Brigham Bradbury: "I'm a Train-ivore!"
Mommy Michelle: "So I can give you pretzels or raisins. Which would you like?"
A listful Brigham Bradbury: ">sigh< ... only cookies."
Mackay Moo: "Bah-bye"
Mommy Michelle: "bah-bye" (not said loudly enough or at all)
Mackay Moo: "BAH-BYE!!!"
Mackay: "Shy-ohh" meaning Shiloh, the Bagley boys golden retriever.
Brigham: "I got a piece of cake!" Said matter of factly when returning from the serving line after Grandma Hill's funeral. He didn't have a plate, or the good sense to hide the theft from his mother though he did have a huge piece of cake in his hand and on his face.
Brigham: "Mommy, you go on the stage with me?"
Mommy Michelle: "No I don't want to go on the stage honey."
Brigham: "Just try it."
While landing on the redeye coming into Salt Lake City last week I had to wake Brig up to put on his seat belt. He wailed for the last 15 minutes of the flight - like the wailing lobsters in pots do or criminals in electrified chairs. It was painful for all involved. I tried everything--talking, bribes, threats, promises, songs, books, lights...everything all to no avail because he was screaming. We landed, he continued. We taxied, he continued. And as we pulled into the row of planes for parking he noticed the luggage truck and its two trailers in tow. He stood up on his chair and in a very loud megaphone voice he burst out to the enjoyment of the entire cabin of passengers:
"Oh MY HEAVENS!! A TRAIN!!!"
He was pretty good after that.
