Don't let this little girls straight A's and reputation of always being the teacher's pet fool you too much....Brooke Turano is known not only in our house for her wacky sense of humor, but among her close friends as well.
There isn't hardly anything as exciting for Brooke as the chance to dress wacky for school. Brooke's ideas of wacky are so wild that I do have to turn down a lot of her requests. For example, Brooke wanted to wear a hanger on her head with curling ribbon hanging off of it, as part of dressing wacky at school day.
Brooke is always pulling jokes around our house...The latest one was a day when Kevin would be going to his office for a few hours and then was headed out of town to MO. When Brooke gave Kevin his good bye hug she pulled a little trick on him! A few hours after Kevin got to work he sent me a picture of what he had been wearing on his back for hours at his office and out running errands. No one said anything to him at his office, but when he went to the gas station someone took it off his back and handed it to him...

My Little Lawyer
How could this little
face, not win the case?
Sometimes I feel like I am the one on the stand
and Will is interrogating me with every known question to man about life
in general, and even at four years old Will's little brain has
considered re-incarnation!
A few days ago Will
said to me, " Mommy, if we are going to resurrect, what if I resurrected
into a baby spiders egg and I came out as a spider? "
He sure knows how to
tug at his Mommy's heart and made a pretty good case the other night
when I was leaving the room, after tucking him in, Will said,
" Mommy, I just don't like it when it's dark because I get really worried that I might have gone blind? Maybe my eyes stopped working? "
" Mommy, I just don't like it when it's dark because I get really worried that I might have gone blind? Maybe my eyes stopped working? "
Of course there are
some cases that just aren't quite as believable as at the dinner table
Will said recently, " Mommy, I can't eat fruits and vegetables because I
am worried that one of the seeds in them will grow in my stomach and I
will get a huge strawberry plant growing inside my body. "
Then there are the comments that just make me want to retreat all together and hit the
gavel down as the judge and say, " I admit it, I am guilty...you have my
heart, as Will turns to me and says, " Mommy, I like how you take care
of me. You take good care of me." And he squeezes me tight as he says
this!
And, the unforgettable
request of late from my little lawyer proved his intelligence, as he
showed me that he knows who the real heroes are...
A few nights ago Will said, " Mommy, Jesus is nice....can I get His costume and be Him for Halloween? "

Our court room is pretty exciting and full of tears and smiles, just like I'd assume most court rooms can be ;)
