A Sunday Giggle

If you know me well, you know how I dread Sundays. I sit and wrestle three little kids all through Sacrament. And now, with 9 am church, I get the kids ready alone. Aiden and Grayson have been in rare form with their fighting lately. They were going at it this morning as I'm yelling at them to get ready for church. So I, of course, told them they needed to speak nicely to each other. I said, "Each of you need to say something nice to the other person right now."
Aiden: I'm sorry, Grayson.
Me: No, I mean say something nice about him; something you like.
Aiden: I like your style, Grayson.
Grayson: I like your Bakugans, Aiden.

I had to laugh. Not exactly what I was going for, but I guess I'll take it. It gave me a laugh and lightened the mood for all of fifteen minutes. Then it was back to the grind.

I like your style! I love that. And those dang Bakugans. I had one of my 8 year old students I tutor try to teach me how to say that word. I'd finally get it right, then 5 minutes later forget how to pronounce it. I guess you have to be under 10 to know. I've sat here for the last couple of minutes sounding it out in my head.

I like Graysons style and Aidens Bakugans as well.

But the bakugans are so personal, don't you think!

I have no idea what Bakugans are, but its hilarious that Aiden said "I like your style". If Grayson would have said "I like your moves" it would have been the exact conversation from "Starsky and Hutch"
