Overheard...

Sometimes when in the car, the radio, DVD player, ipod, and iphone all remain in the off position.  Doesn't happen often but I sure hear the funniest things. 

Randomly:
Cooper:  PHEW!  [said in a faux radio voice] Hello!  This is Cooper Lewis and I have stinky feet!

Cooper:  Hey, Mom?  In that new movie is there a character named Pussy Boots?
Mom:  I think his name is Puss-n-Boots, Coop. 

Also noted this Spring Break:

Me:  Hey Clark, why don't you let me sit in the middle of you and Carter so we can share the popcorn?  Clark:  [said in his oldest old man voice] Carter is sitting there, Mom.  And Carter is just fine. He even pats my leg reassuringly. 

Sunday School Teacher, Mrs. Sandi:  Cooper, do you know your memory verse?  Cooper:  Yes, I know them all.  I finished the book last night. [He really did ready through his entire Bible Devotion on Saturday night.]

So on Monday, it was very windy.  That night after he was tucked in he tells me, "Mom, while I was outside today, I raised my hands really big and wide and told the wind to stop blowing.  And you know what?  Jesus made the wind stop blowing, right then.  Just like He did when He was on the ship!"

We watched two movies, first we all watched The Lorax.  Then Clark, Carter, Mimi, and I watched Hunger Games on Friday morning and we couldn't wait to see it.  Carter left The Lorax to "to uses the bathroom" and was gone for awhile.  When he returned I asked if he was okay.  He said, "Yeah, I was just trying to decide if I was going to ditch you guys and go hang out with the Hunger Gamers.  I really don't want to wait until tomorrow!"

The boys got to ride in a helicopter!  They were so excited.  Clark was by far the most eager. Afterwards, I asked him if it made him want to be a pilot.  "Yeah, if I get fired from being an architect.  But prolly only if I get fired first."  Always good to have a Plan B, buddy.  

My dad killed a snake.  It was twitching a bit when the boys found it but for all medical purposes dead.  "It's alive!" they all screamed.  So they proceeded to throw rocks at it and poke and slap at it with cane sticks.  Clark decides more tools are required to finish the job.  "Pawpaw, where is a snake's weak spot?  All animals have a weak spot somewhere."  He then gets a shovel, brings it to the little posse of snake killers.  Far more concerned for the safey of posse, we make a beeline for the front row of this show.  Before the boys will pronounce the snake dead, it is in three pieces and slung in different directions at least 25 yards apart.  Mission accomplished.  They saved the world from dead snake.  They are my heroes.
