Conversations with Craig

Whenever we talk to Craig, we always end up laughing so hard over the funny phrases and things that he says, usually when he doesn't even mean to be funny.  He's pure entertainment.  Like at Christmas when he was eating a bowl of ice cream and after taking what he thought was a scoop of ice cream but realized nothing was on the spoon, started looking around and so casually asked, "hey- did anyone see a really big chunk of ice cream fly across the room?"  Or the time when Ryan and I had a long texting conversation with him solely using lines from Justin Bieber songs.  I think I'm a few years late on this, but I could do a whole segment on our conversations with Craig.  Since I can't quite remember the past ones, I'll just start with the funny one that happened a few days ago.

(Side note: these are probably only funny just because we were there.  But at least we will understand how funny they were in the moment and laugh when we go back and read it someday).

*As we were watching a singer on tv...

Me: Wow, he's actually a really good singer.  You know how some famous singers are good when they're recorded and fixed up, but not that great singing live?
Craig: Oh! Yeah!  Hannah Montana is the perfect example of this.  Have you ever heard her live?  She's terrible.

(Craig and I both started cracking up right after the words came out of this mouth.  When I told the story to Ryan a few minutes later, he asked why this was so funny.  I explained that it was a) because he chose Hannah Montana out of the TONS of examples he could have used, and b) because he called her Hannah Montana and not Miley Cyrus. haha.)

Sometimes we bring Craig on vacation with us for this kind of entertainment.  And also to carry all of our heavy bags so we only have to take one trip from the car to the hotel room.

Actually, I told Ryan and Craig that we should just take two trips so that they didn't have to carry so much (you have to take a LOT of stuff with a baby) but they refused.  I told him and Ryan that they looked ridiculous and Craig's response was, "If by ridiculous you mean really strong, then yeah, I totally agree."  So, one trip it was...
