Me: “Z, you need to share that, please.”
Z: ::big sigh:: “Mom. You worry about you. I’ll worry about me.”

After dropping some Legos on the ground: “We are crying out loud for crying out loud!”

“I just want to shake my bootie!”

This is what happens when he decides he no longer needs his state quarter collection. (I think Big Sister may have something to do with it when she counted them and informed him that he had $19 in quarters.) One trip to the toy store later…

Also, in Great Kid Quotes, this is what the youngest asked very indignantly upon driving up to the store:

“Hey! Where those people put my binkies?”

(He had used all his binkies to “buy” a new tricycle last month.)

A was in a musical two weeks ago. It was long and torturous. Really. It was. She and 3 of her friends had a speaking part and some solos. They were the best part of the show. Really. They were.

Anyway, the day before the show she announced that she needed to wear some sort of military style costume. Huh. Her closet is decidedly low on camouflage. She finally decided on some plain black pants and her old Girl Scout vest. This was the conversation we had:

Me: Are those pants OK? Do you want to see if you can borrow a pair of pants from one of the boys in your class?
A: Ewwww! That is SO disgusting!
Me: Why?
A: Because. All boys pee in their pants. Right?


My Goober Pea Kid. She rocks.

J, talking to a friend of mine last week: My dad’s birthday is Friday and we are getting him underpants.

Today, outside Kung Fu, where a dying pigeon was seen floundering near the door:
Heidi (a friend of mine): Maybe the pigeon got hurt.
C (Heidi’s son): Maybe it is old and dying.
J: My mom is 37.

We were staying with some friends last week on our Big Northwest Vacay, and they had this awesome old school rotary phone that actually works. Z took it off the hook, and here’s how the conversation went:
Me: A, can you hang the phone up, please?
A: How do you hang it up?


I totally want to get one of these now!

Me: A, how is your geometry project at school coming along?
A: You know what geometry is?
(Note: Is it that obvious that I’m clueless when it comes to math?)
J: There are squares and rectangles and trapezoids and octagons and triangles and octagons and parallelograms.
(Note: I definitely did not know about that when I was in kindergarten.)

Me – A, where are your glasses?
A – I don’t know.
Me – When was the last time you had them?
A – Well, I was reading in class and they were on my face and then suddenly they weren’t there.
Me – OK. (I mean, what else can you say to that?)

While talking about the State of the Union Address to the kids…
Me – …so Congress is kind of like in Star Wars where Senator Amidala used to go and talk to all those people and make laws and decisions.
J – So, President Obama is going to talk about Star Wars?
Me – Probably not.
J – Aawww…
