Life as a Preschooler

Every so often Brody will share little bits of information from school. He is pretty tight lipped the rest of the time (about school) so I really enjoy when he will open up. Most of the time he ends up telling on himself. Here is some funny things he has said here lately.

*When they get in trouble at school they have to pay money to the teacher and usually once a month or so whatever money you have left you get to pay to get something out of the treasure chest. The first half of school he never had to pay in money, but here lately it is a couple of times a week that he ends up paying money. The teacher never tells us but he does (I love my honest boy). He gets in trouble for the silliest things. One day he announced that his friend Gage had tooted and that cost him a buck. Another time they were singing a song on the rug and he decided to fall down being goofy and fell on his friends. Oops. And then I guess all the boys get a big kick out of marking on the other persons paper so that they get in trouble by the teacher. Silly boys!
*He said that when the boys use a brown marker or crayon that they call that poo poo color and when they use a yellow marker or crayon that they call it pee pee color.
*He also got in trouble one day during Connections (where they get to pick what station they go to) because he was pretending to be a mean dog.
*He is always very excited when they get to play on the playground and everytime I ask what he played on the playground it was either me and the other guys were monsters and we were chasing the girls around or we were the pirates chasing the girls around. I ask if the girls like it when they do this and he says No! They just run and scream. He says his teacher never says anything so it must be ok!

He also is very interested in heaving and dying again. He asks lots of questions and I try my best to find an appropriate answer. Things he has said about that lately are:
*First thing in the morning. "Maybe when you die I can just have this house and live in it. " And then he says, "Maybe I will just sell it instead."
*He asked if there was anywhere else we could go instead of going to heaven. I told him hell and explained what an awful place it would be. He now likes to randomly tell people that hell is where the devil lives and if you go there it will be fire and you will burn.
*He asked if I will die when I am 60. If our house will be in heaven.
*After he got in trouble at school one day I told him we needed to read books about being nice to people for naptime. He said he only wanted to read books about mean people and about how people die. I told him I didn't understand and he said that he doesn't know how people die and he wants to know how it happens and how Jesus comes and gets them and takes them to heaven!

I sure hope all of these questions are normal. I know he must have so much going through his head and so many things are hard to understand. I never know what is going to come out of his mouth next. He keeps it fun for sure!!!
