The AWESOME-NESS of a 5-year-old boy names Rob:
1.
ROB: "Mama, can you fix the TV?"
ME: "What wrong with it?"
ROB: "It's all fire dogs."
ME: "What?"
ROB: "Mom. It. Is. All. Fire. Dogs." (he says in his uber condescending 5 year old voice)
I walk in & see this:
2.
ROB: "I wish we were rich, mom."
ME: "Why is that, buddy?"
ROB: "So all the robbers would look at us & go, 'WHAT?!?'."
ME: "Really?"
ROB: "Yeah, & then they would write 'S's on their eyes."
ME: ***stares blankly***
ROB: ***stares back at me***
ME: "Oh, like $ on their eyes."
3.
ROB: "Hey, mom do you see this?"
He shows me this (a slinky with Egyptian figures hanging at the end) :
(Okay, so this one you'd kind of have to hear his voice. But the term "Spiral to the Past" was said in an ominous voice & if you think about how they visually show people traveling to the past it's like they travel through a spiral tube, so I TOTALLY get where he's going with this one.)
4.
ME: "Rob, please go brush your teeth."
ROB: "But I don't wanna."
ME: "What? Why?"
ROB: "Because I want them to get yellow so I can look like a pirate."
Umm... ewww....

Here's from his "All About Me" notebook:

One creative child....and a creative mom who can interpret him!! Keep up the good work!!
Ha ha I love it! Little kids say the funniest things when they aren't even trying to.
I was all.. What does he mean by fire dogs? I get it now.
Oh man, he is a hoot. I think our 5 year olds need to hang out!
rob is hilarious!! :)
My Court loves to collect children's conversations and quotes. She will love this:) "Kids say the darndest things" for sure.
Love it! 'Spiral to the past' pure awesomeness
Ha! He is at that developmental stage where there is no body in his drawing. You watch - in just a couple of weeks or months he will add the belly/body. He's a cutie!
I'm gonna call the black and white fuzz "fire dogs" from now on. It just makes sense, like "going crispy eggs."
these are my favorite posts!
You are right - total awesomeness. Every part of this post made me laugh out loud.
HaHaHaHa!
What a great imagination and mind! He is brillant...and so funny. Miss them all .
Haha! I love this post! I was cracking up while I was reading it.
FIRE DOGS??????!!!! Seriously! That is soooo cute! Oh man! Love that guy!
hahaha... Rob is one of a kind for sure. And Logan's profession of the week is to be a Costco Receipt checker. So, maybe Rob could be a body guard at Costco while Logan checks all the receipts. I can see this working.
