Me: “I’ve never seen you wear a ballcap before. You look so grown up.”
Evie, with contempt: “No I don’t. I just look like everybody else.”

Ollie, missing a swing: “That was a baaaaadmitten.”

Evie: “Can I come in and watch you eat?”
Evie, as an afterthought: “… And talk to you.”

Ollie: “When I grow up, I’m going to be a daredevil. Well…maybe just a devil.”

Ollie: “If we go to court and we lose, we can use my rope for tug-o-war.”
Me: “What do you mean?”
Ollie: “You know, like you told me. If they found us guilty.”

I have no idea what I told him, but I like the idea that if you’re found guilty you can go into a tug-o-war, double-elimination round.
