Garage's Echo

Katie got home a bit late tonight. She home schools a sweet little girl in her fifth grade class that has a heart problem and can't actually be at school right now.

After she got home we plopped on down to watch tonight's episode of Glee! Katie and Caleb treated themselves to popsicles from the fridge after dinner. Katie's was wonderfully cold and normal. Caleb's ended up exploding bits and pieces all over himself and me when he opened his. It was quite the sight. We both shared a silly little chuckle. Katie finished her snack quickly and Caleb handed me the rest of what he couldn't finish... which was most of it. The kid eats like a bird. Sheesh!

In the middle of "Sweet Caroline" on Glee we heard Caleb shouting that he couldn't throw the garbage away. These were his exact words: "Help! My arms aren't long enough. I can't reach the garbage can." I'm sorry if you don't find that funny but Katie and I were crying by the time I walked out there to help him out and throw my own popsicle stick away. He came in and we just looked at him and laughed again. What a silly kid.

In Caleb's own words I ask, "What's going to happen next?"

Maniacal Laughing in Bed

The adventures of Dude-apotamus continues...

A few weeks ago the three of us were laying in bed talking about all sorts of things. One of the topics that came up was about pregnancy. Katie goofily said to Caleb, "I had one heck of a hard pregnancy and it wasn't easy giving birth to you. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Without much of a pause Caleb retorted, "Excuse me!" I think the house shook with all the roaring laughter that erupted from that.

Katie then said, "You're funny. Do you have anything else to say for yourself about your birth?"

With a glimmer in his eye he chuckled, "Surprise!" I don't think the neighbors could sleep after all the laughing that Caleb was stirring up.

Katie, with tears in her eyes and winded from laughing, said, "I'll give you one more chance. What do you have to say now about it?"

Without any prodding he replied, "Special Delivery!" I'm sure you can all figure out what happened next.

Just so you all know, neither Katie or myself prompted or elicited these answers from Caleb. These all came from our darling three year old. If he keeps this up he's bound to be a very entertaining child. He's got a great start and plenty of time ahead to keep up with his slapstick humor and wonderful sarcasm (that he doesn't quite get yet). He's got a special knack for making others laugh.
