Aiden funnies

Just a quick post about some of the funny things Aiden has said lately. I wish I remembered more to write them down as he says them--I know I am forgetting a lot!

We went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel a few weekends ago (thanks Rachele, we finally used our gift card! Yum!) and we got Aiden a little Snoopy car that holds smartie candies inside. Yesterday Ava dropped the car and a bunch of candies spilled onto the floor. Aiden's response? "It's OK Mommy, I will eat all of those and clean them up!" He was ON those candies, lol.

At dinner tonight we were talking about everything we saw at the aquarium today. We asked Aiden if he liked the giant crabs and he said, "Yeah, the giant crabs were really crabby and lobby and snappy!" Lobby? I think he was trying to say that the crabs were like lobsters with their claws!

He also asked me why we didn't see any monkeys today at the aquarium. I told him that monkeys live on land, so they are at the zoo, and the aquarium is a place for animals that live in the water. His response? "Sea monkeys live in the water mommy!" Well...technically I guess he was right, but I am pretty sure he has no clue what a sea monkey is!

Any time I laugh about something, Aiden asks me, "Mommy, what are you funnying about?" I correct him every time ("You mean, what am I laughing about?") but it never seems to click!

At school last week, the art project was to make a dog-ear headband. When we picked the kids up, their teacher put their headbands on them as they walked out the door, along with a little stick-on nose. Aiden came to the door looking so sad and said, "Mommy, I don't want to be a dog...I just want to be a little boy!" That got some laughs from the onlookers in the hall!
