Garrettisms

Here are a couple of Garrettisms from the past week...

We drove to Utah and left Yaya and Grandpa Rod in Colorado Springs for a night. Their flight wasn't until the next day and we had to travel based on weather predictions. Garrett gave Grandpa Rod all kinds of instructions/rules. A while after he'd rattled off his list of rules he came back down and told Rod, "Oh yeah, don't sleep with my teddy bears, because you scare them... and don't wear my necklaces." Gpa Rod said, "Can I use your money to buy something?" To which Garrett quickly replied, "You have your own money."

Then on the drive to Utah, Garrett tells Gavin, "When you sit for a long time it feels like the circles on my bum-bum are getting bigger, you know spreading out." On the way home he complained that his bum circles weren't spreading anymore, now it felt like they were being stabbed with a knife.

We went to visit my grandma in Utah. We were looking at some old photos from nearly 40 years ago and we saw one of Grandma Beth. He looked at the picture, then looked at her and said, "Man, you've gotten a lot older!"

After a trip to the dollar store, Garrett was taking a poopy break at Grandma Dot's. Garrett (who has wiped himself for sometime now) hollers out, "Help, can somebody help me? There's an out-a-control poopy here." He didn't have any of those wet flushable wipes and is not an expert at t.p. wiping. Darin went in to check on him and Garrett said, "Man, I don't have any wipeys, I guess I should have bought some at the dollar store."

One night when I was tucking him in bed he asked me if he was ever going to have a stepmom. I told him probably not. Then he wondered about a stepdad, same answer. He said, "I'm glad because I dont' ever want a stepmom or stepdad." I said, "Well, some stepmoms and stepdads are really nice, like Carlos." He replies, "Well if I ever have a stepmom, I'll never forget you and when I die to heaven I'll come find you and I'll find daddy and gavin and kierstin and gma and gpa and devon and carlos and all my friends."
