December 20: (while showing QP his nail clippers) See? It’s a fabulous thing!
December 21: You excited! (Me: Why are you excited?) Because Mickey is your friend!
December 22: (while talking about Mama getting dressed for the day) And maybe have a few dried blueberries and watch one, one Mickey in Mama’s room. That’s a wonderful good idea!
December 23: (while driving home from the farm) Bye bye Causeway. Night Night Causeway. I love you Causeway!
December 26: (Nopsi: Why do you like Car?) Because she’s your favorite! (Nopsi: Why is Car your favorite?) Because you love her sooo much! (Nopsi: Why do you love her so much?) Because she’s pretty.
December 31: (Me: Riley, do you want to go outside with Grandma and watch the boys shoot fireworks?) Je pense que non. (translation: I think no. Yes, he really did respond to my question in French.)
January 4: (while talking about Mardi Gras, for which he is supremely excited and asks to go to every day) You wanna ride on a float? (Me: Well, Buddy, we don’t get to ride on the floats. We just watch them.) But you wanna ride on one! (Me: You’re too little to ride on one right now, Bud.) (crossing his arms) Well, that’s just not fair.
You sure do make me laugh, Riley-bean. Keep it up.
This last one is mine. Please enjoy.
January 6: It’s raining outside, Buddy! (Riley: Why?) (Kenny: Remember what I told you? Water is condensing in the clouds, and when it gets too heavy it falls to the ground as rain.) (Riley: Why?) It’s kinda like the clouds are peeing, Bud. (and my childish self dissolves into giggles)
I apologize to his teachers in advance. I just know he filed that information away for future use at the most inopportune time.
