Foster Funnies

Gunnar saw a Galaga arcade game where we went for dinner Wednesday night and challenged Dave to a game. "You think you can take me down?" Dave, the Galaga veteran taunted, "I'll show you some old school!" Gunnar came right back at him and said, "Well, I'll show YOU some homeschool!"

*****

We were watching the climactic end of the latest National Treasure movie when Gunnar leaned over the theater seat and asked, "Can we buy this movie on DVD, mom?" I thought that was a strange question at that moment, but was pleased he like the movie so much so said, "Sure." He said, "Good," with relief in his voice and ran past me saying, "then I'm going to the bathroom."

Grandma sent the boys LOTS of tattoos and they had a great time plastering their bodies with them. I notice that Maxwell only put them under his clothes and asked him why. "I don't want people to have an opinion of me," was his reason.

Max, to Dave, on his first day of nursing school, "Have fun being a freshman again, dad."

*****

Trey to Dave the next day (and every day since), "Have a good day at nursery school, dad."

*****

Captain Jim, of the 115’ Florida Fish Finder, was on the dock discussing the many challenges of boat ownership. After listening for a minute, Trey offered his sage boat repair advice, “Why don’t you just whack it?”

*****

When a spirited wrestling match broke out at the breakfast table between Gunnar and Trey, Max dryly asked Dave, “Did you want to get involved in this?”

*****

Dave was bragging to me of Gunnar’s amazing stewardship of his allowance and Christmas funds when Gunnar casually admitted that his electronic piggy bank was broken and he couldn’t get his money out! Thanks for the piggy bank, Uncle Greg.

I had just taken a bite of food when Trey asked for more pork chops.
“You have three pieces left right there,” Dave said, pointing at Trey’s plate.
“They are too hard,” Trey complained.
“No they are not, they’re just fine,” Dave said scooping them up and, despite my frantic motions, popping them in his mouth. “What?” he asked when he noticed my horrified face.
“I think he had already tried those pieces,” I started to laugh.
“Oh, I thought they tasted faintly of go-gurt,” was his reply.
UGH!
