A library book that Ryan had borrowed was due on Saturday. Since he
liked that book very much, I suggested that he renew it for another 4 weeks.
He
said, "How do you renew it? it is already OLD!"

The month after Sept 11, 2001, the US flag was everywhere and there were
a lot of Red, White and Blue decoration everywhere too. Ryan learned about the
flag in his class, so whenever he saw an US flag on the street, he will point
and say, "American flag". Then one day he told me, "Mom, there
is an American gas station",
I looked and found a Chevron gas station. Then, another day, he told me, "Mom,
there is an American soda", I looked and saw a Pepsi truck!

I was bathing the kids when I saw my first grey hair in the mirror, I cried
so loudly
that Raymond thought I drown the kids. And the following is the exchange
between me and Ryan after that:
Ryan: "What happened, Mom?"
Me: "I found a gray hair."
Ryan: "What does that mean?"
Me: "That mean I am getting old"
Ryan: "Oh! Poor Daddy."
Me: "What do you mean by that?"
Ryan: "If you are old, you are going to die, then Daddy has to do all the
things in the house. Poor Daddy!"

Ryan: "Daddy, how old is your blue car?"
Daddy: "8 years old."
Ryan: "How about the minivan?"
Daddy: "About 3 years old."
Ryan: (wide eyes) "Really, but the minivan is so much bigger than your
blue car!"

Ryan threw up at school one day due to car sick, and he told the
teacher that he need to go home, so after I pick him up and take him home,
I don't allow him to play and have him stay in his bed for the rest of
the day. This is what he sing in the car (he make up songs all the
time) the next day on the way to school:
"Pretend I'm sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
I don't know why! Why! Why! Why!
Should I play? No! No! No!
Should I sleep? Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!"

Adrian is potty training. We took away his diaper and ask him to tell us
when he need to go potty. That day, he pee in his pant, so I changed
his pant for him and ask him to tell me when he need to go again. About 30
minutes later, I asked him if he need to go, he look at me and said
"I did", and then he pointed to his pant, which was different from
what
I put on him 30 minutes before, and said proudly, "I changed the pant
myself".

We asked for a booster seat for Adrian last week when we went to lunch. The
restaurant kept the booster seats in a stack under the window, and that morning
the sun was coming in that window. When Adrian sat on the booster, he said:
"Mom, why did they put the booster in the oven, it is warm!"

The other day when I was driving,
Ryan: "Mom, do you know back-seat driver is bad?"
Me: "Yah, it is bad. Where did you learn about back-seat driver?"
Ryan: "On Cartoon channel. And do you know why it is bad?"
Me: "What do you think?"
Ryan: "Because when they are seating at the back, they can't see the
road really well, that's dangerous!!"

Ryan's tigger cub (boy scout) went to a pizza restaurant for a tour and
he made a mini himself. He can't finish the pizza and he asked me if I
want some, I told him I am on diet and don't want the pizza.
Ryan: "What is on diet?"
Me: "That is, I think I am too fat and want to be thinner and I do that
by eating less."
Ryan: "Well you don't have to do that, you just burp and you will be
thinner."
Me (laughing really hard): "Really?"
Ryan (really serious): "No, is real, you just have to burp and you will
be thinner."
Since then, every time I burp, Ryan will say: "Mom, you are a little
thinner now."

Raymond and I were talking one day and somehow we said something about
Victoria's Secret. We were not aware that Ryan was listening, he said,
"Victoria (one of Adrian's friends) has a secret? I have a secret too,
mine is called 'Ryan's Secret!' "
