Kiddisms

Nik and Rowan are seriously cracking me up these days. Here are some funnies from our littlest dudes.
*****
Nik: "I here to help!"

Me: "Nik wants to be called 'Niky'. I like 'Niko'."
Rowan: "I like Niko, too."
Nik: "I like Rowan!"

"I watch dat movie when I was kid." LOL... he says 'when I was kid' all the time now because I laughed so hard the first time!
**
Rowan: "Darth Vader likes Phil Collins."

Me, to Keaton, "Have a good day!"
K: "You too!"
Rowan: "U2 is music!"

Rowan, picking his nose... as usual.
"Mommy, I have a booger."
Me: "Ooookaaay... would you like me to get a Kleenex?"
Ro: "Yeah. I don't wanna eat it in my mouth."

Keatonisms

Me: "I'm sorry if I haven't been very fun lately."
K: "You're always fun! Even if you don't feel like you are, I always have fun with you." 💜

"I can't show you how much I love you because my arms aren't long enough."

Looking at the red inflatable tube-like balloon with a face that waves around, used for advertising at the local mattress store:
Me: "Hey, the red dancing guy is out again!"
K, annoyed: "Why do they wanna sell so many mattresses?!?"

Honeymoon

It's Keatonism Tuesday again!
*****
Keaton, to me: "How about we go to the mall so me and my brothers can play? Then you can sit down and rest. You look pretty tired."

"A honeymoon is when you get a moon and we get honey and then we polish the moon with honey."

I got my Tae Kwon Do uniform today. I said to Keaton, "I got a uniform! I guess I'm legit now!"
Keaton: "You're the legitest."

Bob Ross

Happy Keatonism Tuesday!

*****
Me: "Time for pajamas."
Keaton: "Amen."

Me: "She's probably about ten years older than me."
K: (Long pause....)  "So she's like 100?"

"Mommy, I'm going to entertain my brothers so you can wash the dishes and rest and be by yourself."

"I love you 150%. And I don't love you 0%."

"Mommy, can you keep an eye on Snoopy? He has a fever. Sometimes he goes crazy."
Me: "What do I do if he goes crazy?"
K: "Just sing him a song."

K: "Mommy, when I go to school, will you put this toy back in my room for me?"
Me: "Sure."
K: "Okay. Just say it over and over in your head so you don't forget."

"Daddy, are speaking Sponge Bob?"

"What if Bob Ross was a Sponge, and then he dipped himself in paint and then painted? What if he cutted all of his hair off and then put an elastic band around it and painted with it?"

Rowanisms

There are only Rowanisms this week... One of these days maybe he'll let Nik talk!
*****
"I want ketchup on my pancakes."

"Mommy, please leave me malone."

"Mommy, Daddy is funny. And Nik and Baba Keaton is funny. You no is funny."

Parachutes

Happy Keatonism Tuesday!!
*****
Keaton said something I was thinking.
Me: "How did you know that?"
K: "I can read inside your mind." *Spooky*

Keaton was smacking at some dust floating in the sun beams.
K: "Mommy, what is the stuff floating around? Maybe it's germs."
Me: "You can't normally see germs floating around... "
K: "Maybe it's the germs' parachutes."

Isms.

There weren't any Keatonisms this week (I'm certain I just missed them) but there are two from the twins that were worth sharing!
*****
Nik: "Fireworks tickles my heart."

Rowan: "My heart needs coffee. And my tummy needs coffee. And my mouth needs coffee."

Twinisms

Twinisms!!
**
Rowan:
(Talking to his Curious George toy): "It okay, George toy. I hold you. "

"Nice eyes, Mommy!"

"Bye bye! Thanks a playing with me!" (to our neighbor Emily).

"1,2,3,4...ready for not, here I come!"

"Nik, you's a nice guy."

"Green beans help my ears."
**
Nik: "Mommy, nice Blackhawks shirt pick out!"

"I wake up Rowan? Hi Rowan, baby! "

Quoting Big Hero 6: "Hey-whoa. I Baymax, personal health-care 'panion."

Conversation I overheard this morning...
Nik: "I scared."
Rowan: "What you scared of, Nik? Rowan hold you."
Nik: "Yeah, Rowan hug Nik."
Rowan: "Okay." (Hugs him). "Mommy! Rowan hug Nik!"
Nik: "No I scared, Mommy. Rowan hold Nik."

"I was made to be silly."

Happy Keatonism Tuesday, friends! He was on a roll last week!
*****

Keaton: "Mommy, do you know what cows would say if they were backwards?"
Me: "What would they say?"
K: "Oooom!"

Keaton saw a cherry pie on the counter. "What's that? It looks like a real pie! Like they make on TV!"

"When it sprinkles, it's just God spitting."

Me: "So why is Darth Vader your favorite?"
K: "I was born that way."

After painting ceramics: "I'm like a real artist now."

"If everything was vanilla and strawberry then I would eat the whole earth."

"I was made to be silly."

Women don't snore.

It's Keatonism Tuesday! Enjoy!
*****
"Did you know, if you eat dog biscuits, it's really bad for you."

Me: "Your smile is just like Nik's."
K: "Oh, well then we must be brothers of smiling!"

"Women don't snore."

I'm behind!

Ummm... Is it Tuesday night? Yikes. Sorry... Here are your Keatonisms for the week!
*****
The twins were loud and fussy one morning. Okay, most mornings.
Me: "I wonder why your brothers are so grumpy in the morning."
K: "Because they're Hetricks."

