stuff odin says – karate edition
odin’s new year wish makes the newspaper!
i have no idea how it happened but somehow odin was asked for a “kid on the street” quote for the newspaper on his wish for the people of viroqua in the coming year.
of course, the first part warms my heart; it sure is nice to know he’s got the “talking points” down 🙂
i asked him about wishing that everyone could have wooden doors with big windows.
“well, i really like our door. it’s a really nice door and i think everyone would be really happy if they could have a door just like it.”
update: kris just told me that the person who wrote the article called odin because she knew he would come up with something wise and witty!
stuff odin says
almost everyday odin says something notably profound or funny or thought provoking. today he came up with this little gem:
odin: “poppi, maybe you should be a picture taker and travel all over the world.”
it occurred to me that by posting his ponderings to twitter, they could be lost forever, so i thought i’d go back and capture some of the funny and inspiring words that can come out of odin’s mouth.
sadly, many have already been lost on twitter due to the short history they keep. it appears that twitter only currently allows me to go back about 18 months to april 2009 so i’m missing maybe 2 years of quotes, musings and words of wisdom. perhaps someday twitter will make it easier to grab older tweets.
it’s amazing that i’ve probably only captured 1% of his funny and profound utterances.
odin: “don’tcha think homemade things are always waaaaaaay better than things from a store?”
odin: what’s for dinner? me: beans and rice and kale. odin: ( with fistpump ) yes! my favorite!
odin, talking to his grandmother about school: “i have about 7 classmates asking to marry me.”
odin: “ruff! i am puppy with magic powers to defeat mean people and make them smile.”
me: what? odin: do you need to go to the doctor?
to get your ears checked?
odin: lightening firebolt is an alien with 1 million infinity arms who can help people all over the world all at the same time. ( odin came home with an imaginary friend, lightening firebolt: 6″ tall, faster than a bolt of lightening and strong enough to lift a house. )
odin: “hoo boy! nothin’ better than a hot sauna with some eucalapti steam to get rid of my weezy!”
words of wisdom from odin: “poppi, you need to do the hard things first and the easy things last.”
ME: “o.k. buh, bye! have fun! be kind!” ODIN: ( without skipping a beat ) rewind!
odin: “poppi, even though i’m not listening to you, of course i love you.”
