Gotta Hate those Creditors!

So, it was time for Zaquel's well child check-up this month. We headed out on Wednesday. We get there and the nurse checks his eyes, height, weight, etc. We go to our room and wait for the doctor. In the mean time, I am given a developmental questionnaire. I am filling it out when I come to the part where I have to say a word and record the first thing that comes out of Zaquel's mouth. (This should be interesting was my first thought.)
So, I proceed all is well, with the words cup, table, and house. Then I say, "a fence". Zaquel says, "Something to keep creditors away". I couldn't tell if he said predators or creditors so I asked, "predators?" Zaquel answers, "Mom, you know the big mean animals?" So I say, "Oh, yes, predators." Zaquel rolls his eyes at me! The nerve of him!
The doctor finally comes in and reads over the questionnaire and stops at this question and says, "WOW Zaquel, you know about predators?" Zaquel says, "No, I said a fence is something to keep creditors away! I told you that first mom! Grown-ups never listen!"

Obviously, I need to work on my listening skills! LOL! I guess creditors could be considered big mean animals don't you?

I do love this boy of mine!

Slip-up

This morning we were talking about when Isabel got hit in the head with a hammer while we were building our fence. Don't ask why her Uncle did it and why in the world I had taken her outside while they were working...

We took her to the closest hospital because we were new in the area and realized we should have taken her elsewhere later...

Anyhow, she was asking us why she had a scare from the stitches and Zaquel didn't.

A little background here...when Zaquel was about 18 or 19 months, he split his bottom lip open with a pot. He was trying to put it on his head and it was obviously too heavy. So we took him to Instacare, brilliant I know, and they said they couldn't do it because it was right on the vermilion of the lip and they couldn't match it up exactly. So we trucked up to Primary Children's Hospital and got it taken care of. They were AMAZING! There is no scare whatsoever!

So, back to this morning...as we talked about both incidences, Marcos pipes in and says, "Didn't they seduce Zaquel when they stitched him up?"

I started laughing hysterically! I said they "sedated" him not "seduced" him. Big Difference!

Just a fun little slip-up to start the day off with a laugh! And we really do supervise our kids! LOL!

Primary Laugh for the day

At Lunch today:

Zaquel: Mom, do you know that beans are a magical fruit?

Me: Oh, really. (I was really wondering because we hadn't ever talked about this before if you can believe that!) Why are they so magical?

Zaquel: Because, the more you eat the more you poop!

Me: Who told you that?

Zaquel: Sister Irvine! aka: his primary teacher

So, now I fully understand why the leaders of the church say that Primary, YM/YW are to support the home not take the place of it! Imagine what would happen if we let Sister Irvine do all the teaching! Who knows what he'd learn! LOL!

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

Well, in true form here is my conversation with Zaquel during breakfast this morning. Here is a bit of preface so you will understand his inquisitive mind! On his birthday, I was telling him that he was such an active baby in the womb and that he would kick me incessantly. I told him I knew he was going to be a very active boy!

The conversation:

Zaquel: "Mama, was Papa crazy like me in your belly?"

Me: "No sweetie, Papa was NEVER in my belly! Just you and your sisters were."

Zaquel: "Well, were you crazy in Papas belly?"

Me: Ummmm, NO! (Then laughing hysterically)

Maybe he will GET it when he is a bit older! Love that boy of mine!
