Tues Ten 050410: Drummer-isms Version 5.0

Since we’ve been celebrating Little Drummer Boy’s fifth birthday this week, I thought I’d once again share some of the insight that springs from his brain on a sometimes daily basis. He never fails to make me laugh, ponder and cry all at the same time. I give you this week’s Tuesday Ten: Drummer-isms, version 5.0. AND, I’ve included a bonus top ten list of my favorite previous posts featuring Little Drummer Boy. He’s provided much Junkie inspiration.  Enjoy getting to know my favorite 5yo and the lessons he’s taught me!

1. “Maybe that’s the Spanish way of saying it’s as easy as possible.”
[LDB's take on the etymology of "easy as pie."]

2. “Mommy, you’re my best friend.”
[Smile.]

3. “I think I can trust you to pick something cute.”
[On letting ME pick out Baby Girl's clothes for daycare]

4. “My mom said neat-o.”
[Said with pride when Mommy was being completely Mommy at a preschool party. I'm dreading the day that pride turns into rolling eyes.]

5. “I love tootin’ sounds. They make me giggle a lot.”
[Obviously. Sigh. Boys.]

6. “I thought it was dark in there. Maybe next time, if I’m a baby I should bring my flashlight in there.”
[From a discussion about being in Mommy's belly]

7. “There you go again. Huggin’ me.”
[Yeah. Get used to it.]

8. “Mommy, I like your new glasses.”
[Ever the charmer. Steals my heart every time.]

9. “You’re making my brain hurt.”
[I know the feeling, but can I get that with a side of "yes ma'am?"]

10. “Look at them flying, Mommy. They’re like tiny little airplane seeds.”
[On blowing dandelions]
