Recording Liam's fertile effervescent mind/scintillating personality.
His mind is on the run all the time, physically too. Hence the word, whoosh.
Also, sometimes because I am overwhelmed.

Problem Child

September 2010

Liam was telling his favourite part in the movie, Problem Child 2. (Mommy asked him to tell it again for the video, signing clearly and as a result, Liam signed really slow).

Disoriented (ahem) penis

September 2010

Liam was in the bath and, naturally, he was playing with his private parts - poking, flapping, floating, stretching, etc. I came in for a second to check up on him.

Liam: "I wanna show you something."

He proceeded to stretch the skin of his scrotum on both sides and wrapped it around his penis.

Liam: "Straitjacket!!!"

Quote

Liam's imaginative thoughts blow me away. I saw this quote and thought it applies greatly to Liam - he loves to tell stories and is a bookworm.

"When I was a young boy they called me a liar. Now that I'm all grown up, they call me a writer." — Isaac Bashevis Singer

Commercial

There was a commercial on a kid's channel about tampons!

The girl "forgot" her bike lock at home and needed to buy tampons. So, she was asking guys if they could go in and buy some for her so she can watch her bike. A social experiment.



During the commercial...
Liam: "What are tampons??" *silence* "What are they for?" *silence*

Commercial ends...
Liam: "Oh!!!!! Tampons are for bikes! Duh!" *long silence* "But.... what for?"

Mommy escaped answering this question when the cartoon came on and Liam can't take his eyes off the screen. Whew. But I will make him buy some for me when he's old enough. I don't want him to be like those guys!

Flex the Bruise

September 2010

Liam: "Look, I have a bruise on my ankle."
Mommy: "Ouch, how did that happen?"
Liam: "I don't know..."
Mommy: "You never know where you get your bruises. Maybe at recess or in gym?"
Liam: "When I try to flex it, it hurts. Don't try it at home!"

What isn't out, isn't

September 2010

Out of the blue, in middle of a conversation...

Liam: "What isn't out, isn't."
Mommy: "What?"
Liam: "What isn't out, isn't."
Mommy: "Ugh... what isn't out?"
Liam: "What isn't out, isn't."
Mommy: "I know, but what isn't??"
Liam: "What isn't out, isn't."
Mommy: "What is the point?"
Liam: "To confuse you. Wow, I'm good."

Stupidity vs. Right

September 2010

Jeff was teasing Liam about something.

Liam: "You're so stupid." *eyes rolling*
Jeff: "Then why is your mom still with me?"
Liam: "Because mommy likes to be right."
