Wild Men From Borneo
A nice way to refer to my children is energetic. More accurately would be wild men.
Anytime we are in public and they do not break something, I am amazed. Sometimes though, as if to keep Sarah and me hoping, they behave. A few weeks ago, Sarah took Nathaniel and Michael to the doctor’s office for their 5 and 3 year old check up. Both boys were as cute as could be. They had impressed the doctor, charmed the nurses and left their mother speechless. Sarah related one conversation to me that Nate had with the doctor.
Doctor: "So Nate, do you eat a lot of good food?"
Nate: an enthusiastic, "Oh yes, lots!"
Doctor: "What kid of good foods do you eat?"
Nate: without pause, "Grilled cheese sandwiches."
Doctor: "That's great, how about vegetables? Do you like vegetables?"
Nate: confidently, "Absolutely!!"
Doctor: "What kid of vegetables do you like?"
Nate: turning to Sarah in a horse whisper, "What's a vegetable?"
Sarah: red faced, "Carrots, broccoli, tomatoes"
Nate: turning back to the doctor, "I'll pick carrots."
That's my boy!!!
