Graham is at the age where he is very curious about life. These are the comments he made in a 2 hour trip to Ellijay.
Where’s my apple? 5x, Where’s Grandpas truck? Where’s the river mommy? Where is Samson and Delilah? I can’t see something mommy. Where’s my choo-choo trains? Where is my Big Mack truck mommy? Where’s the Wiggles at? Where’s Grandma’s house mommy? Where’s Dawson’s apple mommy? What’s that way mommy? Mommy, my belly hurts. That’s a dump truck–what’s that? Go Pee-Pee–where’s my apple, Where’s mommy’s apple? I need to go poo-pee! I need to go pee-pee. I want to go pee-pee in the parking lot. I want to go pee-pee at Grandma’s house. Where’s mommy daddy? I want to ride on that crane mommy. 3x—-I want to ride it now! I want to go over there. Mommy what doing? NO Grandma’s house is THAT way! Grandma’s house is NOT that way! Mama what doing? Where did Grandma’s house go mommy? Mommy what doing? Mommy where’s the crane? Where is Diane and Curt, Grandpa, Grandma, and Tamar (cat)? Where’s Grandma? Where’s the river house? 2x That way? Where? Where’s home mommy? I see a choo-choo train mommy! I can’t see Grandma’s house yet mommy! Where did the bathroom go mommy? Where’s the potty? Counting begins 1-17—-break—-1-22. Mommy what doing? I want to go to Grandma’s house in the mountains
. It’s an airport mommy. Mommy where is Dawson’s name? That’s Barney. I want Barney and the trucks. I don’t want to see mountains anymore. I want to go to Grandma’s house mommy. I see black mountains mommy. Mommy it’s night night time. Where’s the sunset go mommy? Mommy what doing? I finished my drink mommy. There’s a big stick right there? When are we going to the pool? Where are Curt & Diane? I want to ride on Curt’s tractor. Oh No the pool is that way! I want to go to the apple house. I want to go to the park with Grandma and Grandpa mommy. Can’t go in the river mommy! Finally we arrive.
Really??? Please tell me you don’t actually remember “everything” he said – LOL!! Just an FYI – it doesn’t stop as they get older! During our drive to my dad’s for Thanksgiving (and the way home) I’m almost positive that Jacob talked nonstop, by himself – changing topics many times for at least 10 minutes before we finally had to lovingly ask him to please stop talking. This doesn’t include the “converstations” he has with us. He talks out loud to himself in the shower, in bed and even while driving his 4 wheeler. He’s so funny! (by the way, you know who our boys take after, don’t you? LOL)

I seem to remember being about 12 years old and having a 3 year old brother…and anytime we traveled anywhere..no one in the car could ever get any rest….why? Cause my 3 year old brother would not shut up…..yes, his name was JODY…..

Sounds like you need a DVD player in car! Oh, the silence we enjoy when we are traveling. Stick on the earphones and off we go! Of course, Willow does get tired of this and we have to hear story after story about friends. (Real and imaginary.)
By the way, we were listening to the Purpose of Christmas CD and when Rick Warren spoke Willow said, “That’s Graham Shelton’s daddy.” Apparently you sound like Rick Warren to Willow.

Wow! That is great! Wait until your conversations go like this.. stop looking at me, Mom he’s kooking at me, I said stop looking at me, I am going to tell mom. ~ I’m not looking at you, so tell mom if you want. ~ Don’t talk to me, mom he talking to me tell him to quit, I don’t want him looking at me. Dad he just touched me and he is doing it on purpose I know he is. Tell him to stop it. Don’t touch me. And don’t keep looking at me either. ~ Mom I am not touching him and he is the one who keeps looking at me and won’t hush up and I am about to touch him!
~ Both of you sit on your hands, look out your own windows, and don’t say another word PERIOD!!!!!!!!!
Oh won’t that be fun!!!!!
I agree with Earl. That was the best thing we ever did. Just a little thing from Target!!!

Hey, it sounds like you are busy with the joys of boys. We have Garrett(4) and Jordan (2). Brother and sister in the car is crazy and we go to Oklahoma almost every month. They ask crazy questions that I don’t even know the answers to. Like Garrett seeing an electric plant that makes electricity for all of Oklahoma wants to know who sends them electricity??? What?? Thank goodness Carter usually knows!! I enjoyed seeing your boys and glad to hear you all are doing well. Saw your sister and had been thinking about you guys. Reminded me of a lot of good times our families had together.
