Nerdy Apple Bottom

Upon hearing of Harold Dow’s death, Peanut turns to me and says, “Cause of death?”

Bubba/Boo calls corn on the cob “corn-obba-cob.”

Squirt/Slim while watching a hair dye commercial referring to ‘natural beauty’ : “NATURAL BOOTY?!?”

Boo on Easter after sticking a plastic egg in his pants and opening it: “I just cracked my pants!” (it sounded VERY similar to “I crapped my pants!”

Boo, also on Easter, while looking in his basket: “Alls that’s left is crappy eggs.”

Squirt, at almost every meal: “I got nothing for to eat!”

Squirt, while going through a list of movie options: “I want black booty!” (To set the record straight, the movie was actually Black Beauty)

Boo, upon the occasion of my 35th birthday: “You don’t look 35. You look like 60 pounds.”

Peanut after mispronouncing something: “I’m making up words like Sarah Palin.”

* The above picture was taken from my kitchen window. One afternoon when I was at my wit’s end with the shorties, something caught my eye. Looked out the window and there was this smiley face helium balloon that had become stuck in a bush out front. It blew away right after taking this picture. I think it was a sign.
