1. On Saturday as we were driving to the State Fair, he pipes up from the back of the van "all animals have tails"* Now just think about that one for a minute. Don't worry, take your time. I'll be back to that one in a minute.
2. As he was snapping pictures around the house, Kenan stops and takes a picture of me (it got deleted otherwise I'd show it). He looks at it and says "WOW! That's impressive."
3. The other night when Jeff was tucking in Kenan, he looks over at Jeff and says "Papa, you have some giant man-sized boobies."
4. As he was packing up to go to Grandma and grandpa's for a sleepover Kenan says to me, "mama, I'm to help Grandma because she's an old lady!"
5. One afternoon, we were playing Go Fish with his Spongebob cards. He asked me if I had Mr. Krabs. When I said Yes, he responded** in Mr. Krabs fashion (picture a deep piratey old man voice) "arr arr arr, I love money!"
6. On the way home from the fair on Saturday, Kenan was kicking Hannah's seat and just pestering everyone. I told him that he needed to go to his room when we got home. Our conversation went a little like this:
me: "Kenan, you have to go to your room when we get home since you can't stop pestering everyone."
Kenan: "okay. but for just a couple minutes"
me: "no you will stay in there until I say you can come out."
Kenan: "how long will that be? a couple minutes?"
me: "no. but you will not come out of your room until I say you can."
Kenan: "I'll just come out after a couple minutes."
me: "How about you stay in your room for one hour?! (said more out of frustration, than a question)
Kenan: "1 hour? Sounds good to me! 1 hour is my middle name!"
This resulted in tons of laughter and then he ended up staying in his room for about 15 minutes or so.
7. Hoping to see what he's say when asked what his middle name was, Kenan responded "trouble! Trouble is my middle name!"
*we had a hard time thinking of any animals without tails. When it comes to 5 year olds, all creatures are animals and not really classified by reptile, mammal, bird, etc. We did ask Uncle Mike and he thought of primates. Primates don't have tails. If you can think of others please post them in the comments.
**Kenan does his impression of all his favorite Spongbob Characters and I will link a video soon.
***if you can think of other Kenanisms I'd love to read about them. Post them in the comments.

My personal favorite was in the hores barn at the fair. Kenan was taking pictures of empty stalls and asked where the horses were, I absent mindedly told him "probably at the glue factory". Kenan seemed totally cool with that since he is not aware yet the paste he eats at Kindegarten is made from horse feet. A little while later we see a GIANT clydesdale being led out for grooming by his owner and Kenan shouts down to the horse and his owner" Have fun at the glue factory"!!!
I about died laughing. Kenan, none the wiser snapped pictures of his friend the Clydesdale, probably thinking the glue factory is a fun place for horses to do arts and crafts. Oh Kenan. You may be a fiery, spirited little boy but the laughter and joy you bring to our lives is so worth any pestering we might have to endure.
oh yes! can't forget the glue factory comment!
