Excerpts from several conversations in the last month:
-----
Mom: What do you want for lunch Sam?
S: (serious) A knuckle sandwich.
M: (stifling a grin) Do you know what that is?
S: No...
M: (explains what a knuckle sandwich is) Do you still want that for lunch?
Sam: (smiling) No way!
----
(Conversation between Sam and Mia overheard by Dad from the front of the car)
S: Mia, what do you want to be when you grow up-- and it can't be a princess, it has to be a real job.
M: (thinking) An appetizer.
S: What's an appetizer?
M: An exerciser.
S: That's a good job, but you'll get really tired.
M: yeah.
----
Sam says to Mom: "Mom, I was just wondering. Why do you and your friends talk about the Bible all the time?" (I played that one off, but wonder, what the heck is this kid talking about?)
----
On a walk. Sam is riding his bike down the sidewalk at an unsafe distance and speed. Mom overreacts and yells for him to slow down. Sam keeps riding. Mom yells again. Sam keeps riding. Mom catches up to Sam.
M: Sam, why didn't you stop?
S: I didn't hear you.
M: You need to ride more slowly especially because you forgot something (points to his head).
S: My brain?
M: (stifling laugh) No, your helmet.
S: oh yeah.
M: Helmets are important, Sam.
S: But not as important as the president. OR the judge.
(How are you supposed to stay stern when kids say stuff like this?)

Michael told Ashlyn that poptarts are knuckle sandwiches so she always asks for them:) Fun stories - thanks for sharing!
Sam does have a good point about the exerciser job. that would be tiring! Maybe she should just stick to being an appetizer! So funny!
This is better than Reader's Digest! They crack me up!
Oh my word, those are great! They got a couple audible laughs out of me!
