I know I haven't done one of these for Reed in a very long time but I've still been keeping track when he throws a zinger out there and have collected enough it's time to share!
Last year leading up to Grandpa's Birthday Reed told me "this is a very special Birthday for him." When I asked why he informed me "because he's so old."
Kieran came crying to me that Reed had called him a party pooper. I told Reed that those aren't kind words to which he responded that "Kieran had said he was going to poop on my head and I thought that's what a party pooper does!"
K was really upset that Reed had tattled on him to which Reed replied "I'm not here to be your best friend, I'm here to be your brother."
On the drive to school one morning it was super sunny, yet sprinkling, and on top of that we spotted a rainbow. Reed said "I'm glad I'm not the weather helper (at school) today, I have no idea what the answer would be!"
Reed - "Does anyone even live in that house anymore?"
Me - "Yes, they do, why do you ask?"
Reed - "Because they haven't changed their flags since New Years and that means they've missed a lot of holidays." - This is at Easter
Reed sneezed a couple times in a row, took a deep breath, and then asked "can sneezes ever feel good?"
Reed has always said he doesn't want to move away for college. He learned that when I had been in college I had lived with my friends Clint and Mason (who he knows and loves). He quickly said "wait, you get to live in a house by yourself with your friends when you are in college?" Needless to say he wants to move away for college now.
I found Reed in his room building some sort of lego/hotwheel/superhero contraption when I asked what he was building he quickly retorted "more than you think I am!"
After attending a couple of Christmas events (all in the evening) Reed commented on a drive home "I bet Santa is nocturnal - all the events we see him at are at night."
Reed was trying to figure out where countries/continents were and asked what's below the D-quator again? (instead of the Equator)
When Reed was suffering from the horrible stomach bug this spring he was in the bathroom after a particularly bad vomit session. Once he got done throwing up he looked up at me and said "I don't think I'm going to make it, I'm trying my hardest to live but I just don't know."
