Talking is Hilarious

So Brayden is really starting to talk a lot these days and I wanted to make notes of a few of the funny things that he has said/done recently so I don't forget them (I'm sure I've already lost forever a thousand classic moments/quotes)...

We've all seen this trick before, but I think I may have found its origins (in children)...The other day brayden was playing in mommy's car and found a sherlock holmes style magnifying glass that I had never seen. So I said to brayden "hey, brayden, whats that in your hand?" he takes the magnifying glass and puts it in his other hand and shows me his now empty hand. So I say "no, whats in your other hand?", so he again transfers the magnifying glass to the original hand and looks at his hand and sees nothing and then shows me nothing is in his hand (not trying to deceive me, he just didn't have a clue what I was talking about). We did this about 4 or 5 times before I rephrased the question "hey dude, thats a sweet magnifying glass, where did you get it?"

If I wasn't laughing hard enough about that one, about 5 minutes later, brayden wanted to go across the street to patterson's house. (to preface this story, we went to a halloween supply store the week before and brayden was entranced with this spider that was hanging on the wall that would drop down and crawl back up upon command). So Brayden and I walk down the driveway and across the street to patterson's house which is all decked out in spooky gear, including tombstones, pumpkins and a 6 foot stuffed spider. When we got to the sidewalk in front of their house brayden started clapping. He clapped a few more times and then said "spiders broken, needs new batteries" (everything these days needs new batteries, whether it a) needs new batteries b) is turned off c) is something that doesn't take batteries at all but brayden thinks should have more functionality.). I tried to convince brayden that the 6 foot stuffed spider wasn't the same as the one we saw at the store for a few minutes, then gave in and agreed that the spider did in fact need new batteries.

stephanie was driving brayden around with the boys in my car the other day. brayden loves daddy's car because in it he has the ability to control the window all by himself. Stephanie said she was driving down monroe and got stopped at a red light. Brayden took the liberty of rolling down his window, and wave and say "hi" to a guy walking down the street with his son and dog. The guy was nice enough to wave back.

those are the stories that I can come up with at the moment, although I'm sure I think of more soon (and a thousand more will happen in the meantime). The only other thing I can think of is that B has started saying "hey dadda" and "hey momma", like he's going to make a big announcement, instead of just "dadda" and "momma".

good times.
