From Left Field-ish

Monkey Four. From the time he could string words together, this kid has come out with some of the funniest (and sometimes most bizarre) comments and questions I have evah heard. For about a year or two, at least one word would end in -ish. "Boy, this food is a bit hotish", "That car is a bit smallish, so we couldn't ride in it.", "When I'm biggish, I'll be able to eat that"... and the list goes on. As cute as the -ish affliction was and still is, it's no comparison to the things that fall out of this kid's mouth on a regular basis. And it usually is completely out of left field. Like the day he cracked the silence in the car with this, "Are horses--oh, wait-- never mind, they aren't hatched out of eggs (chuckling to himself)--'cause that'd be one prreeettty large egg!" Or after dh and I had come back from a week long trip-- Four was snuggling up to me and said, "Mom, when you were gone the holes in your ears stayed the same--open". So glad you noticed Four. Or like this morning when he just felt like announcing to everyone, "I don't like people's hair when it looks like rope-hair." I said, "You mean like braided hair?" Four says, "No, ROPE hair, Mom, rope hair." Uh, okay.. And last, but certainly not least, (there is a long list you know) at dinner one night came, "Mom, have you ever been poked by a blowfish?" Nope Four, not to my knowledge.
