Hump Day Humor --- Funny Cade Stories

Story One:
Recently we visited Papa & 'Lene. While we were eating, Cade burped really loudly. Being the ever vigilant mother, I informed him that his behavior was inappropriate and that if he needed to burp, he should do so with his mouth closed.

Then I asked him, "Cade, who taught you that --- where did you ever learn how to do that?" Thinking that he would probably blame daddy, I sat back to wait for his answer.

He looked up and confidently replied, "From Grandma!"

(I knew 'Lene was behind the scenes secretly teaching my son bad manners, I just knew it!)

Story Two:
Yesterday as the kids and I were leaving the gym, I noticed that Cade was looking particularly cute for some reason. I asked him how he got so handsome and he replied, "I'm handsome like God!" Then he thought for a minute and said, "No, I'm smart like God --- and handsome like Daddy!"

Story Three:
Last week, while I was outside working in the yard, I asked Cade to go inside and get my glass of tea that I had forgotten inside. Being the distracted 4-year-old that he is, he went inside and never came back. I went inside to check on him and he was sitting in front of the TV watching cartoons. I inquired as to the whereabouts of my tea and this is the conversation that ensued:

Me: "Cade, where's my tea? I thought you were going to get it for me?"
Cade: "Mommy, I can't."
Me: "What? You can't? But it's right here on the table where I told you."
Cade: "I know, I just can't."
Me: "Why?!? You're tall enough to reach it, it's right here!"
Cade: "I know, but my legs are broken!"

Apparently I must ask him if his legs are broken quite often because that is now a common excuse for why he can't do something!

Story Four:
A few weeks ago Cade rediscovered his batman halloween costume that had found its way to the bottom of the toy box. He put on the mask and his batman p.j.s that Grandma C. gave him for Christmas and was having a fun time pretending. I decided to pretend with him and said, "Hey Batman, have you seen Cade? I can't find him." He stopped suddenly, lifted his mask and whispered, "Hey mom, it's me, Cade!" Then he lowered his mask and went on his super hero way.
