We'll be here all week

A few stories for those who like to laugh:

We watched The Lion King with Blake the other week.  It sure brought back a number of memories for me.  At the time it came out, it was the best animation out there---we've come a long way since then.  Anyway, a few days after watching it, we were on our regular walk around the neighborhood.  Blake was bringing up the rear, which seems to be his current preferred spot.  So, Michelle and I were chatting and Blake needed our attention to tell us something. 
He says, "Guys! Hey, guys."
We both turned to look at him.  Once he knew he had our attention, he immediately asked us, "Can......you feel the love tonight?"  Kids remember everything. 

As Michelle mentioned, Robert (hers brother) got married last Friday.  It was a fun day, but ran well into the night.  When Blake and Dylan could handle no more, we packed up the kids and headed to the hotel.  
While we drove to the hotel, Blake said seated in his car seat, while scanning the traffic, "Mom, you're a good driver."
Michelle and I both told him that that was a nice thing to say.  He then finishes his thought, "Yeah, you never crash."
Apparently, if you don't crash you are a good driver.  Which I guess is true to some degree. 

And finally my favorite story in some time.......
A quick stage-setter, as mentioned Blake likes music and songs.  The second chipmunk movie has a song by Beyonce called "All the single ladies"  Blake has taken one of it's lines as a very repeatable one. 
Michelle's parents were in town for Rob's wedding.  Before returning them to the airport for their trip back to Ohio, we were just finishing up breakfast, sitting around the table, listening to Blake regale us with his stories.  This time he was telling us about what a good driver he was and that he likes to drive his green truck around all by himself.  He continued, "So, I drove my truck around.....with all the single ladies."
A little curious, Grandpa clarified with, "So, you drove your truck around the town, all by yourself, looking for singles ladies to pick up?"
Blake very slowly, very deliberately said, "Oh!......Yeah! ....... Baby!"
The room erupted in laughter.  It was awesome.  No one has any idea where that line came from.  But based on the reaction he got from saying it, I don't think it'll be going away anytime soon.
