Fall 2016

Danny told the office staff at school that instead of helping John with his swords, he just watched "Ketchup Boys" with Daddy.  (Pet Shop Boys)

D:  "Did God make science?"

Danny calls Famous Footwear Fantasy Shoe Store. He calls Jason's Deli Jason's Jelly.

Danny is full on sounding out words aloud and even silently. Sometimes he starts from the right, but when he starts from the left he is correct. Bed, box, dig, dig, no, fun, hug, hot.

Danny: What if there was no 'Don't' sign on the ghost sign on the ghostbusters car?  Then the ghosts would come and drive it!

Me:  Guess what?  Daddy's going to Seattle tomorrow!
Danny:  Oh no! You should have said "Guess...sad."

Me: Want 5 minutes to play with your Alfie robot?
Danny: I want to name my alpha robot Bob.

Andy does an act with one of Danny's bears who is apparently Southern. One night, Danny got into the act. "I do declare I'm Blue-bee Bear!"  Later we were reading Thanksgiving books and I asked what he was thankful for. "DIXIE."

Both spent an afternoon singing "the freaks come out at night" all day long. With variations like "the lunch comes out at lunchtime"

John had an oral surgery, a frenectomy. He kept calling it his "frenenemy" like rhyming with anemone.

D:  I don't remember getting made. When God made us.  Mom, put that on your block. (Blog)

Danny, at dinner: "I dropped a Mac and chee.  [apparently that's the singular.]. There's more where that came from!"  Then I was loading his fork with Mac and cheese so we could finish quickly. I said, "ok, it's loaded."  He put the bite in his mouth and started tracing circles in the air over and over. I asked what he was doing. "The eating part is loading now."

Me (after sending Andy the boys' Santa photo) Daddy  says muy guapo. That means very handsome in Spanish.
Danny: Mommy, you're very magappo.

Danny in bath, to bath toy:  Hey guys, have you ever been swimming?  Do you want to go swimming?
"Chewbacca": Ok, I suppose. I hope I don't get my hair wet.

Danny time

"Oh I love Uncle David, he's so silly."

Apparently "Famous Footwear" is "Fantasy Shoe Store" to Danny. 

Danny: "What if there was no 'Dont' on the ghost sign on the ghostbusters car?  Then the ghosts would come and drive it!"

Danny: "I would prefer to watch Teen titans Go!"

Danny is full on sounding out words aloud and even silently. Sometimes he starts from the right, but when he starts from the left he is correct. Bed, box, dig, dug, no, fun, hug, hot. 

Princesses

"I love princesses!  They're super polite!"

Reasoning and reassurance

John: You're a scaredy cat. 

Danny:  First of all, I'm not a cat. Second of all, I'm not scary. 

(two minutes later, after I told Andy I got a call from the school nurse this morning.)

Danny:  I was walking on the playground and I didn't see it and I went bonk. I bumped my head. I was still lucid, though. 

--

Me:  Why do you love stegosaurus so much?

Danny:  Because they have so many stegs on their back. 

--

Grandpa:  Who is hosting the draft party?

Danny:  GIRAFFE PARTY?!?!?!

John invented an after school game.  Pokemon Businessman.  He used Lincoln Logs as money to teach his friends about taxes.  Next he is going to teach about "household care, investments, mortgages, and trading like people actually do today."  I said, "Wow, that sounds really interesting.  Great idea to use fun things to teach useful ideas."  He said "Yeah, it was more like playing than learning."
