I watched our youth pastor's son this last weekend, and I always look forward to youth conference for this very reason. They take my teenager, and I take their toddler. He's like his father, just naturally funny. The following will mean almost nothing to anyone but me because I was there with the little voice, facial expressions, and gestures. I just wanted to remember some of it here.
Me: Make sure you don't pet the cat on his tummy because he doesn't like his tummy touched, k?
Josiah: (shocked) I like MY tummy touched!
==================
My cousin has the movie "Chihuahua," but that's stupid... Stupid is a bad word, so I forgot.
==================
(With wet pants after his nap) "I forgot to go potty." (I think he was afraid the dogs were in the house. There was a small wet spot right inside the bedroom door... )
==================
Do you... do you think... do you... do you, can you... Never mind.
==================
Do chee, cheepy yong chuppy in da safe, chooyong, speakin' Chinese, speakin' Chinese!
==================
Me: What do you call my Jylle? (His baby sister is named after her.)
J: Big Jylle. But she likes "Fat Jylle."
Me: Who's the fattest person you know?
J: Jay Mitchell! [A man who is not at ALL fat!]
Me: Who's the tallest person you know?
J: Guido! [He's the smaller of our two dogs!]
Me: Is your mommy your best friend?
J: Yeah, but you're my bestest.
I do so adore this precious little boy. He makes me laugh, cry, pray, and enjoy the adventure of a walk through the woods. I saw again the wonders of "a beaver hole" (ground squirrel), "cool light sabers" (sticks), the thrill of climbing up and jumping off a log, and one really good, accessorized Lego hero-man. I make things so complicated. Thank You for little eyes to see the truly big things.
