A Bray Say… about a Serial Killer

The other day, we were looking at a home to possibly rent.  About to start the tour of the home, we stood in the kitchen and listened to the owner explain a few details. Braylon interrupts with…

“Has anybody DIED in this house?!”

Nice.

Ricky & I just looked at each other and tried to keep from cracking up.

A week before, we recalled watching like 7 minutes of an “Extra” or some gossip-y news show: a story of a couple who bought a home later to discover it was formerly the home of a serial killer who’d kept his victims bodies in the home and buried in the yard. If I was an 8 yr old looking for a new place to live, & I’d seen that on TV…I think I’d ask the same thing!

The owner just looked at him smiling. Then his smiled turned downward and he said, “I’m afraid so…”

(Dramatic Pause)

“…a hamster.”

A Bray Say….about a cuss word

The other night the kids were at the table finishing their dinner and Angel says, “Mommy, I want some ice cream!” but she says “ice” with her lil Texan accent, which makes it sound like, well…

Braylon goes, “Mom? Angel just said a cuss word.” We’ve known  for months that when she says ice cream, it sounded more like “ass cream”, but it was just too funny to correct.

We simply smiled at Braylon and said, “I know. She doesn’t mean to, buddy.” We’ll train her to say “ice” the right way, in time (before she’s made fun of)…but I like the lil Texan in her voice & want to hear it as long as I can!  Unlike Braylon, she is a Texan, after all.

A Bray Say… about google

“Braylon, I love you.”

I know. I love you too. I love you a hundred forty thousand million times more.

“That’s not a number.”

Ok,

(pause)

…I love you…google.

(smile) ”Ok. nigh-night.”

What is the Meaning of Google?

Have you ever wondered what is the meaning of Google? Where did the name google come from? What does google stand for? Google is the name of internet’s most popular search engine and the word Google is derived from GOOGOL.

Why is Google Called Google?

Googol is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, “Mathematics and the Imagination” by Kasner and James Newman. Google’s play on the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.”

Goooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,
oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,ooooooooooGle

is indeed derived from Googol

10000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,
0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000.
Yes, that is 100 zeros!

A Bray Say… about Papa’s eating habits

We’re at the Old Spaghetti Factory at the end of a great, fun-packed gorgeous day with family

We all get our Spumoni. Braylon’s 1st Spumoni ever.  He tastes it, then leans over to my dad and goes,

“If you want, I can eat your ice cream too, since you have Diabetes.”

A Bray Say…about Annie

He was watching that old musical the other night, and goes, “Hey! She kinda looks like Chucky. She’s kinda freakin’ me out!”

A Bray Say…about dance moves

I’m kinda upset that I don’t write down more “Bray says”. It’s not like I’m not listening for note-worthy comments – but this boy is jus’ growin’ up so fast that his phrases and vocabulary seem so …well, grown up already! He’s only 7 for goonesssake! Oh well. When they happen, I’m on it. Like this one: Read more…

A Braysay… about dangerous ants

So, Bray checked out a library book called Dangerous Animals, was reading the Ants chapter, and asked, “are all fire ants deadly?” I replied, “not all of them; but maybe Brazilian ants are” and he goes,

so, a whole bunch of them?

A Braysay…about armpit hair

Tonight, when Bray went to bed, he talked to his dad for awhile. He said,

“If mommy would have married somebody else,

Angel & I wouldn’t be as cute…

…I got your brown eyes and your hairy armpits”.

Ricky replied with a laugh, ”What are you talkin about?”

“Today in math, I felt a little bit of hair in my airpit”.
