summer one liners and big windy's

Sitting in the backyard swing with Rachel enjoying the uncharacteristically cool summer evening... and she says:

"If I were a monkey and I lived in utah... I would live in that (pointing at a tree in the next yard) tree! Doesn't it look like a good Monkey tree?!" *contemplative pause* "I'm sure the Kratzers wouldn't mind me eating the plums in their yard. And we really should plant a banana tree!!!"

Cousin Bethany while eating a popsicle:

"It just isn't summer if your tongue isn't purple!"

Mason: "Carson and I found 15 beetles each!!!!"

Mom: Is that a true story?

Mason: *looks away, tries not to smile* "well, Carson and I found and smashed 4 beetles each!!"

Mom: Is that a true story?

Mason:*looks away, tries not to smile* "Well, Carson and I were looking for beetles but all we saw was that 1 dead one that you saw."

Mom: Is that a true story?

Mason: YES! That is a true story!

(wrote down the quote but not the speaker...)

We had a very wet summer. It rained most of June.....

Unknown Bocanegra child: "I feel like a wet slug"

Unknown Bocanegra Child: *disgusted expression* "It's like singing in the rain"

Mom: "I thought you liked singing in the rain"

UBC: "not when I get wet"

Big Windy of the day

Mason: "Do you know what I do at night mom?

Me: "umm... sleep or play with your toys by your nightlight?"

Mason: "no.  I don't hardly ever do those things.  I dress up like this and go out and kill all the bad guys. That's what I do at night!"

More Wind:

Apparently, Mark is spending his extra time training for the Men's olympic Gymnastic team. Or as Mason put it so eloquently.... My dad does somersaults in tight pants for medals.

And we didn't even watch the olympics this summer! Where does he come up with these?  At least Mark has replaced being dead with something more exciting.

I know he told his primary teacher a couple more but I can't remember.  Andrea??? 

addendum:

About 5 min. after I first published this post we had this exchange...

He comes downstairs when he SUPPOSED to be in bed. He is wearing a medieval green velvet w/gold stripes head ring around his neck, one black high heeled boot,a black cape, his pj pants, his paper crown from yesterday's primary lesson, and holding his bow of course. 

Mark: "why are you wearing Samantha's boot?"

Mason: "It is my spy boot"

Mark: "get to bed"

(I follow him up to make sure....)

Me: "get those dressups off and get to bed"

Mason:"I can't, my spy captain said I have to go spying tonight"

Jacob: "maybe he said you could go later"

Mason: (ripping off dressups) "oh yeah! he did say I could go later"
