Kids are SO literal!!

So we're driving home from the Rock'n River water park near our house and Matthew suddenly has to pee. The following ensues...................

Matthew - "Mommy - I have to pee"

Jessica - "We're almost home - can you hold it?"

Troy - "Hold it buddy - squeeze your legs!"

We look back and Matthew has one hand on each of his legs - and he's "squeezing his legs" with his hands - just like we told him! At that point, I start cracking up!! Troy maintained his composure as usual!

Troy - "No Matthew, squeeze them together!"

So we look back and Matthew has moved both of his hands to one leg - hands "together" - and is squeezing!

Kids take things SO literal!

When we would get hurt, my dad would say, "Spit on it and rub it", meaning, buck up. Then we caught Kevin actually spitting on his skinned knee and rubbing it! Not very sanitary for a open wound!

That's really cute and funny! We had a similar situation the other day - Jackson pleading, "Gotta go peeps! It's coming!" Justin replies, "Hold it, dude! Just pinch "it"! (He used more descriptive terminology), so Jackson did. He held it for about 15 mins. before we were able to get off of the freeway and drive behind a grocery store. :) It made quite a puddle - we were both pretty impressed! LOL!! Gosh I can't wait to get all of these boys together again sometime!
