From the mouths of babes....

My older sister and her family came down for the funeral. So I got plenty of time to bond and hang out with my 5 nephews. The range in age from 11 down to 2 years old....

Nephew #1

He gets in my car, buckles his seat belt, turns to me and says "Is this going to be a scenic drive?"

I was floored... I turned back to him and said, "Well only if you find cows to be and hay bales scenic."

Nephew #2

He plops down next to me and says "You're pretty, I'm going to call you Auntie Princess".

Who am I to argue? The kid is a good judge of character....

Nephew #3

He's sitting in between me and one of my cousins and says "When you two get older, I'm going to buy you brooms so you can fly"

My cousin and I look at each other in shock as my dad pipes in and says "Make sure they have a place to plug in their cell phones"


Nephew #4
I walked into my Aunts house and noticed a big crack in the ceiling of the dining room and asked her what happened...

My nephew walks by and says "Oh that? I did that when I broke in to steal the chickens. Sorry." Then grabs a bunch of grapes and walks out to the backporch like nothing happened.

Nephew #5

Nephew #5 is the youngest. He's the cutest little snuggle bear. At the end of the wake when we were all leaving the funeral home I said "Come on baby, it's time to go, say goodbye to Grandma Tiger. " He ran halfway up the aisle, waved and said "Bye grandma, see you tomorrow."
