Struggling

This morning, Simon pointed out, "I'm struggling to sit up."

The other day, Simon asked, "Can I buy a necklace, or a watch for my wrist?"
Jeff asked, "You want a necklace?"
Simon replied, "There's nothing wrong with fashion.."
He quickly forgot the necklace when he saw comics. Teehee!

I was once again impressed by Simon and his reading skills, when he read "atrocious" without a pause or struggle. Jeez, this boy!

Jeff and I were discussing math curriculum. Simon shouted from the other room, "It's not going to happen, Mom! You can't make math fun!"

Bonjour!

I overheard Simon playing with his Lego guys this morning:
Lego guy #1: "Bonjour!"
Lego guy #2: "I didn't know you could speak Spanish!"
Lego guy #3: "That's just a bunch of hippie, dippy, bologna."

Simon: "Don't you think my Tenkai Knights look like knights?"
Me: "No, I think they look like robots."
Simon: "It's not their fault. I think the artist had a problem when he was drawing them, or something."

Simon: "Mom, I can't find my [Lego guy] shield!"
Me: "We'll probably find it under the chair or someplace like that."
Simon: "I don't like that word, "probably". How about we say, "We will find it!"?"

How a Man Sleeps

Simon: "I want to sleep with my shirt off, like a man does."

Simon: "Do you want me to tell you what "expenses" is?"
Me: "Uh...okay."
Simon: "It's little things that you waste your money on."

Simon: "Mom, guess what? I'm a follower of the Lord!"

Simon: "Me and Ryland have a secret handshake."
Me: "Really? What is it?"
Simon: "I don't remember. It is secret, though."

Simon: "How can Luke and Leia be twins? They don't even have the same haircut!"

Silly Shakespeare

Simon: "I don't like Sesame Street. It's like a huge rash that won't go away!"

Simon has built a Lego Transformer that transforms into a shampoo bottle. I have no idea why.

Simon: "Mom, can I watch "Much Ado About Nothing"?"
Me: "You wouldn't like it, buddy."
Simon: "Why not?"
Me: "Because it's Shakespeare, so it's a little hard to understand."
Simon: "Oh....'cause he can't talk right. That's why it's "ado". He spelled it wrong. It's supposed to be "to do". Silly Shakespeare."
