Finnanigans

Me to Finn and Audrie: I love both of your freckles. They’re one of my favorite things.

Audrie: I love your freckles, too, Mom.

Finn: The pimple on your face is rrreeeeaaalllly red. It’s right there. You should look at it.

Upon getting a receipt after buying a toy with a gift card:

Mom, here’s the receive for you to hold.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Audrie: Ooooh, now I’m almost invincible.

Finn: No, actually Audrie, we can still see you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Referring to a deflated inflatable mattress:

Audrie, we can’t sleep there, it’s already been blowed down.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shortly after leaving the house to go to San Antonio, we pulled into a nearby shopping center to pick up a pair of sunglasses for the trip. When we climbed out of the car, Finn said:

So, this is what San Antonio looks like.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After visiting the Alamo, and getting a plastic Bowie knife souvenir:

Mom, can you hand me my boobie knife?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pretending to push buttons all over my uncle, making all kinds of sound effects to accompany button pushing:

There, I made your face into a smiley face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn: Mom, I want to have lots of jobs when I grow up.

Me: Like what?

Finn: I want to be a pilot for airplanes like we fly in and for airplanes like those [pointing to the B-2’s we were watching on TV].

Me: What else do you want to be?

Finn: Ummmmm, uhhh, hmmm.

Me: Do you want to be an astronaut?

Finn: No way!

Me: Why not?

Finn: Because you have to wear diapers.
