Andrewisms

Andrew: The North Carolina Tarheels are my favorite team.

Me: Yes, mine too. But we can also cheer for the Texas A&M Aggies...gig 'em Aggies!

A: Mom, what's an Aggie? Is it a type of animal?

Me: No, it is a made up word, just like Tarheel is a made up word.

A: No, a Tarheel is an animal. See (points to the picture of Ramses on my shirt), a Tarheel is kind of like a goat. It has horns, so it is an animal. Go Tarheels.

I think my Godfather, Ben, will be proud, but I hope that when Andrew learns "G" in school and his teacher holds up a picture of a goat, he doesn't announce, "That's wrong. That Tarheel starts with a T, not a G."

We took a walk the other evening as a whole family. Derrick bent down to tie his shoe and his hat fell off. Andrew said, "Mommy, when Daddy takes off his hat, I can see his brain."
