Funny Kids!

Here are a few of our favorite conversations with the boys lately:

8/20/12
Preston: "Mom I would be a big fan if you would hold the box of crayons open while I put the crayons away."

10/2012
Preston: "Dad! Spencer took the computer away from me right when I was using it. After he just got baptized! What the heck??"

10/2012
Spencer took Preston's toy. Preston said, "Spencer! That is so rude! I knew you shouldn't have gotten baptized!"

12/2012

Spencer: "Guess what! It wasn't just Mr. Heidrich that ate fried worms at school since we hit our fundraiser goal...the garbage teacher ate some too!"

Nate: "The garbage teacher?"

Spencer: "Yeah. The teacher that cleans up all the garbage."

Nate: "He's called the janitor."

2/3/2013

Preston: "Mom are they doing testimonies today in church?"

Me: "Yep. Today is fast Sunday."

Preston: "Oh I love fast Sundays! (Pauses)...well actually I like long Sundays too."

3/4/2013

Talking to Spencer about exercising and how some people have a bad heart because they don't exercise. Other people do exercise but still have an unhealthy heart because of their genes or DNA.

Spencer: (deer in the headlights...)

Me: "Remember we talked about genes and DNA and what makes us who we are?"

Nate: "Not 'jeans' like you wear, 'genes.'"

Spencer: "Oh ya genes! I was thinking like...the long sleeved shorts kind of jeans."

10/2012

Preston: "When I grow up I'm going to live in Florida!"

Me: "Why Florida?"

Preston: "Because then when me and Sophie get married, I can take her to Disneyworld every day!"

7/2013

Preston: "How come Brenda's last name is Smith, not Martin?"

Me: "Because usually when girls get married, they change their last name to their husband's last name. Like I changed my last name to Monson."

Preston: "Oh so when I marry Sophie, I'll be Preston Winzeler!"

7/2013

Preston (after talking to Nate in the other room) came into the kitchen and said,

"Mom don't cry a little bit but...daddy says he loves you."

8/2013

Preston read a book about tornadoes at school and came home almost in tears.  I asked him what was wrong.  He said, 

"I NEVER should have told Sophie we would move to Florida because they have TORNADOES there!"

Sitting at the dinner table...

Nate: "Spencer - would you be mad if I got you an early birthday present?"

Spencer: "Like what kind of present?"

Nate: "Some stuff for our backpacking trip."

Spencer: "Oh...."

Nate: "So would you be mad at me if I gave it to you early?" (teasing Spencer)

Spencer:"Well...I wouldn't be mad....just frustrated."
