MARCHING!

I think this story is adorable and so Becky, however, it is really short. As kids often do, Becky was jumping (or was she?) on the bed. Mom goes in the room and says "Becky, quit jumping on the bed!" and Becky replies very matter-of-factly, "I'm not jumping, I'm marching!" What a cutie!

What would he do with four?

Well, we wer eating with the family and because eric isn't here we often find ourselves talking about him and mom told us a cute little story! When Eric was little dad would give him a cookie, but Eric needed one for both hands so dad would give him another one. Well, knowing the guy dad is he thought it would be funny to see what Eric would do if he handed him a third cookie. So dad held out a cookie. Eric would look at the cookie in his left hand then at the one in his right hand then at the one in dad's hand and did that a couple times then he stuck one in is mouth and grabbed the the third one. Mom doesn't remember how he actually got around to eating them but she said it was so cute to see this little boy with a cookie sticking out of his mouth and one in each hand! What would he have done if dad gave him a fourth one? He's clever, he would've thought of something! :D

So Jenny, in a comment to my "Near Death Experience" post, reminded me of a story that my mom likes to tell. I was probably around 5 years old. My mom had taken me and my sisters grocery shopping and I got to sit underneath the cart on the little space where you normaly put big bags of dog food (probably because the other places in the cart were taken by my sisters). Anyway, as my mom turned the corner to the next aisle there was a very rotund lady coming towards us from the other end. My mom kept wishing that she would get through the entire aisle without me saying anything embarrasing. We passed the lady, and I was on my very best behavior. And just when my mom thought she was home free, I couldn't hold it anymore. As we were getting ready to turn out of that aisle, I said at the top of voice, "MOM, DID YOU SEE HOW FAT THAT LADY WAS?" My mom didn't even turn to see if the lady heard because there was no doubt that she had. My mom quickly turned the corner, hurried up the rest of her shopping, and left. THE END.
