A few funnies

G has said some cute things lately and I wanted to be sure to write them down before I forgot!

G has a small scrape on his ankle. It isn't healing too well so a few nights ago, he slept all night with the band-aid on. During breakfast, Nana was asking about it...does it hurt?...did we put medicine on it?....and lastly, where is the boo-boo? G's answer was "under the band-aid". ( If I remember correctly, Nana' s return to that answer was first laughter and then under her breath she mumbled that if he has that kind of smarty-pants answer in a few years............)

My dad is very, very Southern. Lots of his wording has a definite drawl to it. G and Pop were talking and Pop mentioned "over yonder". G thought very seriously about the term. Then he got up, went over to the other side of the room and pointed, "Is that over yonder?"

I wish I had a tape recorder most of the time so I could capture the things G says. Most of the time he isn't trying to solicit a laugh. He is just being himself. That is probably what makes it special. That's just my sweetheart.

Lately, he has taken to praying on his own before bedtime. He has some general prayers, and ones he's heard me pray often so he repeats them. A few nights ago, he sounded a bit like a preacher as he emphasized "Dear God" and "O Lord" in his words. Coming from a guy who usually just starts with "Dear Jesus" and ends with "AMEN", this was cute and touching at the same time. I might just have to break out the tape recorder!
