Funny Isaac

1) The other night we were talking about how Uncle Mark is getting married soon.

Isaac then asked me and Erik how old we were when we got married. When we told him 23, he exclaimed "23?!?! That's too young to get married!"

The way he said it cracked me up! He must have been talking to his Grandma Lindstrom, because that's what she used to tell me and Erik back when we were dating. :)

2) Another day, while Ginny and Ezra were at their basketball clinic, Isaac and I were heading to the bakery. Isaac decided I was going the wrong way (because it wasn't the way he'd gone with his dad the week before), and started giving me directions. To tease him, I said "Isaac, maybe we aren't going to the bakery. Maybe we're going somewhere else that I'd rather go."

He responded in his most serious mommy-voice, "Mommy, it's only three blocks. You'll survive."

It was so funny because it was an almost perfect imitation of me. I say that very thing to him (with various numbers) all the time!

3) This one isn't funny, as much as it just exasperating. Last night, while he was supposed to be getting into pajamas, he peeked his little head out the door and said "Mom, I went potty in the toilet."

I was kind of taken aback since it was very out of the blue, and he's been potty trained for quite a while now, so I said "That's good Isaac. That's where you should go potty."

At that point, Erik walked by and Isaac looked at him and forcefully insisted "I went potty in the toilet, daddy!"

His insistence raised my suspicions, so I asked him "Isaac, did you miss the toilet?" and he responded that he had maybe dripped a little on his socks. But the look on his face told both me and Erik that he was lying his little pants off.

Erik proceeded into the bedroom to check the damage, and Isaac gave in and shame-facedly confessed that he had, in fact, gone potty on his bedroom carpet. That little stinker!
