they make me laugh

All kids say funny stuff, and these two rascals are no different. By the way, isn't Bran seriously a handsome little guy?? Is that fishing for compliments for my own child? I think so, but, still...Look how dapper he looks in his little suit! I love it. Nuala's quite gorgeous too, of course, but something about a suit on a little boy... These shots were an attempt to document how well they shine up for church (Nuala didn't really wear the hat TO church...just had fun with it beforehand). Turned out pretty well, shockingly...

Anyway, funny things they've said lately...and it's kinda Bran-heavy, just because I've been in range of something to jot them down with when he's said these (Nuala can bust out the funnies, too, I'll try to write down more of hers).:
Me: (to myself, as I was putting together the really cool Indiana Jones lego set my bro gave me) I have no clue how to put this together...
Bran: (encouragingly from the sidelines) You know how put this together! You big! You can do it!
--------------------
Bran: (to me, as he's trying to get me to look for an impossibly lost little item) Have to wook awound! (switches exasperated voice to one of bribery) If you wook awound, I give to you this queso... (enticingly holding out the cheese he's been gnawing on.)
--------------------
Bran: I not want leche (milk) or pasas (raisins)! I WANT my bones to break! (he wanted his cereal all by itself, and I had been telling him that milk would keep his bones strong)

Nuala: (looking at a random ad that popped up on Zac's facebook) Who's that?
Zac: Glenn Beck.
Nuala: I like him! I want marry him!
--------------------
Nuala: (stroking Bran's head) I like your hair. You're weally handsome, Ban. I want to marry you.
(The child is obviously on a getting married kick)

Nuala: (peering into my lotion bottle) Let me look with my blue ojo (eye)!
--------------------
Me: I think a spider bit you...
Bran: It make me turn into Spidyman?
Nuala: Spider bite me, too!
Bran: Make you turn into Spidyman?
Nuala: No, I turn into niƱa (girl) Spidyman!
--------------------
Bran: (at breakfast, sticking his arms behind his back) I have no arms!
Me: That would be sad!
Bran: But why?
Me: Well, you couldn't hold your tse-tse (what he calls his blankie), or suck your thumb, or hug your mommy, or fight with swords, or wrestle with Nuala...
Nuala: Ban wrestle with him boca (mouth)!
Bran: (scoffingly) I no wrestle with my boca! It might be owie, my teeth might bite you!
Bran: (in the car, rather foolishly directing a question at a screaming, tantrum-throwing Nuala) What you like to eat, Buggy?
Nuala: (incoherent screaming because he dared talk to her)
Bran: No yell at me! Say something, Daddy...say, "no yell!"
--------------------
Bran: (coming in from the backyard, talking to himself) He-MAN, He-MAN, He-MAN...
Bran: (in a high-pitched voice) What you talkin' about, Ban?
Bran: (normal voice) I talkin' about He-MAN! Like DIS! He-MAN, He-MAN, He-MAN...

Ha ha, Lol! They are sooooo funny! And yes, Bran is strikingly handsome in his suit! I love the fake handkerchief in the pocket matching the tie, so sophisticated! I can't decide on my favorite funny line, the last one REally cracked me up though, hee hee. They're such little characters, can't wait to see them soon!

Hey Fiona/Zach, enjoyed the post...funny kids. Did you figure out how to put your Indiana Jones lego set together? Nice of Bran to have such confidence in you.

Lol, those are so funny. Super cute pictures, I love the suit too. Hmm... can't decide which is my fave...so cute how Bran tried to bribe you with the cheese! I can't wait to see those two cuties! And their new sister too, of course!

Oh my goodness...I have tears in my eyes! Those two are hilarious! Bran offering his queso was particularly amusing, LOL. He does look very dapper in his suit and wow! I'm impressed by how straight Nuala's bangs are! Did you do that, Fiona? Very nice!

Hi there ...
... and, good thing Bran's 2, well, nearly 3 ... but good thing, or else he'd never get away with wearing those awesome shoes with his dapper suit!!! Oh that was hilarious, we have just finished some serious LOL ... they are properly manipulative, even at that early age, aren't they!!! ... like N taking Dad to task for not rescuing her from B's "taunts" ... he has some sage advice for his Mom about the lego set too ... hmmm, I wonder if you'd actually have been able to claim ALL his queso had you found the lost thingy ... the pics are beautiful ... they are a super cute little pair ... thanks for sharing ... love, Mom (Dad too) xox

Sutherlands said...

Oh they are so, so funny! I love that you are documenting all of this stuff! Just think about what you can do with this material when Nuala really does get married...not that she will ever grow up...don't be sad Fiona, she will be little forever, right?

So good that you are capturing some of these things. I always think we should, but then we don't and then you start to forget some of them.

Oh yeah, they make me laugh too. They are getting cutier by the day.
