"Mat"isms

Mathison has been saying the funniest things lately; I wanted to record them so I won't forget.  You might also get a good laugh out of them ;)


As we were headed to swimming lessons recently, Mathison said, "Mom, swimming is more important."  "More important than what?" I asked.  "More important than drowning!"  he replied.

Mathison discovered a couple of joined PVC pipes at my parents' house.  He brought them inside and announced, "Look what I found outside - some technology!"

Mathison struggles with reverence, so we have been working hard on this behavior.  A few Sundays ago, he sat extremely still during the opening prayer in sacrament meeting.  The second after we said "amen", Mathison looked at me proudly before exclaiming, "Mom, look at how reverent I am!" in his loudest voice.  Apparently, we still have some work to do!

Recently, Mathison informed me that he'd done something "all by myself with Krissia's help".

DEl has been traveling quite a bit this summer, and during one of his trips Mathison told me he wanted to be my boyfriend.  I replied, "I already have a boyfriend - you know who it is, don't you?"  Mathison thought about it a second, then dejectedly replied, "It's Dad."  He suddenly perked up and exclaimed, "But he isn't here now, is he!"  before running over and stealing a kiss on my lips.  I told DEl that maybe he should start staying home more often, as someone is trying to steal his girl  :)

So cute :) I should definitely be better at writing down the cute things my kids say. He is right you know, swimming IS more important than drowning :)
