These kids mouths are on fire lately....the latest, courtesy of Emmalyn!
Emmalyn: Mom, um, are Uncle T & Stefani married like you and Dad?
Me: No, not yet honey. Maybe some day. She's really nice, huh?
Emmalyn: Ya, but if they get married, Uncle T's going to have to like, get a job and stuff....
When I texted Trent this fun conversation, his response was simple. WOW. Grandma asked what she had to say about Grandpa, if she thought that about Uncle Trent! :)
Out of the mouths of babes...
Also, along those same lines. Jason's company bought an old short bus to transport workers from the far away parking at Purdue to the actual job site. They had it stickered to read Bouma Betten, and Jason picked it up for them, then just brought it home, rather than driving it back to Lafayette after hours. I forwarned Jason that the kids would be through the roof excited, especially after seeing a video on Dad's phone of the old bus, "rollin' coal"....aka...pouring black smoke out of its back pipes rollin' down the highway. I warned him they'd want a ride. (I might have even suggested we take it to Lowery's to drive through the Christmas lights. Perhaps Mom was JUST as geeked as the kids....)
We pulled in to the drive after picking the kids up at Pam's and immediately...a chiming chorus of questions from Colton, then EMmalyn, then Emmalyn, then Colton, and Keaton trying to engage and keep up with "cool, bus, daddy!"....
"Is that Dad's short bus?"
"That's awesome"
"Can we go somewhere in it?"
"Is it Dad's"
"That's so cool!"
"I've never been on a short little bus like that!"
And sure enough, they stormed the front door, begged for a quick ride, and Jason obliged, feeling quite like a king....
Keat thought this was especially exciting, and kept telling daddy how "cool" his "cool bus" was!
Best lookin' short bus driver I ever did see....
Daddy gave the kids a quick tour up and down the drive...and then we parked it. Happy Campers they were....and proud of their short bus drivin' daddy!
And just for the record, here's video of Keaton's sweet voice, repeating that his Dad was "rollin' coal" down the driveway.....
