Owenisms

Here are just a few funny recent Owenisms...

1. Owen: I wish I was a grown-up so I could say when I would do stuff and where I could go.
Me: Yeah- that's pretty nice
......long pause.......
Owen: When I'm a grown-up, I will be able to spell really big words like "internet scheduling" and "the party starts now."


2. Me (on the phone with Meredith): "Can I tell you something really annoying about my K-I-D-S?"
Owen: "KIDS!"
Me (to Mere): "OK. I guess spelling things isn't going to work anymore."
Owen: "You can't use Pig-latin either, cause I know what you are saying in Pig-latin"


3. Owen: Dad...can we go to Plaquebusters?
.....pause where dad and i wonder how he came up with such a creative name for the dentist....
Me: What do you want to do there?
Owen: Get Shrek 3
Me: OH!!! Blockbuster!


4. Owen (taking a drink of water before laying down to sleep): What is this?!?! Bath water?!?
Pool water?!? This is nasty!


5. Owen (getting his teeth brushed with his new toothpaste from Santa): Gross! This toothpaste tastes like corn dip!


6. One night I was looking at baby pictures of Owen and Hazel and the kids joined me. We looked for a while and talked about how cute they were and then I asked Owen "Do you want Mommy to have another baby?" and he thought for a while before saying "I'd rather have a new cat." I said "Me too. I'm glad we are on the same page!"


7. Sniffing a page in their Pat the Bunny book, Owen said "That smells like dead grandmas"


8. Owen asked for a glass of water at unlce Chris and aunt Erin's house. When Erin brought it to him, he looked at it for a minute with a perplexed look and then said "I didn't need like 50 pieces of ice!"


9. Owen: Dad, Why can't everyone in the world be like me?



Hazel has some pretty cute moments too...

Mom: Hazel...I think you're precious.
Hazel (confused): I AM precious!

Car Update

Nathan picked his car up today. He had to pay $250 to take it off the lot. The gun was gone. The stereo was gutted. His Forest Gump license plate was gone (oh darn). They left all kinds of goodies in the car (roaches in the ashtray, gloves, a garage door opener, a genuine topaz ring, a diabetic kit, a makeup brush set, a half-eaten butterfinger, a ford manual....and much more!).
He was able to drive it home, but it was making all kinds of new noises and I am scared for him to continue driving it! It already desperately needed a tune-up and brake pads, and who knows what it needs now! We'll see what happens. :)
