Just Call Me "Grumpy Cat" Mom

Me: "No." 

Judith: "But I'm going to be soooooooooooooooo bored for the rest of my liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife!!!" 

Me: "Good."

Gideon's baby name suggestion: Femur.

How Times Have Changed

Judith: "WOW! They can make movies in black and white?! Do they need special cameras for that?"

And I Thought *I* Wasn't a Morning Person!

Ruthie woke up, and crawled over to me in slow-motion, in a manner not unlike a soldier wounded in battle desperately trying to get to safety. 

She softly cried "I... Need... Coffee..."  

Then when she made it to me, she buried her face in my chest, and said "I love you" as if she was about to breathe her last.

Curses of Marriage

Gideon: "How long are you and Daddy going to be married?" 

Me: "Forever." 

Gideon: "NO!!!" 

Me: "What's wrong with that?" 

Gideon (sadly): "You guys will just have lots and lots of babies..."

Pinkie Pie Possession!

Judith (as we were setting out to do our paper route this morning): "You know, I might be a little crazy today, I'm wearing my PINKIE PIE socks!"

Ruthie (dancing around the kitchen singing): "Bagel, bagel, whatcha gunna do?" x100.

Role Playing

Gideon: "Opa, you be the bug, and I'll be the bug spray!"

Outsourcing

Judith: "Mom, can you please babysit Ruthie for a bit? Gideon and I need to work on chapter 2 of our story." 

Interesting, I've never been asked to babysit my own kids before...

Field Trip To Hawaii!

Gideon: "What does lava and water make?" 

Me: "Um... steam and rock probably?" 

Gideon: "Can we do an experiment to find out?"

Unwelcome Guest

Judith: "Wow! That entropy sure likes our room!"

Kitty Games

Gideon: "Sassy and I like to play tag... with hissing."
