The Wisdom of Alexander

I am fortunate enough to be mother to an awesome little boy. Ever since he was a baby he has showed an interesting level of humor. He used to stand in his crib, babble on and on, and then slap his leg while laughing, as if he had just told me the funniest story. I thought it was hilarious but I never really thought he knew what he was doing.

Then he grew up and I realized that yes, he did know what he was doing. He is one of the funniest kids I know and he gets adult humor - meaning that he finds funny the things other adults find funny, and he knows WHY it's funny.

And like every other kid, he says the darndest things. We started calling them Xanderisms. I don't know when we started keeping track of them because I have written them on post-it notes or anything else I could write on, but I did start writing them in a word document about a year and a half ago.

I have about 30 Xanderisms. I'm not sure how to get caught up with posting them. Maybe I'll just start posting a few at a time, as I know that there will be many more soon to come.
