Tyler-isms

Scene 1: Ty spent the weekend with my parents. On Saturday afternoon, my mom placed a bowl of Spaghettios in front of Ty. Ty being Ty- shook his head and said "I don't want Spaghettios." My sister who was in the kitchen whips around and tells Ty that there are starving kids in Africa that would love to have that bowl of Spaghettios. Ty sat there for a minute, then turned to Melissa and said, "I don't live in Africa."

Scene 2: Preschool rug time. They are learning about pioneers tonight. They have a guest speaker telling them stories about the little boys and girls that crossed the plains. She turned to them and asked them, "Does anyone know how that pioneers got here?" Ty throws his hand up in the air and yells out "Heavenly Father and Jesus sent them here!" Which was true... to a point. Though probably not the answer they were looking for at Preschool.

Scene 3: Ty has been asked four times to put his seatbelt on. I start to count (usually the only thing that gets his butt in gear). I get to "2" and Ty puts his hands on his hips and says "You quit talking back to me Mama!" I might have popped him if I hadn't been trying to cover up the fact that I was laughing.

Scene 4: I asked Ty what he thought we should get his dad for his birthday (it's in a couple of weeks). Ty sat thoughtfully for a minute before turning to me and saying, "something boring." I asked why we should get dad something boring and Ty told me that it was because he liked boring things. I kind of sniggered, but asked him if we shouldn't get dad something fun instead- and Ty said no. It needed to be boring- "Maybe something for his work." So if you end up with a paper-clip for your birthday Shaun... I'm sorry....
