Ramsey Says - 2022

As Ramsey gets older, he still says things that put us in stitches.  But, we're getting a bit lax on actually writing them down.   That said, here's the captured quotes from 2022!

3/12/22 - After church, we went to Walmart.  Ramsey did NOT want to be there.   I wanted to browse just a little bit.

Ramsey: "C'Mon Mom, EYES ON THE PRIZE!"

3/15/22 - Watching the news, some clips of Biden's speeches were being played (with incoherent verbiage).

Ramsey: "Oh Biden... you've really outdone yourself THIS time!"  (*sigh*)

3/17/22 - St. Patty's Day.  In the midst of trying to take Ramsey's picture...

Ramsey: "Mom, stop begging to take my picture.  It's like YOU'RE the child and I'M the adult!"

4/30/22 - Ramsey had just watched a YouTube game video that really freaked him out.

Ramsey: "Mom, I hate being scared.  My only vulnerability... is my fear!"

5/10/22 - Truck ride to town (Eric, Kara, Ramsey)

Ramsey, gaming in the back seat:  "I wish I had some war games on my Kindle."     

Me: "They're too violent for you right now.  You'll have to wait a few more years."

Ramsey: "But, I can handle blood!"

Me: "Um, after you watched the Sparta video, you couldn't sleep for a week!"

Ramsey: "Ya, but I'm a lot OLDER now!"

Me: "That was a month ago."

5/13/22 - Tucking Ramsey in at Night.

Ramsey: "Mommy, I don't like you when you fart in my room."

Me: "Ramsey, I always love you... when you're good, when you're not-so-good, when you fart..."

Ramsey: "Would you still love me if I kicked you in the nuts?"

You can imagine the rest of that conversation.   ("First of all, we don't say that!!".....)

8/17/22 - Eric had gotten sun-burned and his arms were peeling. 

Eric: "Ramsey, when I'm done molting, do you think a better-looking man will be unveiled?"

Ramsey: "Probably not, it'll probably be worse."

9/20/22 - Eric and Ramsey were watching TV.  A commercial about cashing in life insurance policies came on.   

Eric (teasing Ramsey): "I cashed in your life insurance policy and got $4.00."

Ramsey: "Dad, can I have the money?"

Eric: "No, I spent it on cigarettes."

Ramsey:  "You're a drug addict!!!"

9/23/22 -Backstory: Ramsey had gotten into his first playground brawl at school (Ramsey called it a "fist fight"!).  He was sticking up for another child who was being bullied (proud of him for doing this!).  As he was explaining what was happening, he said, while trying to hit back to protect himself, "My punches were ineffective!"  He also noted, "I took that beating for Gabe!"

And no, no bloodshed and no black eyes were created in that process.  ;-) 

We will, however, start more seriously considering Taekwando lessons!!!

9/25/22 -On the way to Sunday School...

Ramsey: "Mom, I want to be a grandpa someday.  When I'm old, I want to live at an assisted living place.  And, I'll sit and play Roblox... and I'll go into chat... and I'll yell at kids."  (he laughs)  "And, I'll point my finger and say, 'GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!"

12/12/22 - The school has sent out notices already that there will be no school tomorrow (BIG storms coming through for the remainder of the week)

Eric: "Ramsey, you can play your game tomorrow.  There's no school."

Ramsey: "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!  I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that.  I know my education is critical."
