Out of the Mouth of Babes

Me: "Wes what do you want for snack? Bagel, apple, pretzels..."
Wes: "How about croutons?"
Me: "Ok whatever" (it had been a LONG day)
[As I'm getting the croutons in a little bowl]
Wes: "Mommy how's the croutons going?"
Me: "Just fine. Here ya go!"
Wes: "Mommy this crouton is you, this one's daddy, and this one looks like Elliott."
Me: "Uh, ok"

Xavier: "Mommy, when me and Wes and Elliott get to be adults and we all go to Starbucks together, would you please order 4 coffees?"
Me: "Why yes I will."


[While I ran in the house to drop off some groceries before going to the park]
Xavier: "Mommy, I'll stay in the car and watch the kids."
Wesley: "We are NOT kids, we are BOYS."

Me: "Wes, where do you want to go today?"
Wes: "To the Waffle House in Atlanta."

Wes: "This chip is broken. I want a fixin one."
[Apparently the opposite of broken is fixin.]

Xavier to Wes: "Wes, what are you doing?"
Wes: "Shhhh....don't talk to me while I'm eating."

Wes: "Mommy what is that?"
Me: "Rubbing Alcohol"
Wes: "Can I rub out the hog too?"

Xavier: "Mommy, um..um..if daddy was putting Elliott to bed and you were outside working on the roof and you fell off the roof, um...that would be an emergency."
Me: "Yes I guess it would."

Wes: "Mommy why is that baby over there crying?" (we were at a restaurant)
Me: "I don't know."
Wes: "Well, why don't you go check it out."
