... we went to the Grand Canyon.
Things The Bean has said:
1. At an Indian restaurant
TB: Look at that
Me: Yeah it's a very special building, it's called the Taj Mahal. It's a building for love, a man built it for the lady that he loved so much.
TB: But you love me so much
Me: I do but I can't build you a Taj Mahal.
TB: Nah.. (Pause) But maybe!!! You could build me a really big, big tower!
2. Our first day in Charleston, South Carolina was beyond freezing (literally) and we both decided to wave down a cab instead of walking ten minutes in the cold.
On exiting the cab, to driver.
TB: Thanks, I love you.
3.
TB: I'm gonna eat my lunch THEN I'm gonna have some red ice cream then you're gonna have to carry me home!
4. Charleston has quite the piratey past.
TB: Pirates have monsters and naughty guys and parachutes..
Me: Parachutes?
TB: Or canons, you can call them canons, too.
5. Walking past some dodgy bars on River st, in Savannah, the morning after other people's night before.
Me: These bars smell like the bars I used to work in when I was younger, in Scotland and Melbourne.
TB: When you were younger?
Me: Yep, before you were born.
TB: Before I was born?
Me: Mmm Hmmm.
TB: Before I was born I think I was a boat.
TB: Bye squirrel, I love you.
13. Lonely part 2
7.
TB: We fly out of Georgia tomorrow.
Me: Yup *sad face*
TB: But if we stay because it's beautiful we might miss our plane.
8.
TB: You're the goodest Mama!
9. Lonely part 1
I was in the kitchenette in the hotel room, he was playing on the bed with the iPad.
Me (coming into the room): Hi.
TB: Hi, Mama, quick come here I want to give you a cuddle.
Me: Oh thanks baby, I needed that cuddle. I was a bit sad.
TB: Why are you a bit sad?
Me: I guess I was feeling a bit lonely.
TB: Why are you lonely? I'm just here. If you feel lonely you just have to come out of the kitchen and see me. And you won't be lonely anymore.
Me: Hmmmm *tears* thanks honey..
10. Too long in Louisiana?
At the park The Bean made some friends and they had a 'shop'.
TB: What would you like?
Me: Um a milk shake, please.
TB: Sorry we don't have any milkshakes
Me: Oh ok, what do you have?
TB: Um crocodiles that are all cut up and ice cream.
Me: Oh ok... Well I'll have an ice cream, please.
TB: Ok. We have milk shake ice cream and crocodile ice cram, which would you like?
Me: Um, I think I'll have crocodile ice cream please.
TB: Actually that's a bit spicy, how bout milk shake ice cream?
Me: Ok thank you so much
TB: You have to pay over there.
11. Few mentions in one day about his kinder friends.
Me: Are you missing your kinder friends?
TB: A little bit.. But I love you a lot
12. The comment that epitomises our trip.
TB: I'm just gonna tell you what to do.
Me: Oh my god will you STOP bossing me?!
TB: I'm not even bossing I'm just telling you what to do!
Me: But one day you'll be a grown up and you'll move out and have a partner and maybe some kids and a dog and you won't want to hang out with me anymore.
TB: I'll still hang out with you. And I don't know if I'm gonna have kids.
Me: No?
TB: Nah, I can't grow them
14. On the plane.
TB: When I'm big I'm gonna catch a United plane to Newoork and then I'm gonna catch a Air New Zealand plane to Savannah, Georgia and then I'm catching this plane to New Orleans and then I'm catching a bus home to Australia over a big bridge.
15. In a hotel took where we had two double beds.
Me: Can you stop jumping on the beds.
TB: I'm just playing bridges.
Me: Jelly bean, stop!
TB: Why?
Me: Cause I don't want you to fall off and break your head and die. You're too heavy to carry home to Australia.
TB: Mama, I'll only break my head a little bit.
16. After some nagging, on my behalf. I much prefer dragons.
Me: So we decided on a dragon cake.
TB: No, an angry bird cake.
Me: No, remember that you changed your mind back to a dragon cake.
TB: No Mama, I didn't.
(I should've gotten it in writing)
TB: You can't choose all the time, Mama.
17.
TB: That is the grand canyon, it is truly deep.
