Love Don't Cost a Thing!!!

* after giving Mom a back massage *

Mom: Um Brady, what is this?

Brady: What?

Mom: This piece of paper on my dresser?

Brady: Oh, that's your bill.

Mom: My bill for what?

Brady: For the massage I gave you last night.

Mom: WHAT?  $80.00!!!  I thought you gave me that massage 'cause you love me & I work hard?!

Brady: Mom, it was $100.00, but I gave you a $20.00 discount 'cause I love you!

Mom: Wow - that's crazy!

* later that night *

Mom: Here you go...  * handing Brady a small slip of paper *

Brady: What's this for?  * he reads 'Brady's Invoice' *

Mom: Oh, that's your bill.

Brady: For what?

Mom: Well, keep reading it.

Brady: Okay.  Room per month = $300.00.  Food per month = $100.00.  Subtotal = $400.00.  Less massage for $80.00.  Total owing to Mom = $320.00.

Mom: When do you think you'll be able to pay me?

Brady: Mommmmmmmmm!!!

Mom: What?

Brady: I don't have $320.00.

Mom: Okay, well let's call it even then.

Brady: Deal, but the price of massages just went up.

Mom: I'll find a new masseuse. * laughing *

"Ooooh...It's like a cheap thriller, he's such a lady-killer."

* walking home from school *

Mom: Hey buddy, how was your day?

Brady: Good good goodie good good!!!

Mom: I'm so glad to hear that!

Brady: It's better now though.

Mom: Why?

Brady: Because I get to walk home with the most beautiful Mom in the world! :)

Mom: Awe Brady, you're such a "lady-killer"!

Brady: Hey Mom?

Mom: Yeah?

Brady: Does "lady-killer" mean that I threaten ladies?

Mom: NOOOOOOOOO!  It means that you say sweet things to ladies to make their hearts melt!

Brady: Oh okay, that's a good thing then.

I see London, I see France, I see Brady's underpants!!!

* Brady wearing only school uniform shirt & boxers *
Brady: "Mom, I need some shorts to wear to school. I can't just go in my underwear!?"
Mom: "I know buddy, I'll get them. As if I'd send you to school in your boxers!"
Brady: "If you did, all the girls would want me!!!"
Mom: "BRADY!!!"
Brady: "What? They would. Dad wore his underwear around you & that's how you got me!" * giggling *

...it all started with a big bang...BANG!!!

* snuggling *

Mom: I love you so much Brady!  I love you more than any other person in the whole wide world!

Brady: You do?

Mom: Yup.

Brady: You love me more than Nana?

Mom: Yup.

Brady: You love me more than Luca?

Mom: Yup.

Brady: I'm telling Nana & Luca.

Mom: That's okay, they know that I love you more than anyone including them, and that you're my favorite person in the entire universe!

Brady: Am I your favorite matter?

Mom: What? * puzzled look *

Brady: Am I your favorite matter in the entire universe?

Mom: Not sure what you mean bud?

Brady: Mom, a matter is something you can touch, see or feel.  You can touch me, you can see me & you can feel me, so am I your favorite matter in the entire universe?

Mom: Oh okay, I get it...and yes, you are my favorite matter in the entire universe, even more favorite than the sun!

Brady: The sun isn't matter.  You can see it, but you can't touch it or feel it.  If even 1 of those 3 things is missing, it can't be matter.

Mom: Okay?!

Brady: You can love me more than the moon though, because you can see it, and a man walked on it before, so that means that people can touch it & feel it.

Mom: Noted.  I'm still learning buddy.  Thanks for telling me that though.

Brady: You're welcome! * so proud & smiling *

Mom: Did I already say that I love you so much?

Brady: YES!  * laughing *

* Note: He is wrong by the way.  I used 'Google' once he went to bed & it turns out that the sun is in fact a 4th state of matter called plasma.  I didn't have the heart to tell him in the morning though.  :)

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!

* in the car driving to Rock Camp *

Brady: Mom, do you ever wish you had a time machine?

Mom: Um, I don't know.  Guess I've never thought about it.  Why, do you wish you had a time machine?

Brady: Oh yeah, for sure.

Mom: Why?  What would you go back in time & change?

Brady: I'd go back to the olden days & tell them all about the future, so they could invent stuff earlier.

Mom: That's smart.

Brady: Would you do that too?

Mom: Maybe.

Brady: I know what you'd tell them to invent.

Mom: What?

Brady: You could go back to when you were born & tell them about colour movies, so they could invent them earlier, 'cause you love movies!

Mom: They had colour movies when I was born!?

Brady: They did?  I thought they only had black & white movies way back then.

Mom: What year do you think I was born???

Remember...this one time...at band camp...

* Brady tip-toeing into the living room *

Brady: Mom, are you done your preference call yet?

Mom: My what?

Brady: Your preference call.

Mom: It's called a conference call, and yes I'm done it.

Brady: I'm bored.

Mom: Go outside to play, see if Noah is home or ride your bike.

Brady: It's gonna rain.

Mom: Read a book.  Watch a movie.  Find something to do.

Brady: Maybe I could do your work?

Mom: Thank goodness for summer camp!

  

There once was a fair maiden...named Mom?!

* while reading "The Knight at Dawn" by Mary Pope Osborne *

Brady: "Who art thou? said the one with the red face.

* pause *

Brady: Mom, what does that mean?

Mom: It's a way of saying who are you.  That's how they talked in the old days.  It's called old English.

Brady: Did you used to talk like that when you were a little girl?

Mom: No.  * laughing *

We don't need no education...

* Brady laying in bed at 8:00am *

Mom: Time to get up & get ready for school.

Brady: I don't want to, I hate school.

Mom: Brady, I really don't like when you say that.

Brady: Well, I do.  I hate it.  I wish I could retire like Nana.

Mom: Well, you can't retire until you go to school and then get a job, and then when you're older you can retire.

Brady: It's not fair.  My life is terrible.

Mom: Oh really?!

Brady: I wish you'd win the lottery.

Mom: Why?

Brady: Because then you wouldn't have to work & I wouldn't have to go to school.

Mom: If I won the lottery, I wouldn't have to work any more, but you'd still have to go to school.

Brady: Why?

Mom: Because it's the law and kids have to go to school.

Brady: But if you won the lottery, couldn't you just pay the principal & the teacher, so that I wouldn't have to go to school?

Mom: No!!!  Get up & get ready!!!

* Brady moping around while getting dressed *

Mom: There are kids in other countries that would love to be able to go to school & learn.  Smile honey - I love you!!!

Brady: Do you really?  'Cause if you did, you wouldn't make me go to school!

Mom: Oh really!  * laughing loudly *

* Brady smiling & laughing now as we walk out the door *

Mom: Here we go - YAY - school! * being silly *

Brady: My life is horrible! * rolling his eyes *

America's Funniest...

Brady: "That guy just said he wants to be bigger than Tom Cruise?!  Who's that?  I think he meant Tom Bergeron!"
