February Brady Quotes

1.

While sitting in the car garage with the boys waiting for my tail light to be replaced, Brady was playing and talking (not always talking to someone, just talking in general). He stopped playing and looked up at me and said, "I DO have a point." I asked him what his point was, and he responded, " I don't know, but you told me once I have a good one." Good point, Brady. Yes, I have said that!

2.

More talking in the car... Brady announces with a little sigh, "I have a LOT to do before I'm a super hero." Cooper & learned by asking a few questions that he has only worked on his "super fast running" and "stretchy arms" skills. We think super hero training must be exhausting.

3.

I got a little nervous when Brady said to me, "Mom, I wish you were a normal mom." Fearing the guilt for whatever he was about to lay on me, I asked, "Brady, what do you think would make me a normal mom?" Without a pause he said, "Well, if you liked pink like girls do." This continued into a long conversation (that we've had parts of several times before) about pink & purple being "girl colors" (or not) and the apparently serious problem of me being the only girl he knows who does not really like or wear pink. Anyway, I bought a pink shirt, wore it, and Brady noticed on his own and told me I was beautiful.

Flowery spots & pickles

Brady & I walked around the yard today to check out the flowers and the garden. He got upset with me because I "didn't plant any pickles." If you know Brady, you know I got an earful about this for quite awhile!

These are our favorite flowery spots at the moment.

3 inches and a 3 year old mind

Brady, my you-never-know-what-he'll-say child, cracked me up on the drive home today. We were driving on the interstate heading to pick Cooper up from the after school program, when Brady urgently announced that he had to go pee.

Here's how the conversation went from there:
Me: "You're going to have to hold it, we're on the interstate and I can't stop"
Brady: "Ok, I'm holding it" (literally holding himself)
Me: "Good. How long can you hold it?"
Brady: "Oh, about 3 inches"

I couldn't resist laughing out loud at his random but hilarious response. His timing, pauses & sheer determination about what he is saying are really part of what makes him so funny. Some of his antics do require a lot of will power to resist laughing, like this moment with Rob last week.... Brady had gotten into some trouble in daycare for hitting a friend. Rob was having a serious talk with him, but Brady had lots of reasons why he thought it was ok to hit this daycare friend. Rob finally said, "Brady, the bottom line is YOU CAN'T HIT YOUR FRIENDS." To this Brady responded, "The TOP LINE is that I can hit whoever I want!" Never a dull moment with this one!!
