Funny Boys

Ivan and Grant have been just cracking me up this week, with all of their antics. Tonight, we had what some might call a "topsy turvy" dinner. We just call it - breakfast for dinner. I was making pancakes and the boys were bored. So, I set them up with watercolor paints at the kitchen table and had Mary in her highchair next to me. After a little while, Grant said, "We're going to make hand prints, Mom." I said, "OK... just keep the paint on your paper, please." When I turned around, I found this. They said, "We decided to be zombies instead!" Once again... Scooby Doo on the brain. Grant's "funny" for the week:

This conversation took place as I took the kids through my favorite drive thru the other day - Coffee Fusion. Every once in a while, we'll go through and I will let them each pick a treat to munch on, while I indulge in my caffeinated beverage of choice. As we approached the window...

Grant said, "Mommy? I would like a macaroni donut, please." I was trying to figure out what he had said.

I repeated him, "A macaroni donut?"

He said, "Yes, you know, it's round... a cookie... they have them here." I was racking my brain trying to get this one (sometimes it's like a game - how quickly can you figure out what your 3 year old is saying to you?!).

I thought maybe he meant our local donut shop... "Tato Nut?"

"Nooooooo!... Macaroni DONUT!" pause.... frustration growing... "THEY HAVE THEM HERE!"

Oh help... please not a melt down. Then it came to me - Grant's most recent cookie discovery:
"White Chocolate Macadamia Nut?"

"Yes."

Whew.


Ivan's "funny" for the week:

Watching Scooby Doo (the episode affecting their brains above)... It's a setting where Scooby and the gang are in the Roman colliseum, about to be attacked by angry, spooky gladiators coming out from the shadows...

Grant: "What are those, Ivan?"

Ivan: "Those are ART MAJORS, Grant."

Me (with a chuckle): "You mean, 'Gladiators,' Ivan?"

Ivan: "Oh... yeah. GLADIATORS!"

Nice... what am I to think of this correlation?!!!
