Lindsay Learning Life's Lessons

So Lindsay is driving to seminary and Ben says, the car is driving weird..... But being the great driver that she is Lindsay makes it to seminary safe and sound and on time at 5:45. When they leave seminary and pile in to drive to school Ben notices that the tire looks like a "rat chewed on it". After driving almost all the way to school, the car starts to drive really weird, and Lindsay starts to pray that they can make it. They get thru the last light and turn the corner by the school when the tire "blows up!" Lindsay calmly directs the car to the curb and stops. The blown up tire looks awful. Lindsay is shaking, but glad they are safe at school. When she gets out of school she calls me to say "I don't think the car will be going anywhere today, can you pick me up?" Mom gets a summary of the crazy morning commute. She promptly calls dad who happens to be out of town, and then heads over to get Lindsay.
Meanwhile, back at the curb, a nice young knight in shining armour rides up on his white horse. He assessed the damage, and they take the suburban apart looking for a spare tire. When mom shows up he had the jack working and everything is under control, so mom leaves. Lindsay, the damsel in distress, helps and watches as Brandon changes the tire. Lindsay arrives home a bit later, in the subarban, safe and sound with one heck of a journal entry. Our faith in chivalry is restored and we know a bit more about tires like; what it feels like to drive on one, how that is different from driving rat chewed ones, that they need changing when dads are gone, that they can actually really blow up !,

how to find the spare one, and how to change one!!!

Quotables

Josh- I'm allergic to lions and fire.

Josh to Stephanie- no you don't love me, love is like a kiss and we don't kiss DOOO we?!

Josh to Lindsay after she put sunscreen on him- I look like a delicious man!

Josh- Upon being reprimanded, "I know, I know....it's okay!"

Sadie (now a CTR in Primary) following a discussion of choosing the right when playing with the neighbor instead of drawing on the door or taking off the doornob. " I always choose the right, but Maya chooses the left."

Sadie-" I have been trying to teach Josh to be nice, but it isnt working!

Josh- "nope, you're wrong mom." and "You're wrong again mom."

Josh has been saying a lot lately, "You're crazy!" (He is so perceptive).

Josh: "Hi folks!" (usually said right before he settles down to go to sleep).

Sadie: " I just love the smell of the fresh air out of the gate."

Josh: "Just Kidding!"

After tasting the soup at dinner tonight Sadie said, "Yum, I could eat a whole rabbit!"

When we refer to Josh as a baby he says, "I not baby I Josh!" this week he has added his last name. "I JOSH SQUASH!"

Josh has been calling Sadie, "Sade-Jade" all week. Yesterday she came in crying, "Josh won't call me Sadie."

The flu hit our family hard this weekend and at one point everyone was laying around half dead watching PBS Kids when Sadie announced, "I am twelve feet tall!"

Sunday was our Primary Program so Josh was a little lonely on the bench during sacrament. At one point he took two pretzles and stood them up and started playing with them, (to the other pretzel) "I dad." reply "I Josh Squash I take a bath." Dad says, "No, time to go church." Ben and Steph were cracking up!
