Why we keep him around

I think I’ve been doing more than my fair share of whining lately (and lamenting, critiquing, complaining, sarcasticising, moping, etc.) so it’s time for another cheerful round of Gabie-isms – brought to you by our very own 5 year old walking blog-prompt.

We’ll start with yesterday’s artwork Penguins in the Snow.

Please note the bellies full of fish.

I had a hard time saving this picture because Gabie wanted to cut the penguins out of the paper and feed them all more tuna. I’m not sure exactly how one feeds real tuna to paper penguins, but it sounds messy.

Gabie-ism from yesterday:
“Mom, what are coles?”
“Huh?”
”You know, COLES”
“You mean coals? Like the mineral that’s black?”
“No, coles, like the ones that are sometimes made out of ice. Icy-coles.”

Said this morning while emptying out the contents of his “wallet” which holds expired bus-passes and fake credit cards.
“Hey, this one says 2003. I got that one so long ago that I don’t remember it. It has totally fallen out of my rememberness.”

Said while walking into Walgreens drugstore.
“Man, when are they ever going to get around to painting this place? The walls are still white – not green!”