I dropped a picture of Keaton.
Me: "Oops! I dropped you."
K: "If you really would've did it, I woulda broke my head off."

Keatonisms

Happy Keatonism Tuesday!
*****
"Do frogs eat bees? Because if they poop they would sting somebody."

"That's a pretty handsome car!" (Sporty purple Pontiac)

We were listening to Undone - The Sweater Song by Weezer. For those who don't know the song, the chorus is :

"If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked
Lying on the floor (lying on the floor)
I've come undone"

Keaton listened to this, thought for a second, and said, " He wouldn't be naked because he'd have pants on." Love this little smarty pants!

Keatonisms

Happy Keatonism Tuesday! Yesterday as I was helping Rowan get ready to leave, Keaton was busy helping Nik get his socks on... Voluntarily! He's such as sweet big brother!
*****

Nik put a bracelet on top of his head.
K: "You're King Nikolaus of Naperville".

To me, because he wanted to tickle me: "Can you please lift your armpits up?"

We were going through the map of the U.S., and I was quizzing him. He was having trouble remembering Wyoming.
Me: "This one sounds like it's asking a question... Why...?"
K: "Why-daho?"

My favorite local radio station is 101 WKQX. Thursday, Keaton had a fever.
Me: "Your temperature is 101."
K: "WKQX?"

K: "May the Ninja Turtles be with you."

Twinsday Wednesday

I haven't done Twinsday Wednesday in awhile, but here's a small compilation for you!
*****
Me: "Nik, did you go poo poo?"
Pointing at R2D2: "Nope. R2 poo poo."

Nik, talking about a Ninja Turtle toy that wasn't working: "Mommy, turtle power broke."

Nik: "Please, onion hat?" (Minion hat)

Me: "Do you guys wanna see the chipmunk?"
Nik: "Please see chip-monkey?"

Me, to Nik: "Do you have the hiccups?"
Nik: "No he-pucks!"

Nik: "Nik so happy!"
*
Rowan, watching Snoopy cry on TV: "Oh, gosh! Snoopy!"

Rowan started flapping his arms up and down.
Me - "Are you a bird?"
Rowan, shaking his head no: "Pterodactyl."

Keaton was pushing Rowan in the rocking chair.
Rowan to Keaton: "NO, Baba!"
Me: "Can you ask him nicely not to do that?"
Rowan: "No we will rock you, Baba."

Rowan: "Bob Ross paint it."

Listening to the radio:
Me: "Who sings this?"
Rowan: "Cage E El-Fant. I like it, Cage E El-Fant." (Cage the Elephant).

King Kong vs Hong Kong

Happy Keatonism Tuesday!
*****

Keaton: "Maybe elves aren't real."
Me: "If I were Santa, I'd want help!"
K: "Well he has five fingers on each hand, and five toes on each foot. That's help."

K: "King Kong is in China."
Me: "Hong Kong?"
K: "Oh, yeah."

"My tongue feels like a desert cracking."

Keaton talking about Casey and I, to his babysitter Janine: "Sometimes they have to go out by themselves because they are with us all the time, on the weekends and get bored."

In a moment

Happy Keatonism Tuesday, folks! Casey gave Keaton a (pretend) shaving lesson this weekend. Keaton was sure to ask me multiple times if his face was smoother and handsome like Daddy's. 😁
*****

Keaton : "What kind of rice is this?"
Me : "Dirty rice. It smells good!"
K: "It smells... dirty."

About Rowan: "He's as sharp as a shark."

"If my brain didn't work, I would be like jello."

Watching Frozen, talking to Nik: "This is set in western California."

To me : "You'll see it in a moment. And if not, you'll see it in another moment."

Keatonisms

"Funny things my brothers say should be called 'Brothersisms'."

"Mommy, I just learned that you should not glue something and then cut it with scissors. I made a big mess. But I guess it was just time for me to learn that lesson."

I saw a cardinal outside and I got caught up watching it eat birdseed. "Let's just focus on our food, Mommy."

Can't always get what you want

Happy Keatonism Tuesday!!
*****
I was searching for something in the van: "Mommy, what are you looking for? A flying pig?"

I apparently remembered something differently than Keaton thought I should.
K: "You misunderstand yourself."

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" came on the radio. I explained that it was by the Rolling Stones, and Mick Jagger was singing. Keaton listened to the chorus and said, "He is the rightest person in the whole world."

Cheer for both teams!

Happy Keatonism Tuesday, and last day of March!!
*****
Casey to Keaton, talking about the vent in the bathroom ceiling: "That hole in the ceiling, do you know what goes up there?"
K: "Poop."

We were sitting down to breakfast, and I had to take Rowan's R2D2 toy away so he would eat.
K, trying to comfort Rowan: "But you have D2 in your heart."

I decided to do my hair and makeup one day before picking Keaton up from school. It doesn't happen often. He gets into the car and starts drilling me. "Where are you going? Why do you look pretty?" LOL

"Oh my world." (Oh my word.)

(When one of his brothers was having a meltdown) "He's slap-angry."

K: "Did the Irish team win?" (Notre Dame vs Wichita State.)
Me: "Yes they did."
K: "So that means the team you were cheering for didn't win?"
Me: "Yep. That's the way it's been this season...all the teams I cheered for lost."
K: "Well maybe you should cheer for both teams, that way one of them will win."
