On the way to visit a friend, Matthan had a little accident so I just decided to make a quick stop at Wal-Mart to buy him some pants. I explained what we were doing to him and this was his response – “Wal-Mart? That is unacceptable Mommy!” I’m not sure when he became such a store snob.
Matthan was having a great day, obeying so well. My compliment to him was, “Matthan, you rock!” His response – “I am NOT a rock!” So, I said, “Okay, you’re awesome!” – “Yes, I AM awesome!” I’m thinking confidence will not be a problem with this child.
I wish I could remember what he was saying, but it was not something good and I gave him THE look and a firm “Matthan.” He responded with – “Sorry, Mommy, I was just being rude.” He obvioulsy didn’t get in any further trouble after that apology.
While in the car running errands with me – “There sure are a lot of stores in Florence! But, there is no Publix!” He really wanted to go to Publix so he could get a cookie.
A few Sundays ago after church Matthan looked at me inquisitively and asked, “Where is God?” To which I responded, “He’s in heaven.” Wrong answer! He quickly shook his head and said, “NO! He is in my heart!” : )
And, my favorite one of all . . .
After I said the blessing at lunch last week. Matthan put his hand on my back and said- “Can I pray for you Mommy? … Dear God, thank you for my Mommy” He is precious, absolutely precious!
The funny things he says – part 1



oh so sweet! I love his answer to where God is and wanting to pray for you… makes a mommy proud doesn’t it!
I know it’s no Publix but he can get a cookie at Harris Tetter….and if they’re ever out of them ask for Jan in the deli and she’ll get him one
That is too great! He can just melt your heart!
I agree, he is a precious boy!!
my favorite so far has been – when holding the bag of goldfish crackers that he could not open “Mommy, its closed…like the museum!” – awesome. and an awesome day!
Umm…I know where he got the store snob thing from…I seem to remember a post about him thinking you lived at Target. Just an observation….
Awww he is soooo precious.
he is one cool kid!!
