The things kids say....

A couple of funny things Zack has said lately that have made me laugh:

While shopping at Costco:
Z: Mom, would you allow me to have a pet monkey?
M: No.
Z: (spoken sadly) Yeah, cause it would probably rip your head off or something.

Snuggling on the couch on Sunday:
M: Kisses Z's head.
Z: You know what this means.
M: What?
Z: You're going to have to get a divorce. So you can marry me!

At church, staring at the cute baby in front of us:
Z: (wistfully) I wish we could have a baby like that!
M: Me too.

Upon waking me up a week ago:
Z: Are we going to the gym today?
M: No. (I took a break for a few weeks and got lazy)
Z: (Yelling) How am I supposed to play with my friends if we never go to the gym?! (It is sad to me that most of his friends are from the gym daycare, we really need to move somewhere with more kids in the neighborhood.)
M: Fine, lets go! (I sure feel better now that I am back in the game! Thanks Zack!)

While at the pool, a couple of weeks ago, he really wanted to jump off the diving board for the first time ever. We went together and I jumped first, when I surfaced he was running to the towel in tears. He kept trying but just chickened out. We went back to swimming and after a while he said to me: "Mom, I am going to do it! I am going to jump off the diving board this time and I am NOT going to quit!" And he did, again and again. Way to go!
