Brae-isms

Brae is a complete chatterbox.  In fact, at our recent family vacation (pictured above with Sienna and their cousin), he attracted the new nickname "Comma."  (because there are no periods when he talks).  With that, here's the latest edition of Brae-isms:

1) Brae: "Mommy, will you marry me?"
    Me: "Aww, I love you, son, but I can't marry you.  I'm married to Daddy."
    (Wheels turning)
    Brae: "If I were taller, would you marry me?"

2) I was upstairs in the laundry room getting ready to take Brae to the park.  He'd just peed his pants (which he often does if he hasn't gone for a while, and starts playing really hard).  He was taking off his wet pants, putting them in the washing machine, and putting on a new pair.  As he was doing this, I thought, "It's really hot outside.  I should probably change out of my jeans."  So, I pulled a pair of my shorts out of the dryer (yes, clean clothes often stay in our dryer for days, and sometimes require re-drying to get the wrinkles out).  As I was taking off my jeans, and putting on my shorts, Brae looked at me, wide-eyed, and said, "Mommy, did you pee your pants, too?"

3) Brae has learned the word "stupid."  I think from the older kids at school.  I scold him whenever he says it, and sometimes he has to go to time out if he doesn't stop saying it.  The other day, I caught him singing, "Stupid, you so stupid, stupid, alalalallaaaaaa, you are s-t-u-p-i-ddddddddd!"  "Brae!" I said.  He turned to look at me, in bewilderment.  "Brae, I've told you we don't say that word.  It's not nice."  "But Mooommmmmyyyy," he began, "I'm just singing my song."

4) I was hosting my friend's baby shower.  She and I were outside by the front door just chatting, watching some of the kids play in the front yard.  Sienna was sitting on the front stoop.  Suddenly, I turn to see Brae standing at the open front door, above Sienna.  And before I could even catch my wits about me, he had dropped his trousers to his ankles and was peeing right over Sienna's head.  It was like the McDonald's golden arc right over my daughter's head.  I thought my friend may have gone into labor right then and there, she was laughing so hard.
