Nate-ism #18.

(looking at a picture of Nate's brother) 

Lindsey: Hey, that looks like they got engaged at the same place we did only on a trail and not on the side of the road.

Nate: Yea, it does.

Lindsey: Where would you have proposed if I hadn't made you stop on the side of the road?

Nate: I probably wouldn't have.

Spencer says the Pledge of Allegiance.

A few weeks ago, someone we know said that her infant daughter (a month younger than Spencer) had said her first word (and it was a difficult word). Obviously this was impossible but Nate ran with it. He made up his mind to teach Spence the pledge of allegiance, they work on it every day. It goes like this (hopefully I'll get a video soon) 

Nate: Ok, say 'I pledge allegiance'

Spencer: goo gah aaaaah 

Nate: Good, now say 'to the flag'

Spencer: oooogh ahgag

Nate: 'of the United States of America'

Spencer: .......

Nate: 'of the'

Spencer:  

Nate: Come on, 'of the'

Spencer: gagoogaga

Nate: good job! Now 'united states of america'

Spencer: gogogag gaaahh agh

Nate: that was 'united states of am...'

Nate: '...erica'...'...erica'

Spencer: WAAAAAHHHHH!! I WANT MY MOM WAAAAHHH!!!
