I love the sayings of Peter. But now, I don’t have to go to my friends children to hear funny stuff—I’m related to kids who say funny things now. Here’s an example— Jenn’s cousins, Brad and Sylvia (Brad says “Hi!” by the way, Tim) stayed over last night on their way from Eagle Lake to Guelph. This morning, before work, I was hanging out with the kids out in front of the house. Lilly, three years old and the youngest of three was getting ready to leave and wanted to say goodbye, but she couldn’t remember Jenn’s name. So she asked me, “What’s the name of your lady friend?”

My lady friend? Oh, you mean Jenn! And that wasn’t the only gold she had to offer. She’s a three year old who understands the subtleties of sarcasm. When she wants to taunt her brother she says, “Porter, I love you. You’re generous.” She knows she doesn’t mean it and that it annoys him to no end being called generous. It’s great to listen too.

One more thing: Charlie refered to me as “that adult male.” More specificly, he asked “Seeing as that adult male is outside with us, can we go past the house if we’re with him?” I’m an adult male.

So, needless to say, I had a good time with the kids last night.
