I have a notebook that I wrote silly things that Rory & Ian said growing up, but decided to record them also here, so I never lose them, and so that others can also get a good giggle!
On Rory's 2nd birthday, he got up with Mum and Ian at 4:30. Grandma (called "Beema" by the kids) said, "Rory, you can come to bed with Beema, honey." To that Rory replied, "Beema, it's 5 oclock in the morning! Go back to bed!"
On January 2, 1994, the day after Rory turned 2, he drank a glass of orange juice during breakfast. Then he said, "Mum, I drink it all and it goes down, down, down, all the way to Rory's penis."
Rory was 2 and asked for some juice one day. We said there wasn't any juice, so he said, "Well, then why don't you go to Meijers!"
At 2, Rory could say all of his ABC's (but he usually missed "E") and could count to 14.
March 1994, Rory asked Papa about his adam's apple. He had to stand in front of the mirror and swallow and watch his adam's apple go up and down. About a week later, someone was at the house drinking a pop. Rory pointed and said, "What's that?" to which the gentleman said, "It's my tie" and Rory said, "No, its called your adams apple!"
March 1994, Rory was 2 years old. Mum, Ian, and Beema were talking to an older lady in a store. She asked what Rory's name was, and when we said, "RORY" she replied, "Cory? Lory?" and I said, "No, RORY, like Rory Calhoun, the cowboy" The old lady said, "Rory Calhoun was a hunk!" and Rory then said, "I'm a hunk too!"
March 1994. Rory asked papa one morning, "Are you going to work this morning Papa?" Papa answered "Yes" Rory asked, "Why Papa?" Papa answered "to get some money" to which Rory replied, "For what? For beer?"
October 1994 - Rory woke up, crawled in bed with Mum and said, "Mum, skies are red and skies are blue and all the stars are black and blue and I love you Mum!"
November 29, 1994 - Rory was almost 3 and we were out driving around looking at Christmas lights on houses and came across one house with angels caroling in front and Rory said, "Hey Mum, look! A flying Jesus!"
November 1994 - We were at Papa's house and Rory drew a circle on a piece of paper. Papa told him to put ears on it and Rory said, "Papa! Apples don't have ears!"
November 1994 - Rory got off the toilet and said, "Hey Mum, look! I pooped a snake!"
Christmas day 1994 - Rory got up, ran into the living room, saw all the Christmas presents and got excited and yelled, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Holy KADIDDLEHOPPERS!"
One night Beema told Rory a story "Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Weeta Weese (Rita Louise). Then Rory told a story, "Once upon a time, there was a little boy and his name was me!"
A few weeks before Easter 1995, I bought Rory a new jacket for spring. He said, "What will the grasshopper bring me in my Easter basket?" (he meant the easter bunny)
Beema and Papa were over and getting ready to go out to dinner. Rory said he was going with them. I told him he wasn't going, but he insisted. He said, "I'm going. Believe it or not Papa, I AM going, and that's just the way it is!"
A lady at the playground asked what nationality we were because of Rory's name. I told her it was an Irish name. She said, "I didn't know Sergei was an Irish name," at which time Rory started to wink at me and said, "Mum, my name is Sergei Federov, remember????"
Nanny asked Rory what each of the characters in the Wizard of Oz wanted and when she came to the lion, Rory said he wanted "porridge" (instead of courage).
July 1995, at 2-1/2, Rory could tie his own shoes with no help!
Family reunion 1995, Ian was in the barn crawling on the hay. A little girl looked at Mum and said, "Don't worry, I've got him!" Ian turned around and said, "No! I GOT ME!" The same little girl asked me, "Is it okay if Steve Yzerman goes with me over there?"
(Seems my kids had an obsession with calling themselves after famous Red Wing hockey players). ;)
August 19, 1995, Rory said he "had a feeling something was wrong" with him because there was "black fur" growing on his legs.
November 1992 Rory asked Papa, "Do you have any WXYZ?" Papa asked what that was, and Rory whispered, "chocolate!"
First grade - Rory and I were talking about dissecting in science, and I told him one day he would dissect a worm. He looked really puzzled and wanted to know if they had a heart, stomach, etc., and I said yes, of course. He then replied, "I wonder how God could shove all that stuff inside of a worm."
In 5th grade, Ian stayed home from school one day with a belly ache. While in Rite Aid, he said we needed to buy a bag of chocolate truffles because they would make him poop and he would feel better. ;)
One day Ian asked Mum if he would ever have a little brother. I told him no, that there were no more babies coming to our family. So he said, "Fine! Then I will ask Grandma! She will get me one!"
