5 Style

I'm sure your kid is funny.  Probably all the time.  If my kid weren't funny I don't think parenting would be worth it.  Sometimes I laugh at him, rarely I laugh with him (because he's that kind of funny...the kind that is clueless).

With fewer hours to spend with him these days (thank you school) I find his mannerisms and phrasing increasingly hilarious.  Because mostly I want to document these things for myself I thought I would share just a few of Axel's most recent revelations.

"We have to be really careful not to cut a part of his body off."  -  In reference to his brother's first hair cut.

"I think you mean Strawberry Blonde.  Thanks."  -  In reference to a kid calling his hair orange.

"Where is the picture of your kids at your desk?"  -  In reference to seeing my new work space.

"I don't want to go to chess club today.  It makes my arms tired to play."  -  Example of how lazy my kid can be.

Not only do I love what comes out of his mouth, but his recent obsession with coloring has been quite interesting as well.  A neighbor friend is collecting cards for shut-ins this Christmas and has asked kids to make a few cards to share with those less fortunate.

HerHe calls it, "Tree with Lights."

His technique may need a little revision.

The writing however is darling . . .
