Angelisms, Part 11

Angel's been wanting to go tandem biking ever since our honeymoon. Five years later, we finally did it!

......................................................................

Scene: Angel is sitting down with a pen to help Mom and Dad finish writing and sending out their Christmas cards.

Angel: "So, I can just write anything I want to on the inside, right?"

*Mom and Dad look at Angel, trying to judge his intentions.*

Dad: "Uh, no."

{After 5 years, they know that Angel should never be given permission to "just write anything."}

.................................................................

Scene: Preschool time with the little girls, and they are coloring their daily dot-to-dot worksheets. Angel sits down at the table.

Angel: "Hey, did I ever tell you about the time my mom spanked me with a shoe?"

Proceeds to tell about 10 stories of himself being a naughty child and getting spanked for his actions. After each story, the girls excited prompted him to continue to the next one, saying, "And then? And then?"

Scene: Two days after filming our "Talent Competition" video.

Angel: "I finally figured out why I'm so sore! It's because you guys made me do a bunch of push-ups for that video! I was wondering the whole day yesterday..."

{Our initial plan called for him walking on his hands. He's pretty good at walking on his hands, but he couldn't walk on his hands long enough for the video, unfortunately, so we ended up with push-ups, which were much easier to do for a long period of time.}

Scene: I'm working on morning housework while Angel is at market, buying groceries, or so I think, when the phone rings. I answer. It's Angel.

Angel: "Hey...could you bring my wallet downstairs?"
Rachel: "How far did you get before you realized you forgot it?"
Angel: "I had already parked and was walking in to the market..."

{This wouldn't be so funny if it were the first time, but this is the third time since September that Angel has forgotten his wallet while going on errands or going to work.}

...................................................................

Scene: We just woke up.

Angel: "I had a dream last night that someone ate the half of a lemon that's in the fridge and I was so angry!"
Rachel: "Well, that's realistic."

{He really cares about his lemons.}

Scene: On vacation, Sarah is playing 'psychiatrist' and wants to psychoanalyze Angel.

Sarah: "Angel, what is your biggest fear?"
Angel: "Steven Spielberg."
Sarah: "Who's that?"
Angel: "A movie director."
Sarah: "Oh, okay. What else?"
Angel: "Aluminum foil."

 {I think she's found the perfect patient to start her practice with.}
