Funny talk

Jackson is constantly giving us little clues to how his mind is processing life.  He is SO verbal, we really enjoy being able to know just what he is thinking.  It is easy to forget he is only 2 1/2.

Here are some recent conversations.

Me: (after finishing the "I love to see the temple song".)  Did you know that our family is forever because Daddy and I were sealed in the temple?
Jackson:  But Mom, I'm not forever yet, because I'm not married in the temple.
Me:  You are sealed to us!
Jackson:  I want to marry Savanna (a friend)
Me:  She might be a little young
Jackson:  (looking around the living room- see pic below) I want to marry Jimmer!
Me:  Boys have to marry girls.
Jackson: (a bit frustrated):  I want Jimmer to marry . . . Everyone is already married!!
Me:  How about Aunt Melinda?
Jackson: Yeah, I want Jimmer to marry Melinda in the Temple.  Melinda Fredette!

(This is the wall in my parents living room)

(While playing basketball with Dad)

"Dad, you be Jackson (This is said often, no surprises here)   . . . and I'll be JIMMER!  No, you be Abu-o "

Jackson:  Guess what?  Guess WHAT?  GUESS what?  GUESS WHAT MOM!!!
Me (a little distracted)  What?
Jackson: Chicken Butt

Random lines from movies we didn't realize he was learning (Can you guess the movie?)
"Mom . . . . THE MONKEY'S AREN'T WORKING!"
"How low can you go?"
Way to go, Idaho!
Come on, Vamanos . . . Where are we going?
"To Infinity  . . . anbeyon"

One night as he kisses me, he tries and open mouth kiss.  I ask why.
Jackson replies. "That's what that guy did  . . . on the movie . . ."  (He'd seen Aladdin the night before)
