1-2-3.....Put your phrase here

Tonight we did some last minute shopping with my cousin and his wife to get the things we need before we head back to Brasil on Monday.  We were blessed by our short time with them. 

Bronwyn, Ansley, Garrett, Carys and Anderson were also with us.  It was kind of wild and it's never boring when so many of our kids go shopping with us.  

Bronwyn started bugging Garrett about his long hair and how he needed a haircut. Garrett NEVER wants to cut his hair. 

After some friendly play fighting between the two about the haircut, we got this exchange:

Garrett:  "1-2-3.......Be quiet."
Bronwyn:  "1-2-3......Cut your hair."
Garrett:  "1-2-3......Go to college."

Classic.  

I have no idea why they put the 1-2-3 before they cracked on each other but it worked for their conversation.  You can actually put anything behind the 1-2-3 beginning and somehow it works. 
Go ahead.....try it. 

It's not always good natured play fighting, like tonight, between the kids but we know they love each other and will always stand up to protect their brothers and sisters. 

We also know that, even though he might not admit it, Garrett will miss Bronwyn when she goes to college next year.  

Until then, we'll keep enjoying these funny conversations.
