Judsonisms

Life with a 5 year old boy is always interesting. Add to that, this 5 year old boy is a very literal boy. He does not understand the nuances of language. If you say "it's raining cats and dogs out there", he's going to look out the window to see how many cats and dogs are falling from the sky. So here are few of the funny things our little 5 year old says:

1) Mommy: (after many many MANY requests for Judson and Ansley to stop the "yes I am, no you're not" conversation) "Judson and Ansley please stop, you are acting like all you have is Stricklin blood in you because all you do is argue"
Judson: "Ansley has more Stricklin in her than I do" (he might be right)

2) Judson: (a dirtier boy, you've never seen) "Do I have hair growing on my back"
Mommy: What?
Judson: I've been playing with the doodles (our dogs) for a WHOLE hour. I want to become a dog. Do I have hair growing on my back like a doodle?


3. Judson: I have Up Syndrome
Mommy: What's Up Syndrome
Judson: That's when you are 5 but you look like you are 6.

4. Mommy: Where was Judson born?
Judson: Georgia
Mommy: Where was Sawyer Born?
Judson: Georgia
Mommy: Where were Mommy and Daddy born?
Judson: Tennessee and Florida
Mommy: Where was Ansley born?
Judson: Taiwan
Ansley: No, Ansley born in 'ennessee
Judson: No, you were born in Taiwan
Ansley: No, 'ennessee
Mommy: It's okay, Judson. She can say she was born in Tennessee
Judson: But Mom, she was born in Taiwan. Ansley, you were born in Taiwan.
And thus, another debate began between the two.


5. Mommy: Judson, what is 100-5?
Judson: Mom, I've been knowing that since I was 2. (eyes rolling and exasperated sigh) It's 95!

Thus goes the life of the mom of this 5 year old.
