From the Mouths of the Twins

Will and Anna come up with some pretty funny things. I'm sure a lot of them are "you-had-to-be-there" moments that other people won't think are funny, but I wanted to document some anyway.

On discussing where we live:
Anna: We live in Houston, Texas! Houston is the city, and Texas is the apartment building.

On drinking milk:
Anna: Mom, is milk good for our bodies?
Mom: Yes, it has calcium that is good for our bones.
Anna: Oh yeah! My bones were coming out of my body, but now I drinked some milk, and my bones aren't coming out of my body anymore!

Practicing his Primary talk while dressed as a pirate:
Mom: The Book of Mormon. . .
Will: The Book of Mormon, arg!!! . . .
Mom: . . . teaches us about Jesus Christ.
Will: . . . teaches us about Jesus Christ, arg!!!
Etc. (This carried on through his whole talk. Luckily, he didn't add the "pirate-speak" when he actually gave his talk a few days later.)

At a friend's house:
Will: Where did you get this [train table]?
Friend's Mom: The kids' grandparents gave it to them.
Will: That was so kind! Did you write a thank you note?

On looking at baby pictures:
Anna: Will, is that baby you or baby me?
Will: That is baby me.
Anna: With that tube up your nose? [Will had a feeding tube up his nose for his first few days in the NICU.]
Will: Yeah, I had that tube up my nose.
Anna: (inspecting Will's face) Is it still there?

After playing dress-up:
Anna: Will, is this blue ring what you gave me when we got married?
Will: Yes. Mom, I gave Anna that ring when we got married.
Mom: You and Anna are married?
Will: No, we got married when we were grown ups.

And finally, my recent favorite quote that comes not from the twins, but from the source of their sense of humor:

Allyson: You said it in an obligatory way.
Larkin: I don't know what "obligatory" means, so I promise I didn't say it in that way.

We love our silly family!
