PTOOOEY!
When my brother and I reached the ages of know-it-all and smartass, my mom would so rudely interrupt the awesomeness of playing Nintendo or watching Saved by the Bell and tell one of us to "hit the shower". Either my brother or I would promptly get up without complaining, walk to the bathroom, literally smack the tiles, walk back to the living room and continue what we were doing. Were we cool or what? OK, no. I still think that's funny.
Clearly, my mom has not learned her lesson in the past 15 or 20 years...
My nephew will be three in March and he LOVES TO TALK. Like, talking is his favorite thing. (Unless, of course, he doesn't know you. Then he reminds me of the Warner Brothers frog.) When he gets super excited, he sometimes stammers. I think this can be typical in youngsters. (I hope he grows out of it. When I'm REALLY upset or nervous, I have to really work not to stammer.) Anyway, here is how a conversation between my mom and my nephew went the other day:
Clay: "Grandma?"
Mom: "Yes, Clay?"
Clay: "Grandma?"
Mom: "What, honey?"
Clay: "Can I- Can I- Can I- Can I-..."
Mom: "Spit it out."
My nephew looked at my mom sort of confused-like and then spit on the living room floor.
I admit it. I laughed.
God, I love that kid.

how cute! :) my nephew is more like "max" from ruby and max. doesn't really say anything on his own but will repeat whatever you say.
THAT was the laugh I needed to get my day back on track! Sounds like a kid after my own heart!
Love it! Being a preschool teacher, his reaction didn't surprise me at all.
Mia used to stammer. I think the words were moving too fast in her little brain, and her mouth couldn't keep up. 'Can I' was one of the phrases she'd get caught on, too!! CUTE.
I love that he spit. Such an honest reaction from a sweet little boy :)
Hilarious!!!! :)
