"we should ask the scientists to change our car into a drill so we could dig deep in the earth to search for dinosaur bones, and diamonds and mole people." - my son Nathan
"...those kids fight like wild chimpanzees on steroids and cocaine. Enough to where you may want to break it up with a broom stick rather risk a infected secondary wound." - My husband talking about our youngest sons.
"This is to all us guys who do dishes. Do not wash a piece of Tupperware...you used to soak a carburetor in gas and carb cleaning liquid... in the dishwasher." - my hubby
" Mom, make sure you take a deep breath and bring an extra pencil with a BIG eraser". - Nathan when I told him I had to get lots of tests done in L.A.
When I asked my son Ben if I could help catch the bad guys, he very seriously looked at me and said, " No Mom ~ deep sigh~ I work alone.".
"Mom, could you please pause the story, I need to get a drink of water." - Ben when I was reading to him one night.
"That Joe don't have a very good memory does he Mom." - Ben while watching a Blues Clues episode where Joe was trying to get the kids to guess the answer.
When I told Jonah he needed to get dressed for school before he watched TV , he said " MAN, no'fin 'bout dis is wight!"
I was reading to the boys, "The Berenstien Bears, Too Much TV", the part when Momma Bear says no TV for a week, and Nathan said " and that's mean right?"
Not a quote, but I LOVED it when Jonah figured out how to "work the system" at school. He noticed when he was riding the bike at school other kids would do pesky things like ask for a turn. He figured out that if he used the scooter track instead of the bike track ~ the kids would forget about him and go play something else. What a smart kid!
Oh and on a scale from 1 to 10 my pain level is a big fat 0 !!!!!!
