Interrupting cow.

My girls have been telling this joke for years. It still cracks me up when they do it. Mostly because they forget to interrupt and then have to start over.

Notable Quotables from Nashville

Grant (3) - Jesus is the loverest. But he can't see how strong and tough I am because of the clouds.

Grant (3) - I'm scared.

Me - Why?

Grant - Because I have scary dreams with bats, ghost-es, and ghost-es poop.

Me - What?

Grant - I was just kidding ghost-es don't poop.

Grant (3) - Sometimes there's thunder in my pants but it doesn't hurt me. (To me while changing his diaper.)

Me - Grant will you go poop on the potty?

Grant (3) - Its not a Friday or a Sunday.

Jer - Grant let's brush your teeth.

Grant (3) pulls shirt up over the bottom half of his face - I'm a minja. Minja's don't have mouth-es so you can't brush my teeth.

I just ate a little tunafish - Jer

Yes, but its just a little piece. I think its cool. - Me (There is a notch out of his earlobe. He was born that way.)

I think its awesome! - Grant (which actually, with his lisp, sounds like 'I think ith awethom')

At the doctor's office:

Madilyn (10) Grant's poopy.

Me - Ugh. Every time we come here he poops. We're the family that smells like poop.

Me - Uh-oh, who's in your pants? (Wondering which of his toys he's shoved down there.)

Grant, proudly - My stinky buns!

Madilyn (10) - My teacher asked if any of us knew what opera was.
