A real stand-up guy

I've always said we were raising Ethan to be the next Jerry Seinfeld. And he doesn't disappoint. Everyone in Primary (his Sunday School) says he is hilarious and everything he says is funny. And he totally plays to the crowd.

A couple weeks ago we were having a lesson in Primary and one of the kids in my class (the 3 year-olds) stood up (out of turn, of course) and declared that she had been born in Utah. So of course this started a chain reaction of all the other kids shouting that they had been born in Utah, too. Ethan, apparently not wanting to be left out, just stood up, made the "touchdown" sign with his arms and shouted "UTAH!" then sat back down. What the? The teacher sitting behind me laughed uncontrollably for the next several minutes. She finally asked me if he was in fact born in Utah, to which I responded "Not even close- he was born in Virginia." My son the comedian.

One of the other things he does that is hilarious is this little voice he has made up for Sadie. An impossibly high, squeaky one. So any time we ask Sadie a question, like "How are you this morning, Sadie?" Ethan will answer "I'm pretty good!" It is sooooo funny. And he knows we think he's funny, because he just wants to watch our reaction. What have we done...

How funny! I am sure the teachers in Primary love the extra entertainment on Sundays. Evan used to "talk" too when he was a baby. Except for Josh insisted that I did the talking for Evan, and yes in a high pitched voice as well. Where do they get this from?
