mattisms...

Because, once again... I do not want to forget.

"Mom, I am so FUSTERATED! I can't get my shoe on."
"Matt, do you mean frustrated."
"Ugghh, that's what I say - FUSTERATED!"

***************************************************

(Matt's comment after asking me the same question 15 times and getting the same answer - which was NO.)

"SILENCE - YOU ARE NOT THE MAN! uh, Mom... have you seen my Daddy?"

(by the way... my husband SWEARS he did not teach him this)

***************************************************

(Matt and Andrew are watching cartoons and a commercial comes on for a remote control car.)

Matt: "Dad, when I say - I want that remote car, you say - but, I thought you wanted the Planet Heroes Space Ship. Okay?"
Andrew; "Okay."
Matt: "Dad, I want that remote car."
Andrew: "But, I thought you wanted the Planet Heroes Space Ship?"
Matt: "I want them both, thanks for asking!"

****************************************************

Me: "Matt, what do you want for breakfast? We have cereal or waffles."
Matt: "I want Macaroni and Cheese."
Me: "That's a lunch food, right now we are having breakfast."
Matt: "I want Macaroni and Cheese, please."
Me: That was really nice asking, but we are having breakfast."
Matt: "Okay, then I'll just have lunch instead."

****************************************************

Matt: (day two of preschool) "Mom, am I FINALLY old enough to go to kindergarten?"

****************************************************

Matt: (day three of preschool - and not wanting to get out of bed) "Mom, I forgot to tell you that the first week I would be a little sick and need to stay home."

****************************************************

What can I say... 3 is a fun age!
