Knock Knock!

Gabe: "Knock Knock!"

Justin: "Who's there?"

Gabe: "Banana!"

Justin: "Banana who?"

Gabe: "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?"

Shiloh

Gabe: "Mom, can we watch Shiloh? It has a lot of good lessons in it!"

Me: "Like what?"

Gabe: "Don't kick puppies."

Deep Thoughts: by Gabe

Driving home from church tonight in the Miata with the top down; Gabe looks up at the sky and thoughtfully says,

"The moon is a crescent tonight. I think that the crescent moons are God's fingernails, and the full moons are his head."

W.W.E. Squirrels

Gabe: "Mom! Look! Those squirrels are wrestling!"

Me: "Whoa, they must be REALLY mad at each other."

Phew.

Rationale

I love the reasoning (or lack there of) in five-year-olds.

On a recent drive home, Gabriel randomly asked me,

"Hey Mom, do you think those people could come knock our house down so we could go on a trip to Disney World?"

Scalloping?

We were given a great big trampoline for our back yard by a dear friend last week. The kids love it!!!

Gabriel: "Mom, LOOK! I'm scalloping!!!"

(He totally meant galloping)

Hot Lava

Gabe: "Mom, what do you think would happen if you mixed red paint with soap all over the floor?"

Me: "I think it would make a big mess."

Gabe: "You don't think it would make hot lava?"

Me: *groan*

Gabe: "Well, don't worry, I'll clean it up in my bathroom. What would I mix to make hot lava?"
