my funny friend that absolutely spoils my boys.  Everyone should have an aunt dee-dee.  This morning, after successfully peeing in the potty, david was given his 3 m’s.  2 of them were blue and this conversation ensued:

David: blue m’s! blue m’s!  where’s my aunt dee-dee?

Me:  she’s at work baby big boy.  Why?

David: because blue is auntdeedee’s faborite colow. We sabe them for her.

And just like that folks- he took 2 little tiny blue m&m’s from his chubby little hand and put them on his dresser for his aunt dee-dee. (I wonder if he remembers that my ‘fabowite colow is wred’?)

Lastly, we had the great privilege to interview cole for the quest program at school.  The interview consisted of several questions that he had to answer.  A mere sampling from our resident genius: 

Question 1:

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to go?

Cole: (thinks hard with his ‘thinking face’) ummm, the bowling alley. Oh, yeah, and Disney World too. 

Question 2:

If you could be anybody else for a day, who would you be?

Cole: a dentist

Me: why a dentist? (this was a head-scratcher for me, because truthfully I was expecting optimus prime or wolverine)

Cole: cause they make a lot of money and I like money  

Question 3:

What else do you like to read besides books?

Cole: street signs  

Question 4:

Do you think you’re smart?

Cole: well, yeahhhh  (you folks reading know the tone of voice here)

Me: Why?

Cole: because sometimes I do math problems (big roll of the eyes). Are we done yet?
