Overheard . . .

FROM GABRIEL:

Mom: "Gabriel, I got your presents for your teachers for Christmas today."

Gabriel: "Really, What is it?"

Mom: "Candles"

Gabriel: "CANDLES! (increduously) I was thinkin' a ring or a necklace or something. Now THAT is what womens like."

Gabriel: "Mom, there is a voice in my heart telling me I am going to be a football player when I grow up."

Mom: "Really, who do you think the voice is?"

Gabriel: "YOU know who (pointing up to the heavens)"


Gabriel: "John Mark! John Mark, come smell my toot."

FROM JOHN MARK:

Said while laying on a bed looking at an "Ocean" book with Daniel. Said whilst laying back with head in hands with legs crossed. Said with the inflection and tone of an old wise sage; one who has "been there."

"Now, Daniel, you have to be careful in the deep dark sea."

Said to Daniel upon learning we were going to a high school football game:

"Now, Daniel, you can't run out on that field. They will tackle you." "You stay with me."

John Mark: "Mom, did you know that Darth Vader was born when they were 'debebrating' (i.e. celebrating) the devil?"

FROM DANIEL:

Said while pointing to the "air nozzle" on the tire on Mitch's car:

"Yook mommy. Tire has pee-pee."
