So Many Gabeisms Today!

I wish I could remember all of the funny things that Gabe said this morning.  He was full of funny things to say.  Here goes an attempt to record them:


We were listening to a Veggie Tales CD in the car when Gabe asked:

"Mom, who's God?  Is he a vegetable?"

************************************************************************************

We were listening to the song, "Little Boy Blue," in the car and when it was over Gabe said:

"That song gets me.  That song gets me every time.  It's so beautiful.  Do you know what else is beautiful, Mom?  You.  You're exquisite."

I kid you not.  These quotes are WORD FOR WORD.  Where did this child of mine come from?  Is that not the most amazing thing that you've ever heard?

Gabe was being fresh at one point today, and when I called him on his behavior this is what he said:

"Mom, I'm not being fresh.  I'm just pretending to be fresh."  (He said that with the emphasis on pretending.  That's one smart boy!)

**********************************************************************************

"Mom, when you were little, did you come out of your dad's belly?  There are so many babies inside my belly."

*********************************************************************************

Man, I wish I could remember the others.  Maybe they'll come back to me later today....

Just this afternoon:

As we were going outside to play Gabe asked, "Mom, how did Zach and I get into your belly?"  In response, I said, "it's kind of a mystery how it happens."  And that ended the conversation for now.  Phew!

**********************************************************************************

After the boys and I played outside, we came in and washed our hands.  As I was washing Zach's hands at the sink, Gabe was outside of the bathroom door and he said, "it's so good to see you guys playing together."  What???????  I'm telling you, he's an old soul.

**********************************************************************************

When we were driving earlier today and I was getting onto Route 1, I sped up in order to enter the highway.  From behind I hear Zach say, "go, Mom, go.  Go faster."  And then Gabe says, "no, Mom.  Don't go too fast.  I don't want to crash into another car.  This [the speed that I was currently going] is perfect."

**********************************************************************************

A Gabeism from last week:  I'm not a big texter.  And I usually don't text and drive (since it's illegal now, anyway).  Well, last week while I was driving, I quickly texted a friend to let her know that we were on our way to Mall Tots.  I did it fast, but not fast enough for Gabe.  As I'm driving and texting quickly, Gabe says from the back of the car, "Mom, how can you drive when you're not looking at the road?  Mom, you need to look at the road.  How can you see where you're going?"

Seriously, like, the one time that I text and drive, I freak my 4 year old out.... never again.  Sorry, buddy.  You are way too young to know about this kind of stuff.
