Guys and Dolls: The Safety Patrol

I made a quick phone call to the Doctor's office while driving in the car and when I hung up I heard Theron say from the back of the van, "Mom, did you know it is dangerous to talk on the phone while you are driving?"
Me: (Gulp) "Who told you that?"
Theron: "I learned it on the computer from the Safety Patrol. I know all about car safety."
Isaac: "Yeah, and you should never listen to your ipod and sing really loud while someone is driving because that will distract the driver."
Me: "Yep, you guys are right."
Theron: "Well, why did you talk on the phone while you were driving mom?"
Me: "Uhhhh..."

Some other valuable things that I learned during this lecture:

When you are in the car you should always buckle your seat belt.
If there is a fire in your house you should never open a door if it feels hot. You should go to the window and yell for help.
If there is a fire man coming toward you, you should not run from him. You should go to him for help.

So...sorry to all those of you who were previously on my "call while driving in the car" list...you are being ousted for the cause of being a good example to my kids. They are always watching...

Theron thinks...

--"I am so grossed out of this meat."
--"Dad, you can tie my feet together 'cause I'm tired of walking."
--"I need help. My shirt is inside outside."
--"Mmm, it tastes like lemonade french fries."
--"Some day, mommy, my tummy's going to be really fat."
--"Mom, my breath hurts."
--"Larry, did you know these are made in China. The Indians made them in China."
--“It’s a good thing our necks are so circle-y so we can swallow a bunch of noodles or...anything!”
--“Mom, if you look really closely up and stretch your neck you can look like a giraffe.”
--"It was much more fun when me and grandpa were together."
--"Mom, I wish you had the money job."
--"Isaac, I have an idea...when we start to fight, let's stop."
--“Daddy, coaches don’t like to be tickled.”
--“If I do sin, I think I’ll get destroyed.”
--“If I was Humpty Dumpty I would not fall off the wall.”
--“The password is bird poop forever.”
--“Hey, wait a second...you can’t hog all of it!”
--“Urg! This isn’t going very well!”

You Don't Know Ike

--"If today is Independence day then why didn't you let me choose my own clothes?"
--"He was supervising me. Supervise means boss."
--“Don’t say dumb. Dumb is a stupid bad word.”
--"My brain told me. I guess they are good for somethin' besides just sittin' up there."
--“That’s because sometimes I am as smart as a scientist.”
--“Theron, I want to tell you something. President Hinckley said, ‘Don’t ever forget to pray’.”
--“Mom, wanna smell my arm pit? Does it smell boyish?”
--“I have a really good heart for things that you do for me.”
--“Mommy, girls aren’t boys. That’s the first thing about boys.”
--“Mommy, sometimes when I wear two underwears it keeps my pelvis warm.”
--“It’s annoying coughing a lot!”
--“The girls spend all the money.”

Aprilyn said...: We watch the Safety Patrol when we watch TV (which isn't that often). Marshall has not given me any safety violations yet but I'm sure he will soon. You should be glad they didn't put an orange cone on your head!!; May 4, 2008 at 8:11 PM
