Funnies for the Day

DAVE ON ANESTHESIA:
Today Dave had a same-day surgery and was under anesthesia for a couple hours. I arrived just as he was waking and thought I better record some of the funny things he said!

When I asked if he was thirsty he said they offered him a root beer slushy but he didn't want it. I said maybe I would go get a drink of water and he told me that I "really oughta ask for a root beer slushy!"

Then I asked if he wanted to call his cousin Parker (he had talked about calling him while loopy for a good laugh). He simply said, "No." Then a minute later he said, "I don't think I've ever told Parker that he's a good looking guy!" I said, "No, you probably haven't!" haha

I finally pulled up a chair because I realized these conversations were worthless. Dave looked over at me and with his pointer finger up said, "I'm number one." Then he began slowly counting his fingers, "One, two, three, four...four fingers! and....one thumb." Very good Dave.

Finally, the nurse stopped by. I asked if it was normal for him to look so beat up from anesthesia. She said that anesthesia does crazy things to people. Dave spoke up, "Dr. Neeleman kicked me in the face!....Twice." We laughed and he didn't which made it even funnier.

BELLE IN THE CAR ON THE WAY TO THE STORE:

I decided it was time to write down a ten minute typical dialogue of our cutest 3-yr old, Belle.

As we were leaving for the store she said, "just you and me!" I replied, "yes just me and you." She repeated, "Just you and me, not everybody going...Just me and you, just two friends!" As she flashed me a cute red-lipped sucker smile.

My favorites lately are her circular sentences. You'll see what I mean..."If people are not nice to crabs at the beach then he pinches. If everybody pinches him then he pinches everybody. Crabs do that." The best part is this topic came from a page in a book that I read her at the Dr. office yesterday!

She loves to roll down her window. After rolling it down and reminding me that it's windy when we go fast she said, "When I see a bug I'll roll it up." Then "I saw a bug go around Callie's door!"

As we passed the car wash: "I wanna go to the car wash cause our car is dirtier than I ever seen!"

As we arrived at the store she recalled her trip to Seven Peaks today: "We went on the big slide with Karson and it was sooo fun! We wanted to go again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again AND AGAIN!!!"

I hate to leave CALLIE out. Her sayings are the same every day, but my RECENT FAVORITES are:

Stp! rrrrrhhhh - this is Callie mimicking Belle when she tells Callie to STOP! ahhhhh!

Nana - this is her grandma's name but right now her favorite food...

Hi dada - her favorite time each day is when Dave comes home and she does her crawl scoot in warp speed toward the garage door.

More! She uses this word whenever she wants anything, not just for more food. Perhaps we should have taught her the word please instead...
