Garrettism

We had several Garrettism's on our trip, but I can't remember them...so I'll post them as I remember. We were all at the swimming pool. Gavin was swimming in the big pool, Kierstin was wandering, and we were all hanging out. We looked over and Garrett was in the hot tub with an older couple - probably 70 or so. He was just talking up a storm with them. My mom went over and got in the hot tub with him. He turned his back to them and looked at my mom and mouthed, "They're British." Understandably she didn't know what he was saying. He whispered it. Still no comprehension. So, he sighed and said aloud, "They're British, they're from Britain." When Garrett got out of the hot tub the couple told him goodybye. My mom told Garrett to say goodbye, but he wouldn't, he just kept walking. My mom asked him why he wouldn't say bye and he said, "Because they're British and I don't think they can understand me very well." I think he was figuring it was so hard for him to understand them, it must work the other way around.
Next he came over to talk to me. I asked him what he was talking about with his new friends. He said they were asking him things like how old he was. I asked him if he answered their questions. He chuckled and said, "I told them I was 5." I said, "Oh, man, did you forget you were six?" He kind of shook his head yes, and then the true tall tellin' Garrett took over and said, "Oh, no, because in Britain their time is different, so I'm really five in Britain."
