Yesterday we were sitting at the dinner table, and Gannon and Siri were eating Cheerios for dinner, because that's the kind of mom I am. Frankly, I was too tired and busy to cook something they were only going to complain about. So Cheerios it was. They were eating their mix of Banana Nut and Peanut Butter Cheerios, Siri's with milk, Gannon's with milk on the side (in a cup). He still eats the Cheerios out of the bowl with a spoon. I don't try to understand. Gannon had been talking about how much he loved the Annoying Orange (we hate it), and Siri was copying him with a very obnoxious sound that is a throaty, almost gutteral "bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh...". Watch Annoying Orange for about 5 seconds, and you will become painfully familiar with the sound. At first, Gannon found it quite amusing that his sister was copying him, and laughed. As moments went by, however, he gained a more adult understanding of the nails on a chalk board effect that sound has. He asked her to stop several time...
"Stop Siri.......Siri, Stop! PLEASE Stop Siri, that is just TOO annoying...."
Finally, he looked at me with pleading in his eyes (keep in mind the "bleh bleh bleh" is going on in the background) and says...
"Mom, Siri is being annoying. Please attack her."
I did not attack her. But the noise did stop.
My almost 9 year old son, Gannon, says some pretty awesome stuff. Several people suggested I start recording stuff he says. I'm no writer, so blogging wasn't the first thing that popped into my head, but since people seem to enjoy his quips, I thought I'd make them easier to read!
