Little Thinkers Score Again

This is the latest in my continuing series of humorous or thought-provoking comments made by the kids.

When we were at the Fort Worth Zoo a few weeks ago, Noah was so excited to see "rubber duckies" swimming in the water along with other birds.

At a friend's birthday party, the boy got some toy that was made by Fisher-Price. Colin was so excited about it for him and was telling him about it. The boy's mother asked Colin how he knew about it, and Colin said, "I know everything about Fisher-Price toys."

As you can see from one of my previous posts, the boys had their pictures taken in polo-style shirts, which turned out really great. One morning before school, I was having Colin put his polo-style shirt on. He was not very enthusiastic about wearing the shirt to school and called it a "parent shirt". I asked him where he got the idea and he said it's because I wear those types of shirts to work most days.

We we out to eat last week and asked the boys if they wanted to go to Fuddruckers or Blackeyed Pea. Colin quickly said, "I want to go to Funruckers because it's a lot more fun."

The other day we were driving and passed a Bradford pear tree. Due to the flowering in the spring, it was very pretty, but I've never heard it described in quite this way before. Noah said, "Mama, look at that popcorn tree!"
