Bigger

Hubby was recounting this story to my brother and and his wife yesterday. The reason it's a kiddie kwote and not a golden nugget is because I can't seem to find a golden nugget. If anyone can help me out with that, I would appreciate it. Anyway, I think enough time has passed that it can now be seen as hilarious.

Let me set it up for you:

We went to Disneyland last year for our annual summer trip with two families that we have made a tradition to travel with once a year. This confrontation took place at California Adventure on our way to the Princess Lunch. We just got done watching the High School Musical 2 parade and the dads bought the kids some candy from a nearby store.

Hubby: Here's your candy, Buggy Bug.
It was the tiny M&M's.
Buggy Bug: She takes one look at the tiny M&M's and tells Amel, "Make it bigger, Daddy."
Hubby: I can't make it bigger, Buggy Bug.
Buggy bug: Throws the candy on the ground: "MAKE IT BIGGER!"
Hubby: I told you, I can't make it bigger.
Buggy Bug: WAHHHHH! Obviously, it's the end of the world.

So Hubby takes her in his arms and tries to carry her to a nearby bench. She starts wailing and flailing her arms. The two other families are waaaaay ahead of us. Sonny, Zokey, and I are watching in horror a few feet away then a worker walks up to Hubby.

Worker: Is everything alright sir?
Hubby: I've never seen him so mad. "Yes"

To make a long story short, Hubby and Buggy Bug worked it out. She apologized to him and we were able to enjoy the Princess lunch with everybody. I guess since it was Disneyland, she thought anything was possible, like making candy bigger.

Kiddie Kwote: MAKE IT BIGGER!

(Actually I was thinking about this last night and I did find a golden nugget.)

GOLDEN NUGGET: Having a funny story to tell AND knowing that you can forgive and still love someone after they totally embarrass you in public.

Library

We were on our way home from the Benicia Public Library. Buggy Bug had checked out two books.

Sonny: Mommy, Buggy Bug is taking the sticker off the book. (the barcode)
Me: Buggy Bug, you better stop doing that.
Buggy Bug: Is the police going to stop me? She asks in a surprisingly timid voice.
Me: Yes.
Buggy Bug: Are they going to put me in jail?
Me: Yes, so you better stop.
Buggy Bug: After a few minutes of silence. I know she was thinking hard about what she was going to say next. "It's okay if the police gets me, I will just kick him. I'm strong."

I talked to her about not messing other people's stuff up and how she can't kick policemen. I know I'm terrible for lying to her, but it bugs me when people mess library books up. To put your minds at ease, I have since repented. : )

Sutter

This is from a paper that Sonny wrote in class.

Hi, my name is Sonny. I am seven years old. My favorite color is green. My favorite animal is the grey wolf. My favorite food is pizza. I have two sisters. When I grow up, I want to work at Sutter.

Classic case of son wanting to be just like dad.

Sister

I'm recalling more funny quotes from the past. I hope they're as funny to you as they are to me. Here's one that I have on my Facebook:

Setting: My mom's house. My sister, Mare and Buggy Bug were sitting on the sofa and I was at the dining table.

Buggy Bug: Auntie Mare, my Mommy has one brother.
Mare: Who is it?
Buggy Bug: Uncle JunJun
Mare: Did you know your Mom has one sister?
Buggy Bug: Yes
Mare: Who is it?
Buggy Bug: Auntie A
Mare: No, that's your daddy's sister.
Buggy Bug: Auntie DeeDee?
Mare: No...she's right in front of your face.
Buggy Bug: looking really confused now, but she turns and looks at me and says: Am I your sister, Mommy?Hahaha

Buggy Bug: Zokey, why are you such a troubleBAKER?



My niece, Aly, was over the house one day and we were just sitting around the table after lunch just talking:

Sonny: If you guys can have as much money as you want, how much would you get? I would get one hundred million dollars!
Aly: All the money in the world.
Buggy Bug: Thinks about it and with full conviction says: Two dollars.

Sonny: If you had a store, what would you name it? Mine would be Sonny's Picks
Aly: Aly's
Buggy Bug: Target!
Haha. That's my girl!

Reading all these quotes makes me think of a golden nugget, so here it goes:

GOLDEN NUGGET: The kids may have their daddy's good looks and even his mathematical genius, but you know what? They have my sense of humor!
