Dad, maybe I'm magic, because when I do stinky toots, why do I not smell them?
Tag: Daddy, where are you going?
Me: I have to work.
Tag: Sometimes Daddy's have to work?
Me: Yes
Tag: But sometimes little boys want Daddy's to play!
10:08 pm
Me: "Tag why aren't you asleep?"
Tag: "Because I always just want to be awake..."
Me: "But if you go to sleep you'll be strong tomorrow."
Tag: "Like the Hulk?"
--Both bust out in laughter
Tagism: Dad, I am NOT cute. I am only handsome now because I am 4 years old.
Tag: Mom, can I sleep with you?
Joann: Why do you always want to sleep with me?
Tag: Because sometimes boys always want to sleep with their Moms because they love her.
Tag: Dad, do you know why I love you?
Me: No, why?
Tag: Because you're the best!
Tag often sneaks in to my office while I work. Yesterday I told him I had to focus and couldn't play. He asked what "focus" was. After a pause I said that focus was thinking about ONE thing. He thought for a second and said:
"But Dad, I want to focus on thinking about 5 things!"
Tagism:
Dad, today do you want to go to the Summit Pool and swim with me OR stay home with me and have a pillow fight? -- tough call!
Tagism:
Dad, you didn't hear the toot from my bum because it was so quiet.
Tagism: "Dad, do you know how much I love you?"
Me: No, how much?
[flexes arms like a mini prize fighter]
"I love u from my muscles up to my shoulder!"
Tagism: After Tag had a meltdown because we wouldn't give him more chocolate milk, I was asking him why got so mad and he replied, "Well, sometimes Dads get fwustwated, and sometimes boys get fwustwated."
Tagism: After popping his little brother's balloon and then lying about it, he said, "But Dad, pretty soon I will stop lying and start telling lots of truths."
Tagism: Watching the US Open today he said: "Dad, do sometimes golf courses have a name like this, -- I am a golf course--"?
Tagism: Joann: Tag, you are cute.
Tag: I don't wanna be cute! Just let me be myself for once!
Tagism: This morning, Tag was eating one of Joann's cinnamon rolls. I told him those were good but that his body also would like some fruit. He replied, "Dad, our bodies like bananas, strawberries, blueberries, AND cimmamon rolls!"
Tagism: Driving with Tag tonight he said, "Dad, I know what Track's name is."
"Really? What is it?" -- I asked.
Tag: "Track."
Tagism: Dad can you come help me because my tummy hurts and I need to lay a deuce.
Tagism: Dad, I don't think I can go to the beach.
Me: Really? How come?
Tag: Because I just yawned.
Tagism: I don't want you guys to be so frustrated at me, because I'm just a cutest little boy.
Tagism: [Looking down proudly at his legs] Dad, my legs are getting HUGE! Look how far away my toes are!
Tagism (Family nighttime prayer): Heavenly father, thankful for this day and I really wanted to wear my Batman cape to bed but Mom wouldn't let me. I really miss Grandpa and can't wait to show him how I can catch. Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Tagism: Dad, I am NOT cute I am only handsome now because I am 4 years old.
Tagism: Dad, maybe I'm magic, because when I do stinky toots, why do I not smell them?
Tagism: Dad, is the witch in "The Lizard of Hoz" a bad lady? (Wizard of Oz)
Packism:
Me: I love you.
Pack: I luv you too. Highew than outew space and more than Iwon (iron) Giant.
Packism: My 2 year old saw his first men's figure skating tonight. As the Russian was spinning, he yelled, "Whoah! He dizzy!"
Tagism: Dad, your belly is getting fatter but not mine.
3/5/14
Tagism:Dad, why do you work so much?
-- "So that I can have the money to buy your soccer shoes, your Spiderman shirt, and the pretzels you just ate."
[Considers this for a few seconds]... Okay, can you work a little more and buy me some Skittles? Because I really love Skittles.
Tagism: After learning I am getting knee surgery in the morning, he said, "Awwww, when you get home we can race and I'll let you win."
Tagism: Dad, I wish we had the same birthday, so that when I was 3 you were 3, and when I was 4, you were 4.
ME: Why?
Tag: So that you wouldn't work and we could be best friends and play all the time.
Tagism (pre-breakfast): Mom, even though I'm not hungry, my teeth need a workout, so I should eat something.
Packism:
Me: Dooz, how was your swim lesson, buddy?
Dooz: "Dad, I swim and I didn't cwy!"
Tagism:
"Dad, when am I going to be 5?"
Me: Oh, you have all the way until December which is after Halloween.
Tag: "Good, because I like being 4 because I learned to wipe my own bum."
Tagism:
Dad, when we were at the rodeo, I think the bulls were mad because they were at the end.
