Will says (does) the darnedest things!

Just random things Will says these days...

Will was talking on the phone to my mom (Gahma) one day. Gramma asked Will what Abby was up to. Will replied back, "My boonie? Huh?" with a shrug. It was funny that he referred to Abby as "boonie".

One night at dinner...
Will- "MOM!"
Me- "Yes Will?"
Will- "Mom," *pause* "Nice grub."
I still have no idea where he got "grub" from since we don't use that word! Its funny nonetheless.

While driving home one day this past weekend Will was making silly sounds with his tongue. I started making the same noises back to him and he thought that was splendid! Our "conversation" went on for close to 10 minutes before I couldn't keep up the speed any more.
Then the next day, he thought he was cool stuff because he made car sounds every time we passed/pulled alongside one.

(Not "word" related, but hilarious!)
Will has a "See-n-Say" toy... its round and has a lever you yank down and it makes animal sounds while saying the name of the critter. Well, he started grabbing the center that spins around to make weird noises with it. What's funny is when he does it sounds more like he's scratching a record! Even better is he'll lean one ear into another toy and stand there "scratching" on his "turn table". I've been trying really hard to get a video of this, but every time I get the camera he tells me, "NO MA!" and runs away. I hope I can get a video of this soon! Its really priceless!!!
This is his special blanket that I will turn into a pillow whenever he outgrows toting it around. :)

BANG!

About two weeks ago right around 3pm, someone tried to break into our house! Will was eating snack in the living room and I was cleaning out the fridge (Abby was begging). When Abby's ears twitched I jokingly asked (in a kinda loud voice) if she was hearing the phone before it rings. It was then the screen door was slammed shut! I ran to the door and didn't see anything. So, went back to what I was doing. Then I saw some guy jump and trip over Will's kiddy pool on the side of the house (he completely moved it and made a loud noise). Upon seeing this I bolted out the front door and started yelling really freaking loud that I'd kick their @$$ if they came back while waving a big wooden spoon in my hand! Adrenaline pumping I was ready to beat someone up and that wooden spoon would've been a deadly weapon. The trespasser can thank the phone for ringing because otherwise I would chase after them. James had called and I informed him what happened. I made the mistake of saying that when I heard the door the first thought was a stray animal (which has happened before, but never that loud). Honestly, it didn't fully hit me what had happened and what could have happened until after I hung up the phone.
The next day I went to the Dededo Precinct to report the attempted break-in. After unloading Will and getting every situated I walk in to be informed of a shift change and basically brushed off. So, I left and returned an hour later. The Officer I spoke with wouldn't make a written report due to the fact I "didn't see a face" and "no harm was done". He then went on to give ME a "verbal counseling" on my rights and what precautions to take. I was informed that unless we have a "NO TRESPASSING" sign posted then IF someone walks on the property and I injure them (protecting my family) that I could be held liable for their damages. Also, I need to have the screen door and/or the regular door locked at all times. And in the event someone "walks" into my house because the door wasn't locked I have to ask the intruder, "What's your business here?" before I can take physical actions. There was more said, but you get the drift of how the system works here. I left the precinct feeling unsatisfied and like they thought I was overreacting. That is one of many reasons I want to move on base!
I had the pool propped against the wall/fence to dry out.
