The adventures of little boy Finn
After Mama dropped off Gabe and his enormous bass at school this morning, she pointed to a very tall building on the SLU campus.
Me: “What would happen if I jumped off that building?”
Mama: “You’d probably die. And it would hurt a lot.”
Me: “What if I landed in a tree?”
Mama: “You’d probably still die, and it would hurt a lot.”
Me: “What about the Vampire State Building?”

Gabe, to Finny, who is watching My Little Pony on Mama’s iPad: “Finny, is that season 4?”
Finny: “I dunno what it is. I think it’s season 2?”
Gabe: “No, it can’t be season 2 if Twilight Sparkle has her wings.”

Me: “Hey Gabe, what happened to the saber-toothed tiger who fell into the lava?”
Gabe: “He died.”
Me: “No! He climbed out of the lava and got hit by a school bus and then he died!”

Poor big brother Gabe had to get four vaccinations at his annual doctor’s visit today. I was glad to be just a spectator, but I was also watching the procedure with great trepidation. When the first needle went in, Gabe quietly winced, but I screamed bloody murder!

I was over at Mama’s house, when the mailman showed up. Mama was talking to him, when I walked up to him and said, “Did you know my mom’s name is poop?”

Today Mama said, “In my next life, I’m going to have a normal, friendly, outgoing child.”

At lunch today, I saw a classmate’s cole slaw and said, “What the hell is that?” I got a frownie for that. 🙁
Funnily enough, the classmate’s name was Cole, so I was commenting about Cole’s cole slaw!

Me: “I still haven’t decided what I want to be when I grow up.”
Mama: “That’s okay. You have lots of time to decide. What are some of the things you’ve been thinking about?”
Me: “I don’t know. All I’ve been thinking about is eating candy.”

Daddy’s friend Jans was at a violin recital yesterday that his 12-year-old daughter Fiona was performing in. He was sitting next to a woman whose son was also performing. The woman had a little girl with her. Jans started talking to the little girl.
Jans: What grade are you in?
Little girl: I’m in kindergarten!
Jans: What school do you go to?
Little girl: Bristol!
Jans: I know a little boy who goes to kindergarten at Bristol. He’s a troublemaker!
Little girl: Is it Finn?
