Over a year ago, we started this blog to capture Noah's funny anecdotes in order to rub them in his face later on in life. We've decided to move the blog to Tumblr due to it's capacity to be more user friendly and frankly just way more awesome than BlogSpot. All NoahEthanisms will now be under The |A| Team.
Follow. Share. Laugh with us.

Mommy, the Janitor
From Wednesday Night:
N: "Mommy, whats a Janitor?"
M: "It's someone who cleans things up and maintains buildings. Like schools or offices. Why?"
N: "B* peed the carpet today at school and the Janitor came in and had to clean the carpet. We couldn't play on the rug anymore. So if Janitors clean stuff, are you a janitor? You clean all the time."

World Affairs According to Noah
Noah spent a couple hours with his grandfather today and it made for interesting conversation during snack time.
*Update: Check out the identical bomb dropping reenactment below.
Noah: "Mommy, this is my tank for the government of Olivia."
Me: "What are you talking about Noah?
Noah: "The government is turning bad, so they're fighting. This is my tank."
Me: "Oh, you mean Libya? Were you watching the news with Pop-pop?"
Noah: "No, it's Olivia. And we watched the news. A lot. Bombs are falling from planes. Lego tank to the rescue."
Noah: "This ones the plane, OK?"
Me: "OK. So, those are your tanks?"
Noah: "Yep. This is how the bomb works. *sound effects* Explode."

Noah: "Daddy, what song is this?"
Me: "It's called - 5 Year Winter by ZAO"
Noah: "Why does he sound like a monster?"
Me: "That is just the way he sings."
Noah's friend: "He does sound like a monster!"
Noah: "Daddy, is he a mad monster?"
Me: "No, he is not"

DC Assholes & Zombies
Two gems for the day.
1) Earlier this evening while on our way into the city, Noah fell today on a non-working escalator (go figure) and red-line commuters practically stampeded him because they OBVIOUSLY had someplace important to be and couldn't stop for a pesky 4-year-old.
Hours later, our convo went like this:
N: "Mommy, my leg still hurts. Why did someone step on me?
Me: "It was an accident."
N: "I would have helped someone if they fell."
Me: "I know sweetie. That's because you have better manners than most adults."
N: "I don't want to be an adult. They're rude."
2.) Then on the way home, he made a lovely observation:
"There are so many cracks in the ground! That means zombies are trying to get to us! Hurrrrry, run to the car!!!!!!"

Noah's Smarter Than a Librarian....
I love the HCLS (Howard County Library System) for many reasons. They always have amazing, free programs for kids that (usually) teach them about exciting, new places and cultures and are always pretty fun. Each week, we've gone around the world and the kids are transported to a new country. A couple weeks ago, it was France, next week - China and this week was Kenya.
Too bad the librarian this week was geographically challenged and Noah called her out. She had Ethiopian currency, not Kenyan and said "same difference." Then, she pointed to South America instead of Africa. Common mistake? Once she landed on the right continent, she pointed to Nigeria, Tanzania and then finally, Noah helped her out and said:
"Kenya is right next to Somalia. See the horn?!?! My mommy's friend walked from Kenya to Somalia once. She went to help save people from bad guys."
(She actually flew, but same difference right?) I really wish I had gotten that on video, it would have been priceless. All the mommie's in the room were dying laughing.
Lesson to be learned: You don't have to be an expert in everything, but my word, do a little research prep before you teach a class. Because you may not be able to get over on little kids. They're smart.
The kids ended by counting to ten and singing greetings in Swahili. Such a big personality....
