bram's favourite jokes

why did the monkey marry the lion? because he swept her off her feet!

and....

why did Thomas (the tank engine) marry Rosie (the tank engine)?

to which, i'm sure, you would reply, "because her swept her off her feet?"

quoth bram, "no. because he swept her off her wheels. because trains have wheels, not feet. it's a thomas and friends joke that i made up! don't you see?"


(for these jokes to make sense, you have to know the original on which they're based:
why did the teacher marry the janitor? because he swept her off her feet!)

and some sweetness

a few days ago, blithe was upset about something. apparently, she had broken something of bram's. she was crying about it, saying over and over again how sorry she was, and that it was all her fault.

now, i know bram, so i fully expected him to flip out, start bawling uncontrollably, never to be consoled again. apparently, i was wrong. very wrong.

"blithe," he said, putting his hand on her shoulder, "it's ok. it was an accident. don't cry; it was just an accident. accidents happen. just like if you drank the rest of my juice box, how do you think i would feel?"

"upset," she said.

"yes, i would. but accidents happen, so it's ok."

ROFLMAO!!!!

every once in a while (read: almost daily), bram says something that just makes me laugh out loud. i thought i'd share. and i'm gonna start off with something festive, to get us all into the christmas spirit. ;)

quoth bram, "when i'm santa, i'm gonna have a list of everyone who's nice and everyone who's not. and if someone takes all my toys, i'm gonna put their name on the naughty list."

bram, after playing tag and shrieking through the house (which you can picture if you know him), poked his head around the corner and declared, "i think i have ADHD," to which blithe added, "yeah, because he's Devastation Hyperactivity Disorder." and i think that about sums it up.

ah, brammy. i digs him.

so, bram's playing with the lego-type-blocks right now. he built a house and said, "see, mommy? these pink things are the modifications to the larry-mobile. mommy, what's a modification?"

to be fair...

i have three kids. until right now, two of them had blogs. bram felt left out, so i made him one. here's what he wants me to do with it:

"write about all the stuff i like, even me! i want you to write about me, okay, mommy?"

he wants me to include everything he likes, so i'm assuming that means fave foods, all his toys, his thomas and lightning mcqueen obsessions, stuff like that. LOL

i'm also going to include "bram-isms." if you know him, you understand already. LOL
