Momma got no style

"Op-op-op-op-opan gangnam style!" "Mom, you can't sing that. You're not rich." "Umm..." "Wait, are you rich?" "No." "Yeah, you can't sing that."

I'm taking away early morning xbox.

‎"Mom, we need more batteries. The battery in this controller only has one more life." He also just hipstered me. "This game is Star Wars. You probably didn't know it was a game."

Exactly.

"Some days I just don't feel like reading the news."

"Like on Mondays when it's chicken for lunch and I just don't feel like eating chicken."

New York Has That Effect

"So now you've seen the Statue of Liberty, Liam." "...and now we're free." Bill let Liam have a piggy back ride. "Because walking is for suckers." Liam: points at me "SUCKER!"

I told him to stop growing up

"If I was a bitty baby again, I would knock over all your stuff. Keep that in mind."

Gross

"Do you want to take a bath tonight?"
"No."
"Do you like being a stinky boy?"
"I don't care, I can't smell myself."

First Tooth Lost!

"I don't know if the tooth fairy is real, but I hope I get five dollars."

DINOSAWR

Liam keeps quoting Samuel L. Jackson's "hold onto your butts" from Jurassic Park. Then he said "I sound just like him, don't I?"

Yes, kid. Your little pipsqueak voice sounds just like him. :3

My Ears!

While listening to my Katy Perry station on Pandora, and me singing along with it, Liam asked:

"Wouldn't it be cool if there was music with the beat but without the singing?"

"Don't like my singing?"

"It gets a little noisy."

We now have an electronica station.

Good Start

Liam saw Archer on the "recently watched" on netflix and he asked if he couldn't watch it because they had guns. That among many other things.

"Rule Number One: I will stay away from someone who has a gun."

Favy Favs

"Mom, you know what's my favorite color? You're my favorite color."

Top Pianist? Psh. He best learn to play ALL the notes.

Today we went to the Lollipop concert with the Cincinnati Pops. It's a fantastic program and Liam really loves going. Because Lang Lang was in town to play with the Symphony tonight, he performed Chopin's Black Key Etude Op. 10 No. 5. He performed with just his hands, and then with an orange (pretty awesome).


Liam's take?


"He only knows how to play with the black keys? He can't play the white ones?"

Deafening Silence

"Tip-toe, tip-toe, tip-toe..."
"You're goofy."
"I'M TIP-TOEING, YOU CAN'T HEAR ME."

Hurray! His first loose tooth!

"Mom! My tooth is wiggling!"

Unapproved Sleep Interruption

We've been trying to use Liam's alarm clock to wake him up, since he doesn't wake up very well. This morning I thought he was going to sleep straight through it until he came out and said,

"I was sleeping, but my alarm clock was too loud and woke me up."



That is exactly how I feel about it.

Perspective

"When I grow up I'm going to teach kids."
"Would you teach older kids or younger kids?"
"Older. Maybe first grade."

#Caturday

"Kitty! It's Caturday! Act as crazy as you want!!"
Kitty Perry runs and flips off the wall and runs back to climb up the Christmas tree.
"Not that crazy, Kitty. You can't act THAT crazy on Caturday."

Money can't buy you...well, maybe it can.

"It's nice having friends."
"It certainly is."
"Some people don't have friends, that's sad."
"It is!"
"But that's weird because they're so easy to buy."

Close enough.

"Mom, where's the xbox controller?"
"I don't know."
"That's because you're a horrible person."
"Liam! That's not nice to say to people, you'll hurt their feelings and won't be your friend."
"You're my friend?"
"Yes."
"Ok, I'll try it again."
"Ok."
"Mom, where's the xbox controller?"
"I don't know."
"That's because you're a person."

NOT THE BIEBS

"Madelyn isn't going to marry me..."
"Oh no! What happened?"
"She says she's going to marry Justin Bieber. I don't even know who that is."






That's because we've taught you better, kiddo.
