Jack Knick Knacks

This morning while getting ready for the day...

M: "Jack, it's time to brush our teeth."
J: "But mom, I just have to dance!"

After tonight's bath, he runs out of the bathroom...

This just happened this morning. Big Jack came into our bedroom and crawled up on the bed beside me and asked me to put his socks on. His feet were freezing, so I thought that was pretty smart of him. Nope.

Jack: "Okay mom, now I will get my shoes!"
Mom: "What? It's 7 o'clock, babe. Mommy and daddy are still sleeping. Just go play with your toys."
J: "Nope. I'm going outside."
M: "Jackson, if you go outside, you'll be in big trouble."

This did not go over well with Mr Independent.

J: "AAARRGGHHH! YOU LEAF ME ALONE!"
M: "Wow. Okay. Don't go outside."

He started to leave our room and close the door.

M: "Leave that door open."
J: "NO. You close your eyes and go to sleep."
Dad: "Jackson, be nice."
J: "ARRRGGHHH!"

So now I'm wide awake thinking he'll figure out how to make it outside. I walk into the living room to this:


J: "You go back to bed, Mom. I'm going outside."

"Hey Mom... kitten has ears."
"Yes she does. Do you have ears?"
::checks his ears:: "Hmm... yep! Do you have ears too, mom?"
::check my ears:: "Yep!"
"Does my dad have ears?"
"I think so."
"Oh. Does Peet (Dad's friend) have ears?"
"Yes."
"WOW. Dat's a lot of ears!"

While eating crackers:
"Mom, did a crumb just jump right outta my mouf?"

On Wolves:
"Wolfs are like big dogs. But dey're not dogs. Dey're wolfs."


On Gorillas:
"He gots a big hairy butt!"

Yes he does.
