Danny: Does Daddy know everything?
Mommy: No honey, even Daddy has lots to learn.
Danny: Yeah, that’s what I figured. But Mommy, he sure does know a lot.
Danny Sez…
Danny & Daddy were having a bedtime story on the 10 commandments when Danny offered,
“Oh, I know one of the 10 commandments – you shouldn’t ever lie especially about going pee.”
Mom, will my oatmeal make me strong and grow and give me energy?
Yes, Danny.
And Mom, will my nap make me strong & grow and give me energy?
Yes, Danny.
Then Mom, can I eat 2 bowls of oatmeal and skip my nap today?
No, Danny.
So I finally got one of those babydoll shirts, the kind that everyone’s wearing. It’s green & blue and I thot it looked beachy & fun. Danny took one look at me and said, “Oh Mom, are you starting to have a baby?” – why else would I be wearing a pregnancy shirt?
“Oh Mom, that would be so great, I want a boy and a girl!”
Danny’s mind goes a mile a minute and sometimes, actually most of the time I don’t keep up. “Mom, let’s do an art project, oh I know, I know we can paint a huge mural. And Mom, let’s make cookies, no, I heard it’s Rina’s birthday soon, let’s bake her a cake and mail it to her. And Mom, Carly’s crying for her sippy cup because she threw it in the toilet, and Mom, can we run down to the corner store and buy Japanese peanuts, Mom can you show me what this word says in my Dr. Seuss book and Mom, is it true that elephants can’t pick their noses cause that’s what Kyle told me.”
So many times I end up telling him, “Danny, one thing, Mom can do one thing at a time.”
Yesterday he told me, “Mom, my ball rolled under the bed and I can’t reach it, this is really important, this is your one thing!”
“Hey, when can I get my own turtle? Kyle has his own turtle and I really want one too.”
“Well, Danny, maybe next year when you are 4 you will be old enough to take care of your own pet, it’s a lot of work and you have to show Mommy that you are responsible….”
“Mom, what are you gonna get me when I’m 101? Cuz that’s very very big so you’re gonna have to think of a very very big present for that birthday.”
Grab your surf board…you’re going up!
Categories: Danny Sez... | May 8th, 2007 | by eva | no commentsOn one of the “Rescue Heros” episodes there is a surf competition and one of the surfers taunts another competitor, “Grab your surf board, you’re going down.” We explained that the guy had a bad attitude and that Danny shouldn’t talk to people like that. So the next day he asked me, “But mom, is it okay if I say, grab your surfboard you’re going up?”
Yesterday Danny asked me what a wish was. “It’s when you hope for something that you’d really like to happen. Like, I wish I could go to Sea World or I wish I could have some strawberry icecream.” Danny got real quiet for a bit and then he smiled and said, “Mom, I wish I could be a grown up and drink wine.”
Then today while reading his new favorite book, The CAT in the HAT Beginners Dictionary, he saw a picture of a man using a pick axe. “Oh Mom, I’d really like a pick axe for my birthday.” “Well, it’s a bit dangerous, Danny, I don’t think they make ones for little kids, maybe when you are a little older.” He thot about that for a minute and then said,
“Mom, when I grow up I’m going to drink wine and use a pick axe at the same time.”
“Well, that’s also a little dangerous, Danny…
Yesterday as Danny was eating a plum he asked us, “Why did Adam & Eve eat the apple?”
“Because they didn’t have a plum.”
Don’t know if he made that up or not but we thot it was pretty funny.
