Deep thoughts by Gus Pankratz


We wanted to share a few notable quotes from Gus, who is now 4 1/2 years old. Time flies!

About a week ago, Ross and Gus were driving and they had the following conversation:

G: "Dad, Grandpa Steve is stronger than you."
R: "He is?"
G: "Yep, because he has a bigger tummy."

Saturday they were again driving.

G: "Dad, the library is only for local people."
R: "Oh it is?"
G: "Yep"

Earlier, Ross had heard a commercial on the radio where local libraries were discussed. He was curious if Gus knew what "local" meant so he asked him.

R: "Gus, do you know what 'local' means?"
G: "No Dad, not local, loco."
R: "Oh really, it's a loco library? It's only for crazy people?"
G: "Yep" he confidently replied.


The other evening, Gus and I were making crazy faces or joking around about something and in the middle of a laugh he said:

G: "Mom, you have a lot of lines on your forehead when you open your eyes wide like that."
Me: "Oh really Gus?" (to which I'm immediately offended), "you mean wrinkles?"
He responded,
G: "No, I mean lines."
Then he proceeded to try and raise his eyebrows as hard as he could for a solid minute (it was hilarious), but no matter how hard he tried he could not produce the same forehead wrinkles that I have. So he cried. I mean bawled, for a good 5 minutes. Until I told him he really didn't want lines on his forehead because that means you are old. And then he stopped crying.

Recently we made BLT's for lunch. We fed the kids something else, but Gus asked for a sandwich like his Mom and Dad. We made a piece of toast for him and I asked:

A: "Do you want mayo on it?"
G: "Yes."
A: "Do you even know what mayo is?"
G: "Yep, it's what's delivered to the mailbox outside."
