More Parkerisms and Turnerisms

Raising two sons, 9 and 6, means we have lots of fun conversations in our home. Here are a few more:

On Thursday evening, we made an after-work trip to Dollywood to take advantage of the the "Great American Summer" promotion there. This summer, the theme park is staying open later and has nightly fireworks. Though the weather on Thursday evening seemed as if rain showers were possible, we decided to go anyway since it was Turner's birthday. Within 30 minutes of arriving at the park, the clouds grew dark and rain began to fall. Short of Tonya and Turner riding the Dollywood classic, Blazing Fury, the trip was mostly a wash-out.

On the way home, as Turner grumbled about not getting to stay at the park and questioning whether we should have even tried to go:
Parker: Like Ms. Frizzle (from Magic School Bus) always says: Take risks, which we did. Make mistakes, which we did. And get messy, which we did.

Also, on the way home from Dollywood (from out of nowhere)-
Turner: I may never get to go to Nebraska.
