Some Ansonisms

Anson definitely keeps life interesting! I don't know what we would do without him! :o)

Today we were coming home from running errands and Anson was telling me how hungry he was. I started to name off the things I was going to fix him for lunch and one of the items was a vegetable. He said, "No thank you, I don't think I want any peas." So of course I went on to tell him that if he didn't eat his peas he wouldn't grow big and strong. He thought for a quick second and said,"That's OK Mommy, I'll just stay a little boy!" He always seems to be one step ahead of me!

And yesterday we had to drive about an hour away to run an errand for Dusty. We passed a Bass Pro Shops on the interstate and Anson said "Look Mommy! It's a fish mall!! Can we go there?" Now, what mother can resist a request to go to the mall?? Not this one! So I told him we could go on our way home. ... So on our way home I started to take the exit for the mall and he said, "Where are we going?" When I told him we were going to the "fish mall", he said "Jumpin' Jimminy, we're goin' to the fish mall!!!" I could not stop laughing! He told me that Wally the Walrus on Woody Woodpecker says "Jumpin' Jimminy" and then he said it for 5 minutes straight!

Then on our way home from the mall, he was very quiet which is quite rare. Out of the blue he asked, "If you are Daddy's wife, where's my wife?" :o) After laughing again, we had our first talk about marriage... it went something like this: One day, when you're at least 30, you will find a special girl who loves God and whom Mommy and Daddy love, oh, and you'll love her too... You get the point! :o)

Just wanted to write these down before I forget!
