On the back porch swing

Jacob R. and I were siting on the swing, everyone was gone,
he found a picture with a map and ask me what world it was,
I said its this one .

He said, "no I think your wrong I think Its the Chinese,"
I said, "Jacob there is only one world and this is it."
"No, JD The Chinese people come from their own world.
I already know."

A saw was making a funny noise, I said, "listen, what is that ?"
He said, "you think its a monster don't you? I think its going to eat us AAAHHH!!
no JD I think your wrong . He said I think its Neil."
"Neils not here Jacob he left."
With a deep breath he answered, "JD there are 2 Neils in America my Moms, and yours."
"OK, Jacob I think your right."
"He said there that noise is again." Then curled up beside me, he went to sleep till his dad came.

Over the weekend

Trevor said that he went to the pool.

Brandy went to the lake but didn't have a good time. She said, "Cuz you know like when you do marshmallows until they are like crispy? But, the're like runny and gooey inside. It like flipped over on my fingers and I screamed, Grandma, & I like got a blister and it popped and I got this.." (She had a band aid on two fingers and some pretty nasty looking blisters.)

"We went to the beach, went to the new Indiana Jones movie, Mason you remember the rest."
Mason looked at me and said, "well, that's it, I was sick."

"I went swimming two times," Gracie said, "did you go swimming Mason?"

"No! Mitchell did I was sick." said Mason

Jacob M. said, "I hanged out and went swimming."

Mason said, "I throwed up every where!" (Poor poor Mason.)

In as few words as possible......

OK, I had to share this story, it's so funny and I'll try to keep it PG.

Heather had "The Talk" with Taylor a few weeks ago, since Taylor is showing signs of it being about that time. Heather explained to her about the "birds and the bees." Well, Taylor was really not digging it. She told Heather that she was never gonna do "that" and not to expect grandchildren! And then she said, "Well, at least you and Daddy only had to 3 times." (since they have 3 kids) Then she asked, "Why did God have to create that anyways?!"

Jacob R. got off of the bus, I noticed he had a shaved head. I said, "Jacob you got all your hair
cut off" he said, "Yeah, the hair cuttin store did this." Jacob also said, "My teacher has a big rock at school, but she is calling it a meteor, it fell from the sky or something at her house in her back yard. I'm going to go play."

Jacob M. said, "My Birthday was fun, I got an I pod, I got 2 Web Kins that were an elephant and a panda, I named the elephant Max, I'm going to name the panda Jack Black, and that's it."
