I need crayons...

Gannon came home from school today very proud of himself for the "green stamp" he got for his behavior. He came right inside to get his homework done.  Once it was found, he sat down at the desk in his room to do a few pages.  I went downstairs to start dinner (see koenigslivebetter.blogspot.com for more info on our new lowfat lifestyle).  

Not 15 minutes into my preparation with only one interruption to feed the baby, Gannon came downstairs and presented me with a note.  It read as follows:

Six Flags

Kage (far right in the pic) to Siri (next to Kage) while riding the airplanes at Six Flags:
"Back in the day, there was only one steering wheel on the plane"
Keep in mind, Kage is 6 and Siri is 3... how long ago is "back in the day" !?!?!?!?!

Forgery

Gannon is in 1st grade.  Each day they get a color: Apple stamp for EXCELLENT, Green for good, Yellow for had some problems, Blue for really not so good, and Red for WOW, you had to work at being that difficult!  The calendar is to be initialed daily by a parent so that parents  Today, Gannon came home with a green.  As parents, we were of course, pleased.  Gordon went to sign it for the day, but oddly, the folder was already signed with a VERY close replica of his signature.  I was questioned first, but I quickly pointed out that as one of his parents, I would probably have signed my OWN name.  We went to the next most probable source.
"Yup.  I did that.  It looks JUST like daddys!"

So, forgery, A+...we just need to work on an alibi.

Triglycerides

Me: Gordon, you really need to watch your fats, especially since your triglycerides are so high!
Gannon:  Yah, Dad, and Sugar.  Sugar is soooooo bad for you!
Me:  Whatever Gannon, you eat a TON of sugar
Gannon:  That's just because I love it.  Sugar is sooooooo tasty!

A few since the baby...

Gannon points at the baby and says: Can that thing share my room since it's pretty cute?

Gordon watching McClintock:  Gannon, come down stairs and learn to be a man!
Gannon:  Awwwwww, why?!!?!?!?!?!  Why do I always have to come down stairs to learn to be a man!?!?! (*Watches show for about thirty seconds) So is that how you be a man?  Ok.  Good. (goes back upstairs)
