[While reading a book with dinosaurs in a museum making an appearance.]
Rhett: Why are the dinosaurs not alive?
Me: Because dinosaurs don't live on the earth now.
Rhett: Why not?
Me: They just don't. They're extinct.
Rhett: But they will come alive again. Just like Jesus.
[Rhett has really been into saying all of our prayers lately. He's mastered the thanking part, just not the asking.]
Rhett: Thank you for the day. Thank you for the couch. Thank you for the mean people.
If you can't tell, he's obsessed with everything "mean." He wants to act as a mean goalie, a mean monster, a mean whatever. If you ask him why he always wants to be mean, he'll answer, "I just do."
After eating dinner the other night at Rhett's grandparents' house, Rhett informs me that he's still hungry and his belly isn't full.
Me: What does your belly need to be full?
Rhett: Something sweet and chewy.
Hmmm...sounds like someone saw the Red Vines on the counter.

ReplyDeletethat licorice comment is the best. h
ReplyDeleteHahah! First, I LOVE red vines. Oh divine.
ReplyDeleteSecond, it is somewhat reassuring to me that M and Rhett are going through the same phases, namely the gratitude prayers (M is still thankful for the bumblebees that are outside our Maryland place, even while we are here in UT), and the "mean" attitude. Today she was a mean sister. Good grief.
