~Leprechaun Conversations~

From an assignment Eamon did for St. Patrick's Day at school...

How to Catch a Leprachan by Eamon Wood

Frist, I would make lazers you cant see. 

Then, I would make the lazers moove. 

Next, I would stele the gold. 

Last, I would make a fake pot of gold to make him thinck its real.


*sigh* Stealing from the horizontally-challenged?  Geez, what do they teach kids in schools these days? ;)

~Blue Conversations~

For some reason, Eamon decided he wanted to watch an old Blue's Clues DVD this morning...

Steve (on TV show):  "I need to paint something the green but I don't have that color in my paint set.  I wonder what two colors I can mix together to make green..."

Eamon: [speaking to TV]  "Blue and yellow."

Steve (on TV show): "Do YOU know which colors I should use?"

Eamon:  [now yelling at TV] "BLUE AND YELLOW!  You should know this!"

~Surprise Conversations~

While trying to view my pre-recorded online lecture for class...

Eamon:  "Mommy, I have a surprise for you.  Don't turn around..."

Turning around anyway...

Eamon:  <pelts me with his dirty socks>  "Surprise!" 

Me:  "Well now you get to put your dishes in the sink AND mine.  Surprise!"

Eamon:  "Hey, no fair!" 

~College Conversations~

While discussing how long Rowan might be in college...

Eamon:  "You can go to college for four days or four years."

Me:  "It's more like four years, sweetie."

Eamon:  "No, some people don't have to go that long.  Like Martin Luther King skipped a grade.  I think he skipped college too."

Me:  "No, sweetie, he definitely went to college!  His title was Doctor Martin Luther King, which means that he went to college for a very long time to earn that."

Eamon:  "Whatever.  I just can't wait to be a mechanic so I can build pod racers.  Everything will be a dollar."

Me:  "That's very generous of you." 

Eamon:  "Yeah.  I just need to come up with a symbol for the new kind of racers I'm going to make."

~Nasal Conversations~

While discussing joint popping...

Rowan:  "I can even pop my nose!  *pop*  Which is kind of weird since there are no bones in there..."

Eamon:  "Cool!  Yeah, my nose is made of carnage, not bones."

Me:  "What?!"

Eamon:  "My nose is made of CARNAGE."

Me & Rowan:  <BWAHAHAHA!> 

Me:  "Cartilage, your nose is made of cartilage."

Eamon:  "Ohhhh!"

~Snowman Conversations~

While looking through Eamon's school stuff after picking him up...

Me:  "Nice snowman picture, buddy.  Hey, why is there an arrow drawn through his midsection..."

Eamon:  <MANIACAL LAUGHTER>

Me:  "Umm, and in this other picture you drew, the guy has X's over his eyes..."

Eamon:  <MORE MANIACAL LAUGHTER>

Me:  "Dude, seriously!  What's up with these?"

Eamon:  "I like drawing dead people.  The one with X's on his eyes died of old age.  Besides, they're just snowmen and you can do anything you want to snow men."

I guess you can't argue with that logic. ;)


Mark assures me that it's quite normal for little boys to draw dead things.  Hmmm....


~Insurance Conversations~

After watching an ad for the Gerber Growup life insurance plan...

Eamon:  "100,000 dollars?! I want a 100,000 dollars!! If I had a 100,000 dollars, I could probably buy... what's that ship called mommy?"

Me:  "The Millenium Falcon?"

Eamon:  "Yeah!  I would buy the Millenium Falcon!  And you know what's cool about that?  It comes with Lego Chewbacca and you have to built him!"

Me:  "Ahh, so you're referring to the Lego Millenimum Falcon that you would buy with your $100,000!"
