Person 1: I recently learned that my uncle has a glass eye.

Person 2: Did he tell you?

Person 1: No, it just came out during a conversation.

Andrew is hilarious! As he learns new words or phrases, or copies what we have said, and then says them in his little voice, it ends up sounding very funny. A couple of examples…

For Andrew’s birthday, Andrea came over and slept in a tent with him overnight. She was cleaning up the tent in the morning, and she tripped over some of the equipment. Andrew was sitting on his little chair under the tree, and said, “Why you trippin’ Andi?” Word!

For the next example, first a bit of background. There seems to be a lot of cats in the neighbourhood, and since we have all that land, they come over and kill birds on our property. I usually pick the dead birds up with a shovel and throw them in the ditch along the side property. I figure an animal will get to it soon enough. So, this past Saturday we had our annual Ward Picnic at Burgoyne Woods. There are train tracks that run by the park, and Lisa was walking near them with the boys. She told them they couldn’t go up to the tracks, because if a train came by, they may get hit and hurt, or even die. Andrew then said, “And then Daddy would have to throw me in the ditch.”
