Sky (3): “Mom, can I take my teeth out?” Mom: “Baby, they don’t come out!” Sky: “Well Nana’s does!”

So, little Doug (3) was really bummed because it was a rainy day, and he was hoping for sunshine to play outside. In the evening it stopped raining, but it was still dark and cloudy out. I offered to go swing with him on our disk swing because that is one of his most favorite things to do. As we were swinging, the sun broke through the clouds and brightened our whole backyard. Little Doug said: “Mom, this is my favorite day…and I didn’t even see it coming!”

My little nieces were lighting colorful smoke bombs on the 4th of July. They would get so excited and jump through each new colorful cloud that would come puffing out. One smoke bomb they lit only let out a few small puffs of white smoke. Clementine (4) only stood there watching it in disgust and when it was over, she said, “That was dumb.”

Little Doug (3): “Mom, I REALLY wanna be BIG!” Me: “Like big as an elephant?” Little Doug: “No, not that big.” Me: “Like big as a bear?” Little Doug: “No, not that big Mom, I just wanna be DADDY big.”

Isaac: criticizes someone on YouTube

Mercy, being a sister: “Love your enemies, Isaac.”

Isaac: “Chapter and verse…”

Mercy: “Matthew 5:33”

She was 10 verses off - I checked and it’s Matthew 5:43 - but when I told her she said, “Well I knew it was after the sermon on the mount…”

When my son was 3 or so, he would say, “I can’t like that.”
