More Parkerisms and Turnerisms

Having two sons, 10 and 7, means we have lots of fun conversations in our home. Here are some more:

After Field Day (back in May)-
Me: Parker, what ribbons did you bring home today? A blue and a white?
Parker: I got 3. One blue, one red, one white.
Me: What did you get the red one for?
Parker: Second.
Me: Right, I meant what event.

Turner: (Answering a question) Hello?
Me: Turner, you sounded kind of sassy when you said "Hello" like that?
Turner: Is that good or bad?

Having two sons, 10 and 7, means we have lots of fun conversations in our home. Here are some more:

I'd parked my car in the driveway but needed to pull it into the garage-
Turner: Can I ride with you Daddy?
Me: Just to pull it in?
Turner: Yes.
Me: Okay, come on. Hey, do you want to sit in the front seat, without your booster seat, just to pull in?
Turner: How about I sit in the driver's seat...because I can drive this baby?
Me: No.

On the way out the door to school-
Tonya: You need to do something about your hair.
Parker: I did. I slept on it.

Great Quote Thursday

I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me; but now I'm more afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter- Bob Goff

Point for the Day

When God speaks, we'd do well to recognize, react and respond to His voice.

Raising two sons, 10 and 7, means we have lots of fun conversations in our home. Here are some more:

Turner: If I were a word, I'd want to be a long word.

One I missed from this spring-
I had just mowed early in the season and the next morning there was an outbreak of dandelions in our front yard. This conversation occurred on our way to school that morning-
Parker: It looks like it snowed dandelions in our yard last night.
Then as we prayed for the day on the way to school-
Parker: "...and I pray that the dandelions will go away in the rain..."
To which Turner then added in his prayer-
Turner: "...and that the dandelions will go into other yards and make lots of yellow flowers".
