Rob-isms

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: 

Get it? Black & White spots like dalmatians. 

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) :
 ROB: "Is it a 'Slinky Ride' OR is it a 'Spiral to the Past'?"  
(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....


5. 
Here's from his "All About Me" notebook:
When he grows up he wants big muscle-y arms so he can be a wrestler. Which is apparently his profession of choice this week. Just look at those meaty shoulders.

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."

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.
