Michaelisms
Michael hates any mosquito spray application. I got an aerosolized spray to see if that would make it any easier. Nope. Some accidentally got in his eyes. While he weeped and wailed, I apologized profusely. "Michael, I'm SO sorry some got in your eyes. Mommy is just trying to keep those mosquitoes away from you. Those mosquitoes are just the nastiest little buggers." The crying suddenly stopped. Michael looked up, hurting eyes forgotten. "Mommy!" He said with amazement. "Will the mosquitoes turn into boogers if they get into my nose?"

A sweet teenage boy had a violin lesson immediately following our lessons today. On our way to the car, Michael suddenly asks me, "Mommy, can I wear floss like that boy we saw today?"
I was totally befuddled. He seemed to be dressed normally to me. "I'm not sure what you mean, he wasn't wearing 'floss.'" I responded.
"No, Mommy." Michael insisted. "He was wearing floss and I want to wear that too when I grow up."
Now I was completely confused. "What do you mean, Michael?" I asked.
"Mommy, it's the kind of floss that YOU put in your mouth every night. I want to wear that floss someday."
"OHHHH," I suddenly understood. "You mean a retainer for your teeth?" I wear one of those every night and both kids have watched with keen interest as I put it in and out of my mouth.
"Yes, mommy," he sighed, relieved I'd figured it out. "I do want to wear floss someday."

Michael: "Mommy, why did that lady drop off paper for you at Sabbath school?"
Me: "Uhm, what lady are you talking about?"
Michael: "You know mommy, the lady in the purple dress?"
Me: "No I really don't remember."
Michael: "Well she was in the purple dress and she was really nice."
Me: "I really don't remember."
Michael: "Well she had a purple dress and a white jacket and she was nice."
Me: "I have no idea."
Michael: Well get on your computer and send her an email and say, "Do you have a purple dress and a white jacket on? What is your name. I don't know your name. Send an email to her from me."
Me: "But I don't know who she is. How can I send an email if I don't know who she is."
Michael: "Oh, well try just sending a card or something."
