Humor me

I love that my boys are funny. I live in a house full of comedians, and it makes my job amazing. This post is just a tidbit of the hilarity in our home.

Earlier this week I asked my little guys what they wanted to be when they grow up. This is what they said:

Brady: A knight who flies in an airplane and kills dragons.

Max: An elephant.
Brady: You're a boy. You can't grow up to be an elephant.
Max: Oh. A guy that wears an elephant costume. And scares birds.

Ba-dum-bum. And they're only two and three. I cannot WAIT to see what these two grow up to become.

And if you've only met Blake, it's easy to mistake him for completely and totally serious. He definitely thinks a lot, and he is often pretty serious. But that kid has a sense of humor that I just adore. Recently, he's been studying the Alamo at school (we live in San Antonio, after all). He had to make up some multiple choice questions about the Alamo, and this is what he came up with:

1. Who brought 14 more men to the USA army?
a. Davy Crockett
b. the New York army
c. George W. Bush

2. What did Texas become?
a. a place for weirdos
b. a giant cup of hot cocoa
c. independent

3. What did the Alamo become?
a. a library
b. a national landmark
c. Santa Claus's house

And yes, I am aware that Texas has indeed become a place for weirdos.

Praise God for the gift of laughter. And Praise God that He has blessed us so lavishly with that particular gift in this home.
