Alex: “I’m sick.”
Sara: “How are you sick?”
Alex: “I had a hiccup one time…”

::Singing Shape of You::
Evelyn: “🎵Shampoo like a nightmare too!🎵”
Me, laughing: “Did you just say, ‘Shampoo like a nightmare too’??”
Evelyn: “Yeah, what did you hear? Yanny?”

Alex, seeing dogs in the park: “I must play with them.”

Overheard at a baseball game, from a mother to her daughter: “You’re a woman, you don’t want to live in Texas. Or Saudi Arabia .”

Evelyn: “We missed having coffee with Cops and Veterinarians!”
Sara: “…?”
Sara: “Oh, not that kind of ‘vet’!”

Ollie: “I call you, ‘The Embarrasser’ more than ‘The Daddy’!”

Sara: “We’ll give you two little bites of broccoli because you’re two years old.”
Alex: “I’m not right now.”

Ollie, having movie theater popcorn for the first time: “This popcorn really hurts my lips, but I’m addicted to it!”

Evelyn: “Ollie, I’m having butter on my toast. What do you want on yours?”
Alex: “I’ll have avocado on mine!”

Me: “You have a lot of questions today!”
Alex: “Yeah. I have a lot of why’s.”

Alex: “I cannot put both ears on the pillow.”

Ollie: “Why do you need to buy clothes?”
Evelyn: “Because I’m going to go to middle school soon, and I need something fashionable.”

Alex: “What are you making?”
Sara: “A sandwich. What are you making?”
::Alex blows a tremendous blast on a whistle::
Sara: “Noise.”

Ollie: “I might have kids, or I might not…it would save me SOOO much trouble.”

Ollie: “[My teacher] has the best poop!”

I think no context is required there.

Me: “How about we go upstairs and get dressed?”
Alex: “How about, ‘no’?”

Me: “We’re going to take the train to downtown today!”
Alex: “Can I drive?”

Sara: “[Girl in Ollie’s class] is so tall!”
Ollie, wistfully: “I’m a little jealous of her, because her parents give her enough food to grow, but I barely have enough to keep from starving.”
