1. Jude said while waiting without a full stomach until 12:45 p.m. to go into surgery: “Why do I never get to eat?”Â
2. Jude yelled (while crying) to the nurse who was trying to take out his IV, “You’re the meanest doctor ever! I hate you!” And then he said to me and Andy, “Can you punch her?”
3. This quote has a bit of a background story and here it is — I’ve noticed I have a bad habit of warning the boys with a “Careful!” or “Watch out!” after they are already injured (maybe it is the lawyer in me trying to cover my own butt by having warned them, even if after the fact). This morning, Asher and Jude were my little shadows while I was feverishly trying to get ready for the big day. I opened a drawer in the bathroom and smacked Asher in the head with it and immediately after cried out, “Watch out, Asher!” Thankfully, Asher wasn’t really hurt and didn’t even whimper. But, Jude was on to me and said sternly, “No. Watch out, Mom!”
