Last night Wuggie comes home from primitive pursuits covered in the usual mud.
"These pants are kind of too loose for me" he says.
"Don't they have an adjustable waist band?" I ask.
"No" he says "I looked."
I go to investigate.
He's been wearing my jeans all day.

Status updates

Overheard from the playroom: "Send in a negotiator to sign the treaty!"

I was outside watching my son play in the sprinkler but that thing is so crazy I couldn't find any place in the backyard that was protected from it. I said "I think I have to go back inside." Wuggie said "you can go back upstairs and get some work done" I said "I know, I just wanted to...(gesturing to the beautiful sunlit day)" He says "I know mom, even ministers need to have fun sometimes."

Wuggie: "Mom, no more jokes!"
Me: "[quote from MLK book] Is that better?"
Wuggie: "NO!"
Me: "Why not?"
Wuggie: "Too much seriosity!"

What to do when the tree won't fit in the stand and the whole town is out of tree stands? Bucket of rocks.
Me: "Wuggie, can I borrow your bucket of rocks to save Christmas?"
Wuggie: "sure, just bring them back when you're done ... saving Christmas."

Wuggie: "you were working so much I've hardly seen you this week except when your psychology book said I was supposed to be asleep."

Even Ministers

I was outside watching my son play in the sprinkler but that thing is so crazy I couldn't find any place in the backyard that was protected from it. I said "I think I have to go back inside." He said "you can go back upstairs and get some work done" I said "I know, I just wanted to...(gesturing to the beautiful sunlit day)" He says "I know mom, even ministers need to have fun sometimes."

Watch This!

Wuggie says, watch this!

They Might Be Giants

Wuggie said it was the best day ever. Screamed and waved his hands in the air and sang along with his favorite songs.

Dad asked later "when will we find out for sure whether they are Giants or not?"

Wuggie says "Dad, we saw them...they're not"

AMAZING NEWS!

Wuggie has made it to 100 and he has no idea what the word meant. However he does know it's a seven star amazement.

Wuggie: "As you can see in the background the trainer is totally wiped out.
(This was on the Wii and by 100 it's in push ups)"

Time Warp

Wuggie and I jut finished listening to C.S. Lewis's The Horse and His Boy on our commutes to church. He was very confused about how Peter and Lucy and all were in this story, which was written 5th in the series. I took out the old copy of The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe that my dad gave me when I was little, and showed him the sentence in the last chapter about how they ruled for many years. "It all takes place right in that sentence" I told him. He thought this was hilarious.
