MIKEYISMS

Let me just start by saying that Mikey is HILARIOUS!  He seriously comes up with some funny stuff!   We recently started a reward system for Mikey where we made a special jar with a label that reads: "Mikey's Coupon Can".  Mikey can earn 'coupons' by being a good helper, picking up after himself without me reminding him and doing other small tasks .  He can then spend those coupons on some of the many treats in our pantry. One time I gave him a coupon for remembering to flush the toilet, wash his hands and turn off the light after he went to the bathroom.  Well, let me just tell you, that day he went to the bathroom every ten minutes to try to rack up his coupons!  Then, about two weeks later, this conversation occurred between us:

Mikey:  I Flushed, I washed and I turned off the lights!

Me: What?

Mikey: (Louder and Slower)  I    f l u s h e d,    I    w a s h e d    a n d    I    t u r n e d   o f f   t h e    l i g h t s.  

Me: Oh, Okay well then we'll have to get you a coupon.  

I realized as I was saying this, that I had taken the soap out of the bathroom to refill it. 

Me: Mikey, what did you wash your hands with?

Mikey: (Very Matter-of-factually) I just used the Hanzizizer.

Me: The what?

Mikey: THE   HANZ-I-ZIE-ZER!

Me:  What is that? Show me what you are talking about.

Mikey takes me into the bathroom and opens the cupboard under the sink.  He pulls out a Gigantic bottle of hand sanitizer.   I didn't even know it was there! ...So I gave him two coupons.
