Snot

Sawyer just blew his nose.

"Ah, man! It's green."

Me: "A lot green or a little?" This is vital intel.

Sawyer: "Um, a lot or little green or a lot or a little bit of snot?" Excellent question.

Me: "A lot green."

Sawyer: "Uh, I don't know how to answer that. Not to gross you out but you tell me. [shows me his snot-filled tissue}

Me: [slight but restrained gag reflex] "Ok, well, you're fighting a little something." It was a light, mossy green. You're welcome.

Then...

Sawyer: [comes back to me from retrieving a tissue in his room] "I love my little brother so much. Did you hear what he said?"

Me: "No. What?"

Sawyer: "The door was locked but I could see he was on his knees... by his bed. I asked him, 'what are you doing?' and he said 'I'm praying to God by myself that your nose would be forever better.' "

Seriously, I have THE cutest boys ever!

A "Metal" Joke

Sawyer created yet another joke. I think this one is pretty good...

Question: What do you call a piece of metal that got run over by a 10 ton truck?

Answer: FLATINUM!

Oh, You Know... Things

I can hear Sawyer explaining Spanish to Dempsey.
"In English we say 'the red house' but in Spanish the noun comes first- 'the house red'".

I love how he teaches others what he learns.


Yesterday Dempsey accidentally destroyed something he created himself. It brought BIG tears. Sawyer consoled him a tad and then tried to recreate Dempsey's creation.

He has such a big heart!
