Memories from 2014

January 23, 2014

Allie: Coco, if your hands are dry, put on this lotion. It might sting a little at first. Try not to panic.

A: Carter said one of the kids on his soccer team said the 's' word!!!
M: Uh oh. That's not very nice.
A: (whispers) Do you want to know what it is? Because I know it.
M: (Nervously) Ummm...ok.
A: (Whispers even more quietly) stupid.

Glad it wasn't the 4-letter-s-word, and also glad that so far, in our family, stupid is still a bad word.

A: Skylar asked why I gave her a picture of the Joker's girlfriend. I told her Harley Quinn was not his girlfriend, just his best friend. Because that would not be very appropriate for a villain to love another villain.

A: Mommy, in case you still have the hiccups in the morning I will come in your room and watch you wake up so I can scare you.

April 29, 2014


A: Mommy, I had a scary dream about a poisonous gorilla.
M: I'm sorry, sweetie. Can you try to think of something happy while you go back to sleep?
A: I did. I thought about my new shoes.

A: What if every person had a future self? And your one hour was your future self's one day. How old would my future self be?

Mathematician or sci-fi author?

A: (after Chris told her it was time to get out of the shower). Well it appears that this must come to an end. Now that someone complained.

N (upon awaking in the true darkness of camping): My eyes not working!!!

August 24, 2014

A: When will my Wonder Woman costume get here?
M: In about 6 weeks.
A: The days are NOT flying by.

September 8, 2014

A: Sometimes you call us girly-whos and sometimes you call us girly-kins. And what is that other thing you call us? You know, the ones where we don't use plates?
M: Heathens?
A: Yes, that's it.

September 20, 2014

A: After I grow up I'm going to move to Branson and be one of those singing girls. I mean after I get married.

November 3, 2014

A: Look, Mommy! I wrote one of my spelling words! [insert pic of etch-a-sketch with the word 'skank' written quite clearly in childish handwriting]

A: I enjoy watching the Rams, but I prefer the Seahawks.

C: But don't check me!
