My little boy, he says some strange things. Today, he’s driving me crazy with prefacing everything with, “hey hey,” but he’s been known to say some pretty funny things here recently. (I’m adding to this… whenever, so just because it says “the other day” does not mean it was, in fact, “the other day.”)

A couple of weeks ago, for instance, he came running into the living room yelling, “Kasey Kahne! Kasey Kahne!” It took me a while to figure out that he wasn’t talking NASCAR, he had a candy cane in his hand and wanted me to open it for him. Where he found a candy cane in May, I still have no idea. :P

A few months ago, I told him to pick up his toys and get ready for a nap. He was on the floor gathering his farm animals and shoving them into the barn when he suddenly turned to me and said he wanted to “ask Jesus.” I asked him, “what do you want to ask Jesus?” He looked right at me, smiled, and said, “pick up my toys.”

He and Steve often argue over who drives “the orange car,” Tony Stewart or Junior. Elijah insists it’s Junior. In fact, he thinks Junior drives every car except for 24, that’s Jeff, of course.

Yesterday, I pulled two $1 bills out of my little change cup. Elijah stopped dead in his tracks as he was walking through the room, smiled really big and said, “Ooooohhhh a million dollars!!!!” Yeah, bud, I wish! I have Scrubs to thank for this one though, not much earlier we’d seen an episode where they were playing the Barenaked Ladies song, If I Had a Million Dollars.

He still loves his guitar, American Idol microphone, and Elvis:

When he recently cut his own hair, I had no choice but to buzz him to 1/8 of an inch. Then, reminiscent of The Little Rascals, I was teasing him all day, rubbing his head and saying, “wish I had a watermelon, wish I had a watermelon.” Later that night, he walked up to me, rubbed his own head in the same fashion and said, “I’m getting some ice cream, I’m getting some ice cream.”

Ok that’s enough randomness for today… :)
