In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Elijah’s Quote of the Day

Filed under: Elijah, Kid Quote — Rachel at 10:23 am on Friday, May 11, 2007

I need to set up this quote, so that you get the full effect.

Elijah was walking across the living room with two Vienna sausages in his hands and one Vienna sausage on his shoulder. Yes. I said “one Vienna sausage on his shoulder”. He thought it was very funny. He came over to the chair I was sitting in laughing his little head off.

I said to him, “You’re a strange little boy.”

He looked at me, grinned even wider, and said, “You’re fat.”

From anyone else, I would have been very offended. From him, however, I just laughed. He then told me I had a fat belly, fat eyes, a fat nose, and fat overalls. I promise you, I’m not wearing overalls.

My original statement still stands. He’s a strange little boy.

hmmmm…. at this stage in pregnancy, I would have been very offended. I probably would have cried. = ) You’re right, he is a strange little boy.

Aren’t little ones hysterical?! I know that Devyn cracks me up all the time! I just can’t wait to see how Hudson’s personality is going to turn out!

Oh, that is so. funny. I spilled my tea a little bit! :) I love the sense of humor children – and especially boys – have! I write about those things on my blog “Isms”. Just recording those silly things they say!
