Confucius...I mean Joshua...says....

Okay, anyone that has a preschooler knows that they are full of little gems. I've been trying to keep a list. He's something else.....

• "Huh! I have pachyderms on my pajamas!!"
• "Dang it! I just broke my crown!".... Yes, we have been reading lots of nursery rhymes lately.
  
• He wanted PB and J for breakfast which I responded, "We don't have PB and J for breakfast. Pick something else. That's something you do with Daddy." Quite under his breath, I got, "Okay, whatever...."
• "Well, I'm feeling kind of negative."
• While dozing off at nap time, I said, "Sleep tight my sweet boy." He said, "You sleep tight too my sweet girl." Melted my heart:).
• After instructing him to do something, he said, "Mommy, here's the thing..." The great negotiator
• Stated to a stranger he met, "My name is Joshua. My name starts with a J and I like trains!"
• 
  
  A question he came up with while playing "The Book of Questions" on a car ride, "What room do you like to vacuum?"
• When asked during the same game, "If you could pick any cartoon character to hang out with for an afternoon, who would it be?", he said, "MIMI!"
• "What are you TALKING about???" to anyone who says something he doesn't agree with.
• While dancing around, he looked at Sadie and said, "Hit it, babe!"
• Two quotes from the week he had the flu, "Am I ever going to feel better?" (poor guy!) and "Thank you for saving me last night," when he woke up after a night of throwing up.
• Guess I tell lots of stories with that start with the phrase, "When I was a little girl..." because he's been telling me lots of stories that begin with "When I was a little boy..."
• Art was on the road while Joshua had the flu a ways back. I invited him to sleep in our bed. As I was dozing off, he said, "Hey Mom, I can tell this is going to be good.":)
• While playing pretend with Art and me, he stated matter of fact, "You're a steak, you're an egg, and I'm an elephant." Hmmmm....okay....
• After meeting someone I asked what the person's name was, his response, "Well it's up to their mama what their name is."

AND OUR FAVORITE:

As I was loading Sadie into the car on the way to school, Joshua was reading his little Bible on the kitchen floor. I overheard him say, "We are now going to read about the Lord. Now go in the truth!"
