From the Mouths of Babes

Had my nephews over this weekend. The oldest is 10, the other 4. His first time sleeping over at Uncle Ian's. He was a little nervous about leaving home but once I told him we would be driving through Batman's tunnel (Lower Wacker Dr., where they filmed "Batman Returns"), he couldn't leave fast enough. I have five nephews and nieces total. They say and do some of the best things:

The 4-year-old when he spilled some grape juice on the rug. "That's not good." He then took off his shirt and dropped it over the spill, to cover it up.

The 3-year-old niece.
Me: "I'm sad because you didn't draw me a Valentine's Day picture."
Her: (putting hands on hips): "Do you have a fridge to hang it up on?"

The 10-year-old at age 3: "Uncle Ian, your place is so small, it's only this big." (makes a little hole w/his fingers) "If it was any smaller, it would be a mouse hole." (laughs) "Your place is too small for a mouse. You have a mouse home!"

What a couple of characters.
