Random Comments

Anderson is a pretty typical 5 year old. He makes lots of funny, random comments. I think what makes it even funnier with him is that he talks. A lot. We have never had a child or met a child that talks as much as he does. I'm sure part of his large vocabulary and love of talking comes from the fact that he has grown up in a big English speaking family and every day he is surrounded by many Portuguese speaking friends. Whatever the reason he is always saying some funny stuff.

Some examples just from the last couple of days while going to/from school:

Anderson: "My hands are SOOO slobbery."
Benay: "They are? Why?"
Anderson: "Because I've pushed them together for about the last 6 minutes."

Anderson: "Dad, does garlic tomato exist?"

Me: (seeing Anderson with his cowboy hat on) "Hey cowboy."
Anderson: "I'm not a cowboy. I'm a gaúcho (Brasilian cowboy).
Me: "Right. Sorry."
Anderson: "Cowboys are not gaúchos they're Texastes."

Anderson: (he spells every word that he sees as we are driving and then asks what it spells) "What does EG spell dad?"
Me: "Nothing."
Anderson: "Dad, seriously what does EG spell?"
Me: "Seriously. It doesn't spell anything. It's not a word." (this lead into a 5 minute discussion)
Anderson: "Dad, okay then can you spell all the words that don't spell nothing."

Anderson: (looking at Giovanni in the backseat)"Me and Giovanni are the cutest in the family because Bronwyn "EH" (didn't really know how to spell this-so just think what a wrong answer buzzer might sound like on a game show), Ansley "EH", Garrett "EH" and Carys "EH"

Anderson: "Dad if you die I don't ever want mom to get married again because no one can resist you."
Dad: "Thanks buddy."
Anderson: "Do you know what resist means?"
Dad: "Don't think so."
Anderson: "It means no one can take your spot."
