Josiah Funnies

A few tidbits of hilarity from our oldest child as we near his fourth birthday.

After coming home following one of my Bradley classes, Josiah wanted to hear all about what we did while he was gone.
Josiah: Did you have fun with your teacher friends? (students)
Me: Yes.
Josiah: What did you do? Some wrestling? Tackling?
Me: (Speechless for a moment…) Um, no… we sat and talked about taking care of new babies.

At Christmas, we spent some time discussing showing thankfulness to people who give you a gift, no matter what you think of it, even if it is clothes. I noticed that the lesson seemed to stick when we heard Josiah say, as he opened a shirt from one of his grandmothers, “Wow! This is just what I wanted!”

Josiah loves playing with his Lightning McQueen cars, and recently got The King, whom he refers to as McKing. Get it, McQueen, McKing…

Speaking of cars, we were recently driving and came upon a school zone. I slowed down for the school zone and then even more for some children crossing the street. From the backseat, Josiah asks, “What happened? Did you run out of gas?”

Josiah loves to create things and seems to enjoy more mediums than mere crayons, paints and paper. The latest craze has been scotch tape, which he uses to make all kinds of interesting projects. Here is an example of one I found on the arms of our desk chair, making it into a rocket ship chair complete with buttons on the top. I have no idea what purpose the little man or golf ball serve, but it was a hilarious sight.

While walking through the house wearing my running shoes, I heard Josiah say, “Whew! I’m running a half marathon!”
—————————————————————————–
We were running some errands as a family, and let Thomas out (in the rain) to run into the store to return something.
Josiah: Can I go in there and help Daddy?
Me: No, Josiah. It is raining and he is already in the store.
Josiah: Aw, give me a chance! Come on!

    those are great…my personal favorite is thanking for the clothes…and the one I identify with the most is the “did you run out of gas?” Man, these little boys just always want to go.

    Love it! He is so funny. And, happy birthday to the little man, too. ;)

    Colby says the opposite about his cars: everything with a Mc in it is automatically changed to “The” – so he says “The King” and “TheQueen”. Our nephew McKay is “TheKay”, and he likes to eat at “TheDonalds”. I love little boys!
