Guys and Dolls: The XF7

The XF7

For Christmas Isaac and Theron each got a bin full of office supplies (tape, staples, staplers, rubber bands, paper, paperclips, rulers, note pads, etc.). We thought this would keep them entertained on a rainy afternoon and keep our supplies from disappearing so quickly.

While I was taking a nap and Travis was away the boys created the XF7 using a diaper box for the torso and a baby wipe box for the head. His arms are two rulers, his head is taped to his body, he has a cut rubber band for a mouth, and is decorated all over with paperclips and small pieces of cut paper. Theron was disappointed that his mouth seemed to frown no matter how much he taped it. To finish him off they taped their robot to a dump truck to make him mobile. How clever! I was most impressed that they created this whole thing without arguing or disturbing me by asking for help. He has been a part of the family now for about one week.

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.”
