Jacksonisms

I have done a terrible job of recording recent Jacksonisms! I need to improve on this because they are so funny and I don't want to forget any of them! So, here are a few recent favorites I want to remember . . .

In the car recently, as I went to take a drink of my COFFEE, Jackson pipes up from the backseat . . .

"Mommy, you can't drink and drive."
Me - "What!?"
"You can't drink and drive!"
Me - "Why?"
"You will get out of control!"


At the dinner table the other night . . .

"Look, mom, I learned how to twirl my spaghetti! I was going to wait to learn until I got into high school, but that was going to be long time, so I decided to learn now!"


After helping me decide where to hang a picture in my bedroom (and I went with his suggestion). . .

"That looks brilliant!"


When I vetoed where he wanted to hang the candles in MY bedroom . . .

"Well, you need to listen to me because we share this house."


When singing along to the radio the other day (and no this is not a song we frequent, it just happened to come on while on a station that we don't frequent) . . .

"I'm sixty (i.e. sexy) and I know it" (pause) "I know I'm really four, but the song says 'sixty' "


When telling me he loves me lately . . .

"Mommy, I just love you because you're so cute!"


When "reading" me the card he wrote me . . .

"Mommy I love you. You are so sweet and so nice. Someday I will leave, but I will still love you!"


When coming into my room while I'm dressing (and let's face it, after having quads, I have to wear special undergarments for damage control ;-) ) . . .

"Mommy, those are some BIG underwear!" (immediately followed up by . . .) "Why is your tummy still wiggly?" (Ahhh, the honesty of a child, maybe someday he'll understand the badge of honor that is the post-quad tummy . . . or better yet, maybe I'll get a tummy tuck and it will only be a memory ;-)

God Bless this adorable child with his quick wit and 4 year old honesty! Love him so much!! I'm sure there are so many more that I am not thinking of right now, but I will add to the list later!

My little funny man super excited over the broom and the egg standing on their own! For those who did not catch the facebook craze the other day . . . supposedly because of sun, moon, planet alignment or something, brooms and eggs could stand upright, so of course we tried it. Jackson was totally thrilled that it worked. We have several pictures of him cheesing it up by the standing broom. Random I know, but I needed a reason to share this picture :-)
