funny story

i forgot this story that happened the last time i was in johnstown.

 i threw a load of laundry in my parent's house. chris, max, nina, and i were playing in the living room and my parent's  were out. 

max went to get his sippy cup and said "mama, what's wrong with the kitchen?" 

i said "what do you mean?" 

he said "there is water everywhere on the floor. i was splashing in it." 

we jumped up and found several inches of water on the floor and suds were everywhere. long story short. it took almost two hours to clean up the soap. the lock on the washer wasn't working and it kept gushing open and spraying bubbles everywhere. it was exactly the same situation that mike teevee's mom went through in charlie and the chocolate factory (the original) when she was sloshed with soap on the wonka-car. max rubbed my back as i held the machine shut through the rinse cycle. 

some more classic comments from wells:

erin (sis in law and chief babysitter) was questioning him several times about his poopy smells coming from his diaper. he apparently just had wicked gas...

erin: are you sure you didn't poop max?

max: no erin, (very frustrated) i think you did...

mama: max stand up. we need to put your shorts on...

max: stand up, stand up for what you believe in believe in believe in God. He's the one to back you up. He'll stand wif you, He'll stand wif you. 

(classic veggie tales song)

daddy: do you want a sister or a brother? 

max: a sister named nina. 

max: nina's crying

mama: why?

max: i pushed her down really hard.

mama: why did you do that? 

max: she took my turn away from me and then

she took my train so i hit her.

mama: go sit for a time-out

we going to the beach and it's gonna be so much fun!!! (jumping up and down)

lets go see bekah in the hospital. i miss her.

i told him to say "bye poppy" (to pop-pop) 

he said snickering "bye poppy" and started laughing so hard 

because it was the wrong person.

he has so many classic things and i feel like this smattering is a such a disservice to his multi-dimensional communication....

keep praying for bekah.
