Good News

Marley: hey Matthew, why don’t you tell Dave the good news you told me?
Wee Boy: oh yeah. Dave you look 15 years younger when you shave your beard!
Marley: no what was the news you told me?
Wee Boy: oh yeah..I got an A on my test

Anatomy Quiz

Wee Boy: Dave, True or False…I’m old enough to start doing puberty
Me: um, true Wee Boy: Correct. Now here’s a tricky one. True false- the balls have two string looking things that connect to a bladder
Me: true?
Wee Boy: Correct!

Friends and Lawsuits

Wee Boy: so a kid thought I got him in trouble today and he told me he was could to sue me
Me: haha sue you huh?
Wee Boy: yeah but he doesn’t know what he’s messin with.
Me: well dude, he’s a kid he can’t sue you. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Wee Boy: no he doesn’t. He’s just sayin that. Besides, even if he could sue me, he doesn’t realize I would send him to a deserted island.
Me: that’s how most lawsuits are settled out of court
Wee Boy: Yeah

The Great Texas Turtle Over-run and the rise of Phil Graham

Wee Boy: so you’re saying if I let my turtles go they could overpopulate the area and destroy the environment.
Me: yeah that’s pretty much it. It’d be like the great turtle overrun of 1985 in Texas
Wee Boy: what was that?
Me: well a little kid let his turtles loose in Texas and they over populated the state and got really powerful. One named Phil Graham even became a senator.
Wee Boy: well turtles may have gotten that far but that’s nothing according to my Guiness world records book about frogs that over populated Florida
Me: did they run for office yet?
Wee Boy: it doesn’t say but I’m sure if turtles did frogs would. Hey wait..Mom is Dave kidding or is that true about turtles and the senator in Texas?

A Female President

Wee Boy: so Dave, do you think there will ever be a female president?
Me: sure. Probably in the next election we could have one the way things are going
Wee Boy: oh really? Are you worried about that?
Me: no not really.
Wee Boy: you don’t think if there was a woman president she’d make all the men do the work so women could shop and do their hair? Because that’s what I’m worried about.

Life Plan

Wee Boy: I think I pretty much know what I’m going to do with my life
Marley: oh yeah
Wee Boy: yeah. I’ll probably run cross country in junior high, join the chess club, then in high school I’ll study animals and maybe play football and then I’m going to go to the University of Kentucky
Me: University of Kentucky eh? Why’s that?
Wee Boy: that’s where the guy from Call of the Wild lives. I’m going to take his place. His teeth have almost all fallen out so by the time I get there he should be ready to quit.

Favorite President

Wee Boy: You know who my favorite president is?
Marley McAnally: who?
Wee Boy: George Washington. Because he had wooden teeth. So he didn’t have to waste time brushing them. They were probably like dentures. It’d be pretty awesome to be president and not have to brush your teeth
