Out of the Mouth of....Teenagers

It's been a while since I felt like penning a few of Cody's hilarious tidbits.  He regaled my brother one day and we just had to share. 

About Eli:  "He must be toothin'."

About his improving skills for guide school: "I'm an immature fly fisher."
[amateur fly fisherman]

Exhibiting his knowledge of horses: "Dad said I should get a Palmetto mare.  A mare is a girl horse or a boy horse that's not a stallion."  No, not it's not.  What is Palmetto? "You know that kind of horse that sounds kind of like tomato."  No, I don't know.  Seriously, tomato?  PALOMINO????  Wow.  I think you misunderstood your dad.  He knows horses.  Forget about tomatoes.  Please.  And I promise you that no boy horse is called a mare.  EVER. 

About his recent weight gain from eating fast food every day of the summer: "Me and Eli are about as round as a shape." Round is a shape.  And babies are round!

An explanation of what he missed on his written motorcycle test: "They tried to trick me!  They asked a question about prescription drugs and driving.  Hey, if a doctor gives it to you.......you are good to go."  Not the way it works.  Please don't ever miss that question again.  Especially due to the vocations of your 'rents. 

Kinds of doves: "There are 3 kinds of doves, ringneck, pintail, and arsians." Maybe 1 out of 3??  How does he randomly come up with these names?

How he came up with some fact: " I talked to....no,... okay, I  texted.....ah, well,.... I read an email.  Fine. [long pause] It's what the guide said."
