Eamon-isms

E has always been chockful of one-liners, and lately he has been coming out with some zingers. They always give me a good laugh and then I can't remember them by the end of the day. So as to not inundate my FB page with the funny things my kids say (because, let's face it, that gets old fast!), I'll try to put 'em down here with context.

Up the Wall

Me (exasperated, as always): Eamon, you are driving me up the wall!

Eamon (Looking confused and concerned): Where?

Me: Up the wall!

Eamon: But I don't want you to go up there! I'll miss you!

All Football, All the Time

Eamon (going through his calendar and all of the holidays, one of his favorite activities): Mommy, what's on November first?

Me: All Saints Day.

Eamon: All Saints Day? But I don't really like the Saints...they lose sometimes. What about All Giants day--what day is that?

Giants Rule

Eamon: Gazing wide-eyed and open-mouthed at our local laundromat, which has a big Giants flag in the window: "Oh my goodness, I can't believe it. Look, the laundry place is a Giants fan, too!"

Eamon--or Rainman?

(Said while sitting down to eat at Sam's school fair, which kinda sorta doubled as Jack's birthday party)

Diz: You should give Jack some cotton candy first, it's his birthday party.

Eamon: But it's not Jack's party. It's Sam's party for his school...Jack's birthday is on March 17th and today is March fifth. {ooo-kay, Mr. Literal! I told you the kid is calendar obsessed!}
