Jacksonisms

some Christmas ones first…

Santa’s Ride
Discussing Santa:  “Mommy, Santa drives a mobile; it’s like a small jeep.”

Breakin’ the rules
Jackson: Mommy, you should touch Tippy [our Christmas Elf].
Me:  No, we’re not supposed to touch him; I’m going to follow the rules.
Jackson:  Well, I don’t follow rules.
(Side note… Jackson stayed true to his word, and Tippy indeed did end up in the elf hospital for a day to recover after being touched and losing his magic.)

Changin’ it up
When I asked Jackson to think about maybe the one or two most favorite things he wanted to ask Santa for Christmas, with only minor hesitation, he replied “Cars Christmas cereal and a car carrier truck.”  When I suggested he might want to think of something a little bigger than the cereal, he did change his mind to a Cars bicycle.  Shortly later, the bike was switched for a skateboard.  I helped talk him out of the skateboard, and back into the bike though :)

some other ones….

school snarky
Me:  Jackson, what’s your favorite part of school?
Jackson:  When Grammy picks me up!

dinner critique
Jackson:  I don’t like this chicken.
Me:  Why not?
Jackson:  It doesn’t have any flavor.

Jokester
Jackson is all about telling jokes and laughing it up, so we have lots of knock-knock rounds, and the likes… here are a couple recent funnies.

Jackson:  Knock, knock
Me:  Who’s there?
Jackson:  Nobody’s home. …….. HAHAHAHAHA!!

Jackson:  Where do cows go on a first date? ……… to the moooooovies!
