Seth-isms

As some of you may know, our youngest son, Seth, is a HUGE fan of Michael Jackson... much to our dismay. Not because Michael is a bad guy or anything (we don't really think he is), but Seth sings Billie Jean, Beat It, or Thriller... EVERY DAY!!! Countless times a day... for real. So, this evening, he asked me if I could take him to the library so he could check out an MJ cd... I said, "No way, bud... I'm trying to wean you off of that dude! Let's go listen to some Israel Houghton or Lincoln Brewster!!!!" A few minutes later, he came back to the subject... and his response to me was classic Seth, lol!

Seth: "Dad... I don't know why you're trying to 'get me off of' Michael Jackson... it'll never happen!"

Then, later he said:

"I have one word for you, Daddy: I'm thinking you don't like Michael Jackson because he's not black anymore... he's white!!"

That one had me rolling.

5 years old... what a guy. :-)

Mr. Five!!

Seth turned FIVE today... and he doesn't want us to forget it. He has declared this "Seth's Day." :-) His favorite gift is what he's been asking for since Christmas: web fluid for his Spiderman Web Blaster (he loves Spidey).

Of course, his "Seth-isms" continue... here's one from last night, right before I prayed with him at bedtime:

Seth: "Daddy... will Jesus be mad if I shoot Him with my webs?"
Me: "Haha... I don't think so, buddy. Jesus loves kids... He'll probably shoot you back!"
Seth: "But... He's God, Daddy! If He shoots me back, will it hurt???"

Seth-isms

My 4-year old, Seth, and I have quite the conversation sometimes. :-) Young children are extremely inquisitive, and he's by no means different! I love my little guy. I try to include at least monthly one of our little sound bytes... here's one from just a few minutes ago:

Seth: "Daddy... why does the wind and sea obey Jesus?"

Me: "Because Jesus has all power, son... He made the wind and the seas."

(I think that was a good answer, don't you?? Think again...)

Seth: "Daddy... Jesus has all power?"

Me: "Yes, Seth, He does."

Seth: "Does Jesus have web power, Daddy?"

Another SETH-ism!

Seth: "Daddy, can we go to church today?"
Me: "Today is Thursday, Son. Why do you want to go to church today?"
Seth: "Because I forgot to turn Super Sans 4 on Mr. Justin!!"

(For those who don't know, super sans has something to do with the cartoon DragonballZ... what, I don't know... and Justin runs our media at Mosaic. Sundays after church, they fight DragonballZ style)

Me: (laugh) No, son... we can't go to church today."
Seth: "Rapid fire SUPER donut! SUPER BOLO ATTACK!!!!!!"

Then he delivered a crushing blow to my kneecap.

Thanks, Justin.

SETH-isms

This is Seth.
He's four years old.
And he's a riot... has me cracking up all the time. :-)
This was a little conversation we had when I got home this evening:

Seth: "Daddy, why do you wanna be a preacher?"
Me: "Because I love to tell people about Jesus... and I love seeing Jesus change peoples' lives."
Seth: "I don't get it. And what's so funny, Dad???"

And another:

Me: "Seth, can you hand me that roll of paper towels?"
Seth: "I don't see no paper towels!"
(of course, his grammar gets hijacked all the time by his older brothers)
Me: "They're right there in front of you!"
Seth: "Well, I don't see 'em... I just see some big toilet paper!"
