Kelly
Setup: Handing Miles a bit of dinner that I’m currently making….
Kelly: Miles, try this. You’ll like it.
Miles: Nope. I don’t like that.
Kelly: Ok. I’m going to eat it then.
Miles: Mom, I want some now.
[He tries the food]
Miles: You’re right, Mom. I do like this.
Kelly: I knew it. I’m glad you like it.
Miles: You’re always right, Mom. You’re always right!
(side note: I could totally get used to this!!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setup: In traffic this morning…
Kelly: Move it car…. Little faster please.
[The merge into traffic successful, but still need to move 4 lanes left in next 1/6th mile]
Kelly: Grr, now I just need this car to move.
Miles (from the backseat): Mom, that’s not a car. That’s a truck. Mom, that’s a big truck.
Kelly: Yes, Miles. That was a truck. Sorry, buddy.
Miles:Mom, that was a truck. You were super wrong!
Nate: (laughs a little too hard, in my opinion>
Kelly: [silence] Huh?
Miles: You are super wrong, Mom! That was not a car, that was a truck.
Kelly: Yes, Miles. You are right.. Can you say some words that will make me happy now?
Miles: Yes. Hmm. Mom, you are ALWAYS right. You said that it was a truck now.
Nate: [laughs again] Ooh. That’s good, Miles. Mommy loves that!
Setup (Part 1): Nate and Miles are sitting as close to the TV as possible, watching the only network televised Bulls game so far this season. Miles sees the crowd and starts this conversation.
Miles:Dad, I want to go to the Bulls game too.
Nate: We can’t, buddy. We don’t have any tickets.
Miles: Tickets? Why do we need tickets?
Nate:They won’t let us into the game unless we have tickets.
Miles: So get some tickets, Dad!
Nate: I can’t, Miles. They cost a lot of money.
Miles: Then get some money.
Nate: Ok, I’ll work hard and try to get you some more money. Ok?
[conversation dropped for the rest of the evening. Fast forward to dropping Nate off at work the next morning]
Setup (Part 2): Nate gets out of the car, Miles rolls down his window to say goodbye as usual. The usual conversation goes a little differently.
Nate: Goodbye, Miles. Have fun at school today.
Miles: Ok, Dad. You work really, really hard so we can get more money to get tickets to go to the Bulls game, OK?
Nate:What? [looks at me in disbelief as I giggle while Miles repeats his instructions perfectly again]
Miles: I said - You work really, really hard so we can get more money to get tickets to go to the Bulls game, OK?
Nate: OK, Miles. I will work hard today.
Setup (Part 3):
[Fast forward to dinner time that evening and every evening since....]
Kelly: Time to eat, boys.
Nate: Let’s pray.
Miles: Dear Jesus, thank you for the snow.
Dear Jesus, thank you for my red shoes.
Dear Jesus, thank you for the food.
Dear Jesus, help us to go to the Bulls game
And Jesus, Amen!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setup: Sorry, for most of you, this is a COMPLETE inside joke. Just know that Nate and I are still laughing about it. Love you, Great Gram Gert!
Kelly: Miles, are you ready for church?
Miles: Yes. [now yelling] Dad, are you ready for church?
Nate: [shouting from next room] Yes, I am. Waiting on you!
[Nate and Miles finish zipping coats and wrapping scarves]
Miles (swinging his pointer finger in a circular motion): Leeeeeetttttttt's Rotate!
