Brady and Aaron

One of the perks of living in Oregon has been seeing my Chatrin, Jason, and boys regularly. Brady and Aaron say and do the most hilarious things. I kept a log of funny things they did and said while we met up with them in Seattle for the Fourth of July. So here goes...

• Before we got there Brady had put a sign on Aaron's new toy and set it out in the front yard. "Buy it. $3.99" He was pretty pleased with himself.
• Brady to Catherine, "Mom, do you love Aaron?"

• Aaron to Catherine, "He [Mike] is smarter than you. Look at his brain."
  
  
  
  
• Aaron struggles with names. After I told him that my name isn't Becca (for the hundredth time) he asked, "Do you know Becca?" Me-"Yes. She is my sister." Aaron- "You have a lot of sisters."
• The Call's neighbor accidentally shot off half of his leg with a shotgun over a year ago. He was showing off his prosthetic leg to the boys when Aaron said, "Now you have a robot leg. I can't believe you can control that. Do you got robot feet?"

• Brady is currently on a whale kick. Whales are the new pigs, you see. When they were sitting in the backseat of my car, I heard him ask Mara, "Do you like whales, Baby?" They proceeded to sing "Baby Beluga" to her while we were driving. 

• Aaron about Mara, "She has a small brain right now so when she is five or six she won't remember anything. Like me. I don't remember a single fing from when I was a baby because I had a short brain."

• Aaron often called Mara "Marla." Oh the power of a letter. Her name went from cute to terrible in an instant.
• Aaron also couldn't remember Marla's gender and asked if "it" was a boy or girl. He insisted that she looks more like a he and would often get confused. "I hope he grows up fast. Can he crawl yet?" I think he was pretty underwhelmed with Marla's skills in general.
