Overheard in the house today….

Me: “Jacob!!!” (he was in his room with the door closed)

Abby: “Ja!” (yes, her first word appears to be her brother’s name)

Me: “Jacob!!!”

Abby: “Ja!”

Me: “Jake!!!”

Abby: “Ja!”

door opens down the hall

Jake: “Did you call me?”

Me: “Yes. come here.”

Jake: “Hold on, let me turn my radio off. I’m listening to the news and John McCain. I’m listening about John McCain.”

he disappears for a minute and then comes out into the living room

Me: “What were you listening to again?”

Jake: “About John McCain.”

Me: “What were they saying?”

Jake: “I don’t know, it was in Spanish.”

alrighty then….

    lol my son got a little radio a couple years back, he must have been 4. It was one of those cheep-o radios that might get in 3 stations.

    He comes out SO excited, “MAMA! I found restaurant music!”

    And when I realized that he was listening to a Spanish station, I knew we ate at out local Mexican restaurant far too often. lol

    LMAO, sounds like something that my 12 year old would say. he came in the house today all dramatic like, breathing hard and all. I say, “what’s wrong with you” he says ” I almost got stung by a horny” I said ” Horny what?” He says “hornet Mom”. I say ” A Horny Hornet almost stung you?” he rolled his eyes and told me i should clean my ears out but i know he said horny the first time, i don’t care what he says.
