Gage-isms

Gage says the funniest things. So I decided to write them down and share them.

1) I am Jewish and Jim is Catholic. We have always explained to our children that they are half of both since that is where they come from. Last week my mother gave Gage a kipah (the beanie that Jews wear on their heads). He loves it and wears it around the house. Last night he said, "Mom and Dad, I can wear the kipah on half of my head since that is the Jewish half."

2) Gage gets very enthusiastic when he plays baseball. He was up to bat and he yelled, "Bring it on!" The pitch ended up hitting him. He shook it off and then yelled even louder, "OK. You're going DOWN!" The pitch hit him again. Hard. He cried and limped off the field. What are the odds? And I couldn't help but laugh.

3) When Gage lost his last tooth, he was distraught because out dog, LuLu, ate the tooth before he could make the exchange with the tooth fairy. But when he woke the next morning to find $2 under his pillow, he said as he shrugged his shoulders, "Well, the tooth fairy must have looked inside my mouth and saw the gap and figured she should leave some money, just in case." His dreams will one day be shattered.
