Nolan Says...

Setting:  Playing in his sandbox.

Nolan:  Mom, I need to add water to the sand to make it a 'lil rough-n-tough for the trucks to dig in.

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

Setting:  In the kitchen.  I reach for his antibiotic from the fridge and the lid wasn't on tight.  I had just mopped the floor and some flew across it in a long line.

Me:  Shoot!  (or was it "dang it!?)

Nolan:  It's ok Mama, there's lots more.

Me:  No, it's not ok.  Mommy hates when she makes messes!  (I was sooo bugged at myself.)

Nolan:  Wellllllll.......sometimes people have to forgive themselves too.

Me:  What?! (stopped dead in my tracks) ...Where did you hear that?

Nolan:  God told me.

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

Setting:  The kids and I are walking down the street to a friend's house.  We pass a house that has their car parked in the drive way.

Nolan:  That is a two-by-smoker. 

Me:  Really?

Nolan:  Yup, it has two smokers.  (It was a car with two tailpipes.)

Me:  (laughing)  Nolan, you are so cute.

Nolan:  Yeah, I know.  I know everything about cars.
