Quotable Roman

I haven’t done these in a LONG time.  I've posted most of these on Facebook, but I want to have them in their memory books so I remember all the fun things Roman said.

Roman – Maybe I have kidney failure like Brodie because I pee all the time.

Me – I don’t think you have kidney failure.

Roman – Why not?

Me – Are you sick all the time?  Do you eat?  Are you losing weight?

Roman – No.  Is Brodie sick all the time?

Me – She feels better now that we give her her medicine.

Roman – Yeah, she ate all her breakfast this morning too because she wants to be big and strong like Grandma Signe’s dogs huh.  (Grandma Signe has a chocolate and a black lab, I don’t think our 10 lb Dachshund will ever be big and strong like them.)

Roman pretending to drive the car, hudson in the passenger seat..Roman says to Hudson:

"We're going to California. It's going to be a long drive, but you will be happy when we get there because we get to see Donovan and Joey."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman told me that the "guys" (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, etc) at Disneyland weren't real because one of their suits was "drifting" and he could see it was just a guy underneath. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One night the boys were supposed to be cleaning up toys for dinner.

Hudson singing - clean up, clean up, buddies, everywhere

Roman singing - clean up, clean up Hudson has to do my share. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spencer drained the water out of the tub.

Spencer - Look it's a whirlpool!

Roman - Dad, whirlpools are like tornadoes under water.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman was tattling because Hudson was pushing the buttons on a book that Roman was trying to read so it was making noise. (It is a Cars2 book that makes car noises)

Roman - Mom, Hudson won't stop pushing buttons so I can't hear the book.

Me - You are reading it yourself there is nothing to hear.

Roman - I can't hear the voices in my head.

Me - You have voices in your head? What do they sound like?

Roman - They are sca-a-a-a-a-arrrry voices. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman's question of the day "what would we need to do to be able to live on another planet?"

 And a follow up question "If there isn't air on the moon, and it doesn't hold you down...can you fall off the moon?  Where do you fall if you fall off the moon?  All the way to another planet?  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman - are there stores that sell rockets?

Me - no, i don't think they have stores, but there are companies that make rockets.

Roman - do they sell them?

Me - yes, but they cost a LOT of money.

Roman - hmm, I'll have to start saving so i can get one when I'm 16.

Mom i know what all the cotton in the sky is from. Its coming off the clouds and falling down.  (It was actually from the cottonwood trees)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 One morning Roman and Hudson were being "kissing monsters." Its not as sweet as it sounds....they lure you in with kissing sounds then try to bite you! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman - mom, what are you doing?

Me - making a jet pack for brother.

Roman - what is that thing you are using?

Me - it's called a hot glue gun.

Roman - is it a REAL gun?

Me - its a real glue gun.

Roman - i thought you didn't like having guns at our house?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One morning I asked Roman what he wanted to do while I was cleaning upstairs...he thought and said "Can I pretend I'm doing my homework? But I don't want to do my workbooks, that's just coloring, can you get me REAL homework." 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman was just watching a commercial on PBS. On it Big Bird went to the moon. 

Roman - You know how I know that's not real mom?

Me - How do you know it's not real?

Roman - Because they aren't wearing space suits. They couldn't breath without space suits. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just became that parent that said " there are starving children that would be happy to have your lunch. We are not throwing it away!"

Romans response, "We can send it to them. But we should send a letter first to say ' what is he allergic to?'"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overheard from the other room

Roman - Hudson that's not a toy.

Hudson - *laughs*

Roman - Hudson I already told you. That is not a toy. If you touch it one more time you are going to be in trouble. Oh, fine, you're in trouble. Your hand is in time out.

a few minutes later...

Roman - Hudson does my hand smell good? Do you want some? Open your hand flat. Open it flat. Open it flat. Open it flat. Hudson do you not understand English?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was about ready to yell in to Roman to get stop playing and get ready for school when I heard him singing. "If you're happy and you know it put on your underwear."
