Nana: See that man? That's Goliath. And this is David.
R: That's not David! David downstairs!!
K: Sometimes I wish I was color blind. Then I could go back in history and see when things were black and white.
K: I'll be spending the rest of today in the front room. Don't worry, I have enough food and water to survive. (She also had a pillow, scented candle, hairbrush, fidget spinner, and two tubes of chapstick.)
Me: You need to clean up these blocks.
R: Mommy, safety first! Stay right here. I need to get a lawn mower to get these blocks out of the way.
Me: This Fall, I'd like to get a pumpkin and each day we'll write something we're thankful for on it. We'll have a pumpkin full of blessings!
K: Or, we could get some real branches, cut leaves out of card stock, print pictures of what we're thankful for, attach the pictures to the leaves, write with a silver Sharpie what we're thankful for, and the attach the leaves to the real branches.
Me: ...
Me: Sorry buddy, I don't know why the on-demand cartoons won't work.
R: Oh, I got an idea! Phones work!
R: I need another Spider-Man band-aid.
Me: Sorry, I don't have one.
R: Ok, we get in the car. I drive. You, Daddy, Ya-ya in the car, too. We go get gas. You stay in the car and I get gas. Then we drive to the doctor and buy Spider-Man band-aids.
R, pointing to a room door at daycare that was decorated for Halloween: Mommy, look!
Me: I know! It's a mummy!
R: No it's not, it's a napkin.
K: You should get the Chrysler Pacifica van. It's a proud sponsor of Disney Junior!
R: ... and at the zoo we see zebras, and lions, and the sic 'em bears, and giraffes, and monkeys...
Me: Two fire trucks and an ambulance just drove by! It's a good day to be Ryan!
K: It's not a good day to be people!!!
R, after throwing a fit: I happy now.
Me: I'm glad! What made you happy?
R: Um, God.
K was helping R calm down after he had a meltdown. I found him sitting in her lap while she talked gently to him.
K: Shhh, Mommy, he's in his happy place.
Tia Christy: Katelyn, you're delightful, but Zorra (the dog) doesn't care that much about you.
K: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M DELIGHTFUL?!?!?
R: Can I have applesauce? Say yes, Mommy.
R: Can we go talk to that man over there?
Dave: That man on the phone? We don't know him!
R: Yes we do, his name is Mike! (?????)
