Things That Make Me Smile

11-29-12 We bought some apple cider awhile back. I guess it reminded Hyrum of herbal tea. He's been asking for "Gerbil Tea" so now the whole family refers to apple cider as gerbil tea! Sounds appetizing, doesn't it?
11-19-12 The family was discussing where we could put our Christmas Tree this year and I suggested in the kitchen...so we could have a 20 foot tall tree. Matt didn't like that idea and said, "I do know people that do that, but they're French." I guess that means we can't do that.
11-10-12 Hyrum told me yesterday that I should have named him "Bill". He said that all "Bills" are nice and that would have been a good name. I asked him who he knew named Bill and he said, "no one". Man, Layne and I really screwed up!
11-8-12 Hyrum says in his best vampire voice, "I want to suck your blood. That is in French and it means 'hello'."
10-2-12 As we were running errands I said to Hyrum, "I sure love you." He replied, "Why do you love me? I'm not THAT sweet?"
8-26-12 Hyrum hid behind the couch and then popped out and asked if he scared the "wickens" out of me. I'm guessing he is combining "wits" and "dickens"??
