He Really has an Answer for Everything

I can't quite remember what we were talking about, but I remember telling Ethan, "I sure hope you don't do that in school."
To which he responded, "No, I would never do that to Mrs. Koenen. I love her."
I said, "You love Mrs. Koenen? That's nice."
He replied, "Of course. I love everyone."
Just wondering what his answer might be, I asked, "So then why are you mean sometimes?"
Without missing a beat, he said, "Well, we're all sinners."

Little Hoarder!

Ethan's room is full of clutter. He loves to save everything....old school papers, wrappers, rocks, the Spanish handbook for my new camera, etc. I had to draw the line a few nights ago when I saw an empty toilet paper roll on the floor. I went to throw it away, and he shouted, "Don't throw that away, I need that."
I asked, "What for? Do you have a project in mind?"
He responded, "No, but I might need it someday."
Then just this morning I found a sock with a hole in the toe. He heard me throw it away and said, "Why are you throwing that away. I could use it for something."
Is there a hoarders show for Kindergartners?

It's Not What You Think!

While walking to the car after Olivia's dance class a couple days ago, Ethan and Olivia were singing the famous, "Step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back."
Then Ethan jumped onto the grass and said, "Step on the grass, and you love your mother....."
I bet you're all thinking what I was thinking, but no, he said...
"Soooo much!"

Facebook

Recently, I showed Ethan a neat picture. He looked at it and said, "Cool! If I had Facebook, I would totally like that!"

First Love Note

I pulled this out of Ethan's school bag the other day, and asked, "What's this?"

Ethan rushed over, pulled it out of my hand, and stated, "That's mine!"

Thankfully I was able to get it back long enough to at least make a copy to have on display on their wedding day!
