A few funny things the boys have said since we moved here:
As I was starting our first load of laundry Harrison asked, "Mom, where's the washer for my clothes?" I guess he's used to seeing rows and rows of washers where we can wash everything at once...
Harrison was anxious to play a computer game, so I was trying to get the computer set up. I was missing a few cords, and so it was taking longer than Harrison would like. He came up to me, after asking me several times if it was ready yet, and said the following:
"Mom, is your computer running slow, or just not like it used to? Simply log on to finallyfast.com, do what it says, and then your computer will be finally fast!" This was almost verbatim of an ad I saw a couple times on JetBlue on our way here. He must have been watching the same channel I was...
We went to Costco as a family, and our our way out they checked the receipt as they always do. Harrison grabbed it from Sam's hands and then looked at me in dismay. "Mom, where are the funny pictures?" At our San Diego warehouse they would often draw silly pictures on the receipt for the boys. Here in Maryland, it was just a straight black line. I explained to him that they do it differently here, to which he replied, "I liked it better in San Diego!" I had no idea the drawings on the Costco receipts meant so much to him...
There is a lot of wildlife in our neighborhood. There are deer in our yard constantly, a fox which I have heard about, but have yet to see, and the boys favorite: the squirrels. There are 2 that are constantly climbing up and down the tree in our front yard, which the boys can see from our kitchen table. They have named them Harrison and Noah. One of the first days we were here, Noah asked Sam, "Doesn't that squirrel have to hold someones hand when he crosses the road?"
Tonight at dinner Harrison was asking Sam where he works. He said, "The J. Craig Venter Institute." Harrison replied, "Insti-toot. That word ends in toot. That's potty language. You shouldn't say that word. Do you know Craig?"

Thomas shed a few tears the first time we went to Costco in Pittsburgh and there was no smiley face. I asked the guy to do it the next time and everyone else did it without asking. We moved to Frederick and they do it here. Maybe you should give your friend at costco a tip about how to impress the little ones ;)
ReplyDeleteSame channel as you? I didn't know Harrison liked HGTV.
ReplyDeleteLoved the funny comments!! Adele and Chloe came over to play, and Audrey said, " I wish Harrison was here! I miss playing with him." Your new place sounds wonderful, with so much wildlife. I think it will be difficult to leave the woodsy feeling of Mesa, but sounds like your new house is even more authentic!
ReplyDeleteDon't tell Harison, but I'm also at an insty-toot.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Your boys make me laugh. Last time we were at Sam's Club, the guy drew smiley faces on the receipt - Emma didn't even notice. I guess I'll have to point it out to her next time.
