Ummm ... okay.

Ole: "Mama ... did you know that I just tasted my ear wax ... and you know what?!"

Me: "What?"

Ole: "It's really sour..."

When he's a rebellious teenager ... he'll listen to Barry Manilow

On the car ride to camp this morning ...

Ole: "Mama ... put on Black Sabbath.'
Me: "Ok."

Ole: "I wanna hear War Pigs."

Me: "Ok ... is this it?"

Ole: "No. That's The Wizard."

Me: "Is this it?"

Ole: "Yeah ... that's War Pigs."

This kid is gonna be trouble...

He was pretty grumpy when he woke up yesterday morning ... and here's why: he told me he had a dream that he saw the most beautiful girl. He said she was really pretty. She kissed him. He liked it.

He was grumpy though ... because he said he wanted to see her again. Needed to see her again.

Who knew he was so passionate???

Feel the love ...

I didn't ask him to elaborate...

My mom and I were talking about how I've lost some weight ... and Ole says,

"Since you're not so fat ... you should give your fat clothes to your fat friends."

B-Ball boy...

"I played basketball today at camp. My team ... the Mexican Lizards ... beat Alex's team."

This is never not funny ... I could watch it again and again.

Oh my god ... now what do I do?

uh oh, originally uploaded by Angela OKCorral.

Rockers...

Ole and Lila performing Ironman ... ala Black Sabbath.

More Ole Wisdom

Ole: "I wish I was a crow."
Me: "Why?"
Ole: "Because I could fly and eat dead squirrels in the street."
Me (trying to stifle laughter): "I see"
Ole: "Also because I could land on electrical wires and not get any electric on me."

The boy in action...

Ole said all of this before 9am today...

"I am the king of drawing butts."

"Look, mama I drew a penis. No wait ... actually I drew a whistle! I can draw whistles!"

"I'm never gonna get married because I'm not that girly."

"I love Luke more than space."

"I want to go to the beach ... and look at the ocean as far as the eye can see."

Cheryl and the boys...

It seemed normal at the time...

In the car ... driving out of the parking garage at work ... on our way to an event ...

Diana: "Remind me to put my shirt on when we get there."
Me: "Okay."

Because he's so advanced...

Words Luke says:
Mama
Papa
ball
hi
banana
flower

He has started walking ... and by walking I mean he takes a few steps at least once a day.
He pushes toy cars around and makes car sounds.
He flies toy airplanes and makes plane sounds too.
Everytime an airplane or helicopter flies overhead ... he points and says something which I'm sure means airplane in his brain.
He also loves his brother SO much ... even when he's asleep on the couch:

He loves talking to his Norwegian Grandma...

How do these two questions get confused?

Becky: "What time is it"
Me: "6:13"
Becky: "No. I mean ... what's your zip code?"
