Kids say the darndest things part 2 (Drew)

When it comes to "quantity" of funny things said, Hayden takes the cake.  But he isn't the only contributor. All of my kids can say some pretty funny things.

Most of the funny things that Drew says are funny because he is so serious! He really is trying to solve a problem or figure something out . . . and sometimes his logic is just funny. 

The weekend that Lamon went to the Grand Canyon I wanted to have fun with the kids. So we planned on going to McDonalds, having a sleepover downstairs and watching a movie etc. etc. Well we went over to Grandma Neuberts for a while and when it was time to go we needed to clean up and I was telling the kids, "Come on! Let's hurry and clean up. Remember we are going to have a sleepover tonight . . . and watch a movie . . . ?"
Drew just turned to me quite aggitated  and asked me, "Why do we always have to celebrate when Dad leaves?" I thought it was so hilarious I started laughing. But he really was truly concerned about Dad missing out on our fun.

Drew is a problem solver too. The other day I was having a hard time remembering something and Drew sat there thinking and he turned to me and said, "Mom! I know how you can NOT forget about things!" He looked like he had just come across the most amazing idea. He said, " . . . Just write it on a piece of paper and then stick it on your face when you sleep!" He was completely serious. But hey . . . I bet that might work!

Drew does like to try to solve problems and make things better. Hayden and Tilson stayed home from church a couple weeks ago because they were sick. Well at church Drew walked up to a mother of one of Hayden's friends and very seriously told her, "Um . . . I would really appreciate it if you would have your son write Hayden a letter." It was pretty funny. She was a little puzzled. I explained that Hayden was sick. The way that Drew said it though just made both of us parents laugh. He was talking to her as if he were an adult. "I would really appreciate it if . . . " I love it. And the sweet thing was that her son Jayden did in fact bring a letter by just as Drew requested.
Oh Drew I love you!
