A Blister is Coming

While we were driving to visit Rick's family, Laurianna made a list of all 50 states so she could check off license plates as we passed them. Some of the spellings made us laugh a little later:

Misagon
Road Island
Meriland
Tenissie
Pensillvania
Louiseanna
Missury
Arkansaw
Cansas
Cuntuky (it's that whole K comes before...)
Minisoda
Whyoewme

We visited Rick's grandmother, who is almost 101, this last week. She recently had a heart attack and has been having a difficult recovery. We knew she would look the same when we visited, so before going into her apartment, we read the kids the riot act about questions to avoid {ahem...Zachary}. I.e. 'Are you going to die? When are you going to die?', etc...

Zachary agreed and said he understood.

We all sat down to talk to Great-Grandma and first thing out of Zachary's mouth?

"You don't look like you're going to die."

Technically, he didn't ask a question...

_____________________________________

Zachary walked up to me the other day and asked, "So. Do all girls have milkers? And when you drink milk, is that what comes out?"

Since I haven't nursed in almost 2 years now...this was completely out of the blue. And hysterical to boot!

_____________________________________

We had some rainy weather while on vacation. When we were driving, Zachary saw the very overcast skies and said, "I think there is a tornado coming."

We laughed and said it wasn't going to be a tornado.

He quickly responded, "Oh. It's probably just a blister then."

Head on over to Mary's at Not Before 7 for some more Tiny Talk Tuesday!!
