An Adult Mind in a Child's Body

Jaxon's been his funny self lately.

We were organizing the house in preparation for my mother moving in with us for a few months. I got a big plastic tub for each of the kids and told them it was their memory box. I gave them each their baby books, small framed baby pictures, trophies, and other memories to put in it.

As Jaxon is loading his soccer trophies (that have previously been on the shelf) into the box he says to me, "Mom, why am I doing this? It's not like I'm packing for college."

Oh yes, Jaxon, it's not like that. But thanks for seeing through my plan to de-clutter your room!

2. Yesterday our A/C went out, again! I took the kids to Neilsen's for ice cream (and we shared a hamburger). Let me be clear, I didn't get my own ice cream because I'm realizing that it makes me feel sick and I don't want the calories, etc. So I was just sampling Jaxon's lemon custard and didn't realize how much I had eaten until he asks me very politely and innocently, "Mom, why didn't you order your own?"

Yes, you see through me again, Jaxon. :)

3. This morning Jaxon asked me if I thought "Jaxon" was a good name for an adult. He was worried that his name sounded too kid-like. I asked him what name he wanted when he was an adult.

"Nick," he replied.

Jaxon Says

• 
• Jaxon and Lyda put on a magic show for us. After it was over Jaxon scolded Lyda, "Why did you only say 'Abracadabra'? You were supposed to say, 'Abracadabra, Alamazoo!'" Poor Lyda.
  
  (Here are some other funny Jaxon quotes)
  
  
• "Bakugans are not kissable-proof! (Finn was kissing his Bakugan toys). Kissable-proof means they are not kissable!"
  
  
• One day I started to sing a lullaby Jaxon interrupts me and says, "That's going on my imbecile list."
  
  
• I told Jaxon I liked one of his drawings and he says, "Thank you for appreciating it."
  
  
• Jaxon says to his brother, "Can you get me a spoon, Asher? You are really handsome, Ash."
  
  
• During lunch Jaxon says to me, "Mom I need a phone to call a great detective. Someone took a bite out of my cheese crisp." (It turned out to be him)
  
  
• Jaxon says, "Picking up my stuff is part of our imbecile family!" (he used this word for a while)
  
  
• We drove by an older LDS church with a satellite dish in the back. Jaxon pointed at it and said, "That's how we communicate with God. It's a spaceship."
