Kadenisms

"Mom, when I go to Annika's I want to watch Princess Diarrhea."
He meant The Princess Diaries. 

Said on Thanksgiving, "Hey Grandpa, Grandma says...her says...her says...her says it's time to come upstairs and eat pine cone pie."
Pecan pie.  And he gets stuck mid-sentence often and repeats a phrase until he gets back on track about what he wants to say.

Said while waiting to get his haircut, "Hey Mom, what's those hookers for?" 
That one really made me turn my head and ask, "Say what?"
He pointed to the wall, "Those hooker things."
A row of hooks on the wall to hang your coat.

He likes to dress up in crazy outfits and pose.  He was inspired to do so recently when I was watching an episode of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

The Inevitable Question

My son has come to the realization that his dad and I were married at one time.  Consequently he has asked The Inevitable Question:

"Why aren't you and my dad married anymore?"

GULP.

I gave my sister a look that translated to, "Help!"

Here is my explanation:
Mommy and daddy used to be married but aren't anymore. 
Some mommies and daddies are married and live together.
Some are not and live in different houses.
Some kids only have a mommy and no daddy.
Some kids have only a daddy and no mommy.
Some kids have two mommies or two daddies.
Even though your mommy and daddy live in different houses we both love you very much.

His response?

"Oh.  Can I watch a show in my room (when I go to bed)?"
