Random Occurrences

Being the father of three young boys, ages 6,5,and 2, you hear some pretty memorable remarks. Here are a few of the recent ones that I remember.

....as their father is tucking them in at night, 6 year old says " hey dad, what does contact mean?"

Father: "How did you hear contact used?"

6 year old: "Betty please contact the office, Betty."

Father: "Contact means when you want somebody to talk to you about something, or get someone's attention so they might help you out with something" (There, I think that explanation was pretty clear, good job Dad.)

5 year old, as I turn out the lights,: "Hey Dad, can you contact me a glass of water?"



I was not present for this next one so it was recounted to me by way of their Aunt who was present.

....as Grandma (Gappy) is reading them a story , kind of scary, the 6 year old makes a face to mimic something out of the pages.

5 year old: "Stop it!! You're freakin' my head off!!


My five year old is riding with me in the pick-up and we have agreed to share my 44 oz. Pepsi fountain drink as our own little secret. He keeps leaning forward to take out the cup and put it back in the cup holder, all the while I am thinking it is only a matter of time before the whole thing ends up on the floor. My solution is for me to hold it, as I'm trying to drive this way I think this might not be such a good idea, and I attempt to put it back in the cup holder. I half way miss but am able to catch it and safely get it back in the holder.

As my son watches this circus act he calmly states: " I heard a commercial on the T.V. say you are not supposed to drink and drive."

I reply, "..and now we know why."
