Topic: Momma's Lover Dover
Cale's had a few doozies lately so I thought that I would share them here.
One morning, as Cale's primary division director opened the door to the car to let him exit, he said, "Good morning Mrs. Close." She kindly replied, "Good morning Cale. How are you?" His answer. . ."I'm good. I think I'm going to kiss a girl today." I drove off. . .acting like I'd NEVER heard this admission or premeditated PDA.
In church on Sunday morning, Cale was being good and quiet. During the Lord's supper prayer, I saw him fold his hands, bow his head and close his eyes. After the "Amen," Cale leaned over to me and said, "Momma. . .I prayed a different pray." This statement alone caused me to take a deep breath so as not to disrupt service. Then I raised my eyebrows in a questioning manner so he'd finish his statement. . .and he did. "I asked God to tell you to not tell me what to do anymore." At this point, I almost erupted in laughter, but I just patted him and said gently, "We'll see if God answers THAT prayer."
Then Cale had a classic "Leave It To Beaver" moment. He hadn't been feeling well, and my dad decided to call and check on him one morning as we were headed to school. When I hung up and told Cale, his response was, "Odie was worried about me?" I answered yes and Cale said, ever so politely, "Gee whiz mom. That's awful nice of Odie to call and check on me." I had to double check to make sure we weren't in black and white!
And last, but certainly not least, Cale's manners have definitely improved since school started up again. He's even polite when in trouble. He was sent to time out for doing something he wasn't supposed to and then back-talking. I believe his exact statement that compiled his troubles was, "No! I am NOT doing this. It's ridiculous." Upon hearing of his sentence to his stool, he looked at Chris and called him STUPID. Chris said, "Alright. That's fine, now you get two time-outs. Now go." Cale's reply?? "Yes sir."
