Funny Vacation Sayings

We had to write this down or we'd forget it.  Sometimes kids say things and you have absolutely no idea where they got it, where it came from, what was going on in their mind when they said it. The place where we're staying is undergoing some off season renovations.  So there has been some mild noise as the construction goes on outside our suite.  This morning at the breakfast table, Josh, me, and Kate were having cereal.  Outside there was a pretty loud noise, and Kate looks up at us, and says "What that?"  She always asks this, and we said something like, "I don't know."  And matter of factly, with an air of confidence, Kate spoke back up and said, "Boys...Must be boys."  Then she brings her juice box up to her lips to take a sip as if she'd just nailed it.  We laughed like no tomorrow, and have quoted it all day, and tried every chance we can to get her to repeat it.  Where she got that?  We don't know.  The answer to every ruckus, however, we found out today, is always, "Boys...Must be boys."  Later she was out on the back porch playing by herself.  I suppose she wasn't getting enough attention, so she invents a new story.  She comes running up to the back door, yelling, "Daddy, come out, daddy, Turkey. Turkey out there."  Josh goes outside to have a look, and seeing no Turkey or even a bird, realizes she made it up.  He said, "The turkey must have gone away," and Kate agrees, and proceeds to ask him to color with her.  Love it.  Love it.  Love it.
