Blakeisms

Pretty much everything the kid says is funny. Here are a few extra special ones from recent history:

Blake is really testing the waters of appropriateness. If he picks up on a new "trick" from an older kid, we have to quickly squelch the bad behavior without drawing too much attention to it, so he'll forget there's a payoff. Let's just say we're all trying our best... So instead of flipping you off, he'll hold up his middle finger WITH the index and ring finger, too, and say, "I'm holding up my middle finger the way they do it in China." Hmm... okay? And if he gets really mad at you, he'll say, "You are such an S-word!" (the kid "s-word", not the real "s-word").
The other day I made the mistake of calling someone an idiot when she nearly ran me off the freeway. I can't wait to hear Blake's adaptation of that one. It's a good thing I don't swear for real.

He also has delightful observations on life. Today after church, we all left through the children's room door which only opens from the inside of the building. As the kids trailed after me, I guess Gracie got left behind, and about ten seconds later, we heard her trademark ear-splitting scream from inside of the children's room. After a couple minutes of hollering through the heavy door for her to push on it so it would open, she finally came out and met Blake, who said, "Gracie, if I were you, I wouldn't have been standing at the door screaming. I would have gone over and yelled into the microphone."
