On Having a Zoo

Randomly coming up to me while I'm on the computer, Shawners says, "When I grow up, I'm going to get a flying squirrel, a lemur, and a bat. For my pets."

On Parents Getting Old

Shawners: Mom, you're starting to wear old clothes like Grandma and Aunt W.

I took the opportunity to explain vintage to him and how it's coming back into style thankyewverymuch.

On Living In this Era

Shawners: I wish I was born in 3000. The whole world would be upgraded.

On Being Social

Shawners: Mom, I'm having social problems with my underwear. They hate me. They run away from me and say, "I don't want to smell your butt."

On Dogs and Tails

"Does Brown fart when you pull her tail? Let's find out." After he goes over to our half lab/half rottie and pulls her tail, "Nope."

On Watermelon

After eating watermelon with watermelon juice dripping down his chin, "I am like a cat with milk, only with watermelon. It's all over me"

Shawners Overload

He says about zucchini, "It tastes the way pumpkins smell." (think about it next time you eat zucchini, it's so true)

He says about how wrapped up the fudge I brought home from Washington was, "How come fudge has to be so protected? Is it like the president?"

This morning he shows me his muscles he's developing from doing cartwheels *every*where after learning how to do the perfect cartwheel on Tuesday.
