Russell's Summer Tales



Russell has been phobic about tornadoes since one touched down in a nearby town in March. He is often nervous about going outside. For example, he'll refuse to go to the pool then he'll reveal his hidden reason by asking if it might be an indoor pool. One Wed., he was afraid it was going to rain and my sister reported their ensuing conversation to me.
Russell: Well if there is a tornado, we could call the police.
Aunt Liz: What would the police do?
Russell: They would put the tornado in jail!

Russell (age 4) "Why does Hulk not like wearing a shirt? ... I do not like seeing his belly!"

July 2010 arriving at the Spears YMCA, Russell said, "OOhhh it's too hot out! They should change the weather tomorrow!"
Jen: "Who should?"
Russell: "The weather people!"

Mom, I REALLY want one of those rocket-powered skateboards!

This airplane can go anywhere it wants to go: NObraska, Bibleman, Chicago, Hannah Montana, California.
