"Ethan says the darndest things!"

Well, it didn't take long to have a couple of new "remarks" from the mouth of the Great Ethan. Tonight, Grandma T and I had the swell idea to finish up some christmas shopping! (HA, what were we thinking)!! As we went through each store, the fits got worse and just more ridiculous. One store, we actually had to leave, but went back to try again. Anyways, he was even having some road rage too. The cars were not moving fast enough for his liking, and wanted me to honk at everyone!---I am not a road rage kind of driver, either---must be from Daddy!! Well his Grandma told him we couldn't speed because the cops would get us....and of course this later led to a great remark!! For dinner, we were just going to go through a drive thru and grab some sandwiches...I had mentioned McDonalds..(oops)! So, the store we were going to go to next was beside a Wendy's. Ethan was in the back yelling "I want Mcdonalds", so I told him it was Mcdonalds...thinking he is only 3, he can't read, he will never know! Yeah well, he came back with "then, why is Wendy's picture on the wall"!!! Are you kidding me!!!??? who would have thought!! After a big mix up with the drinks...root beer..sprite..we finally got out of there!! Grandma then sat in the car while I ran in the grocery store really quick. When I came back in, Ethan was all teary-eyed, I asked what happened. Well, he had told his Grandma that she had been bad, he was calling the cops to come and take her away! (remember her comment from earlier)!!! She told him that wasn't very nice, and he was then feeling really bad and crying that he didn't want her to go away! So, that was our evening. No picture, just a passed out 3 year old that couldn't handle the holiday buzz!!

Oh this makes me laugh all over again! What a night! We could barely order form the drive-thru for laughing cause when we pulled up, they said very loudly "WELCOME TO WENDY'S"!! OMG!! I almost lost it!

Just reading that story makes me exhausted, but it IS funny! It's amazing how advertising has an effect even on 3 yr. olds!!
