Alex and Cami Quotes

We were playing Rook (Alex too). As we ended a game Vern was counting up the points, and was looking for the "kitty." He said "Where's the kitty?"

Vern was putting Alex to bed. Alex pulled his pants legs up past his knees, and Vern asked him what he was doing. "I'm just letting these long legs get some fresh air." age 3



Yesterday (Sunday) was an especially nice Spring day, and after lunch Vern and Alex played bat and ball in the parking lot at church. Today Alex was talking about it and I asked if he had fun playing ball. Says he: "The balling was a blast but the churchin' wasn't." almost 4

Cami wandered into Alex's room this morning and proceeded to wake him up by climbing into his bed and pulling on him. He woke up all groggy and protested "Get her down; she'll mess up my dreams!" almost 4

"When I get big I will have a son named Peter. My wife and I will have 3 boys and 3 girls - 6 children. My 1st boy will be named Alex. My 2nd boy will be named Peter. My 3rd boy will be named Samuel. "What will you name your girls?" I asked. "My first girl will be named Tammy. My 2nd girl will be named Cami Jo. My 3rd girl will be named Christa. Yep! My wife and I will have LOTS of children when we get married. (chuckling) I guess we'll just be pregnant all the time! Happy and pregnant!!" Alex age 4 1/2

Cami and Alex jumped up from drinking their tea.
Cami: "Alex, I want you to put me in jail."
Alex: "Okay!" "Did you murder?"
Mommy, shocked: "Alex! Do you know what that means?"

Alex, confidently: "Yeah, it's when you're driving down the road and you throw something out the window, and the Police sees you and he stops you."

Mommy, relieved, explains the difference between "murder" and "litter." ages 6 1/2 and 3 1/2

We went into the handicapped stall of a public restroom and Cami asked "Why is this one so big?" So I hurriedly explained. As she went about her business I heard her remark "Well I don't need a wheelbarrow!" age 5

So, we were on our way to church, and stopped for fuel. I turned around and looked at the kids in the backseat. "You guys are some pretty good-looking kids, you know that?" I said. Alex shrugged and said "huh!" and acted like he had no idea till now. Cami said smugly: "I looked in the mirror before we left." ages 7 and 4
