Ho Ho Holidays

"I have a dadaclaus."

"A what, Huddy?"

"A DADaclaus."

"What's a dadaclaus?"

"My dad and Santa Claus are dadaclaus. I like dadaclaus."

"Me too!"

On the drive in this morning...

"Mom, I want to go to work."
"You have to go to school."
"No, I want to go to the office."
"You don't, Hudson, trust me. I don't even want to go to the office today."
"Mom?"
"Yes, Hud?"
"I see dark."
"What do you mean?"
"Work is going to get darker and darker and darker."
<should I be worried???>

The voice of reason at story time...

"Mom, I like the truck!"
"Yeah?"
"Which one do YOU like?"
"Um... I like the camper!"
"Can I ride in the camper with you?"
"Of course!"
"You should ride in the truck with ME!"
"OK, Hud. Are you going to drive or do you want me to drive?"
"Mom. I have to ride in my car seat. You have to drive."
<but, of course!>

Man fight at the potty...

"DAD! You have a little vagina."

"YOU have a little vagina."

"No, dad. I have a big penis."

<burn!>

Driving past the Round Church...

"Look! That's where mommies and daddies get married!"
"That's right, Hudson. Do you know that YOUR mom and dad got married there?"
"I don't WANT to get married."
"That's OK Huddy, you don't have to get married. But, why don't you want to get married?"
"I don't want to get bigger and bigger and BIGGER."
"I don't want you to either, Hudson."
<sigh>

Bedtime stories...

"Huddy, mom's really tired tonight. I need to go to bed now."
"You can go in two minutes."
"OK."
"Talk on this page, mom."
"This is Washington DC. Mom and dad gave you this book on your first birthday, right before we moved."
"Oh."
"Huddy, mom's really tired. I'm going to go, ok?"
"Two minutes."
"It's already been two minutes."
"Well, you read this book to me and then you go. Does that make sense?"
"Did you just ask me if that makes sense?"
"Yes."
"That's RICH, Hudson."
"I'm a funny kid."
<how?? how is he so awesome??>

Weekend zingers...

"Hudson, can I have a kiss?"
"No, mom, I can't. I'm too busy."












"Look, Hudson. This is how a sewing machine works."
"Fancy that!"
"WHAT?"
"Fancy THAT, Mom!"
<dad> "Hudson, what century are you from?"






<dad>"Hudson, what color was the big excavator we saw today?"
"The same color as the little one."
