--We were in a nature park in Long Beach, just the boys and I since Jeremy was working. I had told Bridger we were going to a regular park and he kept telling me he wanted to go to the park.
Me: We are in a park, this is called a nature park, it's fun, huh?
Bridger: I want to go to a park that is put together.
Me: *laughing* You what?
Bridger: I want to go to a park that is put together.
I love the way he describes the things he wants, lol.
Another funny story from that same trip...
--At church Bridger's teacher didn't hear me very well when I said his name, so she thought I said "Richard." When we picked Bridger up from primary his little coloring page had "Richard" written on it. We asked him if he told her his name and he acted so mad...
Me: Did you tell your teacher your name?
Bridger: uuuuuuuugggggghhhh, she didn't know my name.
Me: Did you tell her your name is Bridger?
Bridger: Yeah, she didn't know it.
He saw on the paper that she had written "Richard" and since it didn't start with "B" and then an "R" he was mad. I couldn't stop laughing.
--Another story from that trip...we were eating breakfast in a hotel and we were the first ones there, we sat down to eat and this old man and his family walk in, Bridger sees him dishing up and says, "look at that huge belly!!" I was like, "wwwwwhhhhhhhaaaaaattttttt?" without thinking about it...so then he repeated himself. EMBARRASSING, lol! I just couldn't believe he had said it and it was so loud! We had a nice long talk about how everyone is different and Heavenly Father loves each person, and how we shouldn't point things out about others looks.
--Our primary class does a spotlight on a kid every week, so they sent home a paper for Bridger and it has some questions. I sat down with him tonight and one of the was, "who is your favorite scripture hero?" He said, "Superman." Ha ha! I was like, "no, someone in the scriptures, sweetie," then he was like, "Jesus." And his favorite foods are pizza, chicken nuggets...and cake. I promise I feed my kids healthier than that!
--A conversation I had with Bridger while he was swinging on his swings...
Bridger: Girls are special, Jesus loves them (a sweet little grin on his face)
Me: Yep. So are boys, he loves them too.
Bridger: No. Boys are not special, boys are cool!
Me: Oh, really? (Trying not to laugh...)
Bridger: And all girls are beautiful.
Me: That's right. (Proud mom grin)
--While Bridger was getting ready for bed we read about when Jesus was resurrected, there was a picture of him standing outside the tomb and Bridger said, "I don't want to be buried in a tomb." He was afraid, lol. Then while we said prayers that night he said, "please help me to sleep good, please help me to get resurrected, and please help me to be safe." Ha ha.
--Bridger was being such a sweetheart this particular day, being nice to Beckham and taking care of him, giving him more food at lunch etc.
Me: You are being such a good boy today!
Bridger: Smiles all mature like. I am following the Gospel.
--I was driving to Costco and stopped at a red light, when it turned green I pressed the gas down, Bridger always things we are going so fast when we speed up...
Bridger: Is this a race car?
Me: No, this is an SUV.
Bridger: We need to sell it and buy a race car so we can drive like daddy.
Me: Ha ha!
Bridger: Daddy said I can have his race car when I get older.
Me: Oh, ok. When you turn 16 I guess you can have it.
Bridger: No, when I get older and turn 6.
...He was pretty bummed when I told him he had to wait 11 more years. Lol.
--Bridger: I want to see your doggy, Peaches
Me: When we are resurrected we can see her again.
Bridger: Daddy's grandma died too.
Me: She did, we will see her again too.
Bridger: Do people get flushed in the toilet too? (he remembered his fish got flushed)
Me: *laughing as I try to answer...* No, people need to have a little more special of a burial.
--I was working out one morning and Bridger had slept in, when he came downstairs head asked, "did you exercise ALL NIGHT??" Lol. Then he sat on the couch and told me to keep exercising over and over like my little four year old personal trainer.
--Bridger made me a noodle necklace in primary one week and he was so proud. When I picked him up after church he said, "mommy, I made this for you." I was like, "OOOOHHHHH, it's beautiful!! Can I wear it??" he said, "yes..." so I took it off him and put it around my neck, then he said, "you can wear it forever." He is so sweet. :)
--Me: Do you need to go pee?
Bridger: No.
Me: Are you sure??
Bridger: There's no pee in my pee bowl!!
--Bridger saw a tape measure in our room, so he picked it up and crawled in bed with me in the morning and asked if he could measure me. I told him he could measure my arm. He pulled the tape measure out and said, "you are 16 units tall!" LOL, UNITS??? I laughed and laughed.
--Bridger wasn't feeling well for a few days, one of those days we were cuddling on the couch watching a show and he looked up at me and said, "I got tears in my eyes cause I love you so much." I almost cried. He is so sweet.
--When we moved into our new house Bridger saw his swing set in a big pile on the back porch and said, "Grandpa is putting my swing set up upside down!"
--In primary Bridger made some paper binoculars that he called "binoculears."
--Bridger told us his first real joke, I thought it wasn't going to even make sense, but it did!! ha ha
Bridger: I'm going to tell you a joke.
Me: Okay.
Bridger: Why did the dog wag his tail?
Me: Why?
Bridger: Cause nobody else can do it for him!
I laughed SO hard. He was so matter of fact about it and I have no idea where he learned that, LOL!!
--Bridger came up to me and said, "you are so beautiful and sunny and awesome and pretty and I love you." He is just the cutest.
--We were eating lunch and Bridger said, "that's the coffee table." I was like, "yep, it is," and he said, "you cough at it *cough*cough*" LOLOL.
--I showed Bridger a picture of a mini pig for sale online and asked if we should get it (totally joking!!) Bridger said, "yes, I want ten dogs and ten pigs and ten babies."
--The boys were crouching over a dead cockroach down in Hurricane. Bridger: "See that, Beckham? That's a cockroach, they kill people. Don't touch it, it's already dead." That brotherly advice is legit.
--Bridger said he had a girlfriend at church. I was like, "who is it?" He said, "the girl who reads books with us and wears pretty dresses." Then he started naming off everyone that he loves and he said he loved his girlfriend and I was like, "why is she your girlfriend?" He said, "cause she wears beautiful dresses." LOLOL.
--I made casserole one night, it was really hot so it was steaming and Bridger asked me to blow on it.
Bridger: I don't have enough breath to blow on it.
Me: You'll be fine.
Bridger: I have to save some breath for tomorrow.
I'm still laughing about this one.
--One day at breakfast...
Bridger: "n" and "o" make the word no.
Me: Yes! That's great! How did you know that??
Bridger: I know everything.
Me: Oh, ok. Got it.
--Bridger and Beckham were swinging on my parent's swing set, Beckham always gets on the teeter totter swing because it's the only one he can really do by himself and he can go super high. Bridger was on a regular swing, they were both cruising.
Bridger: Beckham is going fast like a cheetah!
A few seconds later...Bridger is swinging slower and slower...
Bridger: And I'm going like a ... ... ... cow.
I couldn't stop laughing!! A cow?? Ha ha ha!
Then you see Beckham flying on his teeter totter swing shouting, "a cheeto! a cheeto!" LOLOLOL. He thought Bridger called him a cheeto, not a cheetah, lol. These boys.
Well, I think that's it for now!! Hopefully I can stay on top of these funny sayings better!
