It was funny because one day last week we were doing group research projects on the continents. One of my kids said "I don't want to go home!" Then the rest of them chimed in that they were having too much fun to go home. I had to pinch myself to make sure I hadn't stepped into the Twilight Zone.
I drove home on Saturday to see my parents. My nephew, Wes (4), was staying with my parents for a few days. He is truly the wittiest child I have ever come across! Lisa was with me. As we were driving into town to eat, Wes told Lisa she was the funniest girl he knew. At dinner I was singing along with the Violent Femmes song (Gone Daddy Gone) playing in the restaurant. He told me I was freaking him out. Good to know that I can freak a four-year-old out! He also told Lisa if she said something one more time he was going to have to "freak" her. I don't think she pressed the issue to see what he meant by that! I think he has discovered that he is funny. Before he would just say things with a deadpan affect. Now he's kinda into his own humor.

Kids say the darndest things! But you know what Lisa is a pretty funny "girl". So sounds like he is also incredibly bright! Must be the genes.
Oh, my goodness! Wes! How sweet. I'm really glad for you about your teaching this year! Sounds like things will be way better.
what a cute nephew, must take after his aunt, haha :) Hey, check out my site and see the new pic posted of my dog :)
One of my favorite Wes-isms was when he told me he came to stay with me to keep me safe from the "Lizzard", (a big white one, meaning "blizzard").
It's time for some more Wes's-side stories!
Well, Tim, I haven't seen Wes since then, but I do need to update the blog! I have some new pics to post, I just haven't been home much to catch up!
Hey Sarah,
I met your aunt and uncle at Saturn. They were so very nice. Sweet couple.
Though I was a bit surprised at the dirt they started sharing on you. Almost as if you've lead a double life. I'm almost concerned.
