Forgetting Someone

Forgetting someone is like forgetting to turn off the light in the backyard so it stays lit all the next day
But then it is the light that makes you remember.

The things that kids say...

So, Teegan is at that age that he picks up everything that people say around him. This can be both good and bad.

April brought him over for a little while and had stopped at McDonalds and got him an Ice Cream cone prior to that. April and I were trying to fix my bed frame because the hook thing that holds the frame together was very loose. I was holding the box spring up and Teegan wanted to "help" out. April and I were ready to put the bed back together and Teegan decided to push the box spring but when he did that both April and I weren't quite expecting it and we dropped it.

April was quite annoyed and told Teeg in a saracastic voice "Thanks a lot, Teegan." To which he so happily and proudly replied "You're Welcome!"

Then we were trying to make the bed but T decided he wanted to jump on the bed instead. He'd climb up, we'd catch him and put him on the floor, where he promptly ran to a different section to get back on the bed and everytime we asked him to help us, he'd say "yeah, sure", but then just kept on jumping.

Needless to say it took a while to get the bed made. When I was done, I told Teegan, "Guess what, Teegan?" He said, "What?" I told him, "You're never, ever, ever, going to have ice cream ever again." He stopped jumping, looked at me with a funny look and said "What the hell?"
