Funnies

Kekoa – I was getting ready for the day and was putting lotion on after a shower.  Kekoa came and sat by me.  He said, “Mom, you smell like a rainbow.”

Kekoa – while eating at the island in our kitchen.  “Ikaika, do you remember what this means?” While sitting on the bar stools, he was tapping the island with his feet. “It means your prayer is too long and I am getting hungry.”

Kekoa - We had a conversation about money and what Kekoa would do if he had a lot of money.

He said, “I’d give money to Ikaika, Dad, and Sepa.”  I thought that was pretty good, but then he said, “So they could buy presents for me.”

So I asked him what else he’d buy.

Kekoa: “ would buy a shotgun so I could go hunting.

Me: If you have money, why would you go hunting?

Kekoa: See that’s the problem.  I’d spend half my money on food, so then I would have to hunt for some more.

Me: No, what if you had a ton of money?

Kekoa: Hmm . . . that is really hard to guess.

Happily our conversation ended with him saying he’d give money to those who didn’t have things they needed, food, clothes, etc.

One day, Kekoa was terrorizing his brothers while they were trying to watch a show.  I was scolding him to leave them alone.  He said, “It is like they’re squeaky toys and I found them.  And they go, Ahhhhhh!” (Knowing my boys and their high-pitched screams helps one appreciate that story a bit more . . .)

Koa:  When I am 2,000 years old, I am going to be old like Dad.  I laughed, “2,000!?”  Kekoa, “Well, I don’t know. . . 2 billion?”

Kekoa: Mom, can I get a rabbit when I am old?  I mean, not old like a Papa, but like 38 or 40?

My response? YES!

Sepa – 9/29 – 2 1/2 years

While changing his clothes, I said, “Wow! This shirt is dir-ty!”

Sepa, “and awesome.”

Ikaika –

After taking off his suit from church – Look, my hook (aka: hanger) is dressed up!

Ikaika didn’t really want to go to primary one day, but we had him go anyway.  After church I asked him how primary was.  He said, “When I was sad, I just sang songs about Jesus, then I felt better.”

Sepa: polka nots or pinka nots (polka dots)

Kekoa-isms:

During Halloween: “Dad, mom fixed my hair today so it would stand up – she used some of your jello.” (jello = gel)

During dinner: “ Ooo, this fish is good.  Especially when you put on fish frosting.”  (Fish frosting = tartar sauce)

Boys –

I had them run upstairs to take a bath. They started racing for who could get in the tub first.  Kekoa said, “First one to get their clothes off is a rotten egg!”  Ikaika managed to beat him and yelled, “I am a rotten egg!”  Kekoa sighed disappointed.  When he finished he shouted, “Hooray, I am a rotten egg too!”

Some I found on a random paper in my junk drawer (yes, I have one of those):

Kekoa: Ikaika, you have to buckle up or the police is going to take you away and give you to Janette. (Janette is our old neighbor)

The boys were having a little tiff when I wasn’t watching.  When I talked to Kekoa about it, he said, “I didn’t hit any of them, I’m pretty sure.”

Before Kekoa learned to ride a bike: “Mom, I don’t want to take off my training wheels until I am 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, EIGHTEEN!”

Kekoa’s version:

Meeney, miney

catch a toe,

by the tiger

and you know,

you are it!
