Quotable Jackson

Whole family in the car . . .


Jackson: I LOVE cats. I think we should get a cat.


Me: We can't get a cat, because I'm allergic to them. Maybe you can visit someone else's cat.


LONG pause . . .


Jackson: I think we should get a cat AND a new mommy.


Me: Really? What are you looking for in a new mommy besides not allergic to cats?


Jackson: She'll be green.


Me: Oh, ok. Anything else?


Jackson: She'll wear perfume.


HILARIOUS! I can't make this up. This is who Jonathan thinks should be cat-friendly, GREEN, good-smelling Mommy 2.0

This afternoon, Jackson was pretending to be a squirrel. A little odd choice in animal, but I personally think that squirrels are pretty funny vermin.


Me: Jackson, what do you eat when you are a squirrel?


Jackson: Nuts


Me: What kind of nuts? (Thinking peanuts, walnuts, round nuts, brown nuts)


Jackson: Chicken Nuts

Jackson: We need another pet. Right now we have JUST a dog.


(Pause)


I want a squirrel.
