Me: “Well, the Packers won’t be going to the Superbowl this year.”
Ollie: “Are they at home, crying in their beds?”

Evie: “I had my best dream ever last night. I was coming out of ballet class, and there was money! I was stuffing my pockets full.”

Ollie, singing: “Deck the halls with boughs of I.”

Ollie and Sara were sitting on the train platform, waiting for the train. An employee was coming down the platform and emptying each trash can by tying up the bag, checking for trains, and then throwing it out across all the tracks, maybe 40 feet or so.

As the man worked his way towards were they were sitting, Oliver leaned over and said, “I think they’re going to throw us next.”

Judy: “If I wouldn’t talk, I wouldn’t cough.”
Grandma Butterfly: “That’d be the day.”

::Evie and Ollie playing games::
Evie: “I won!”
Ollie: “I two!”

Ollie: “Let’s make a pizza!”
Me: “What should go on it?”
Ollie: “Monster-ella.”

Me: “Hey Evie, Mama and I are trying to think of things that our family says a lot.”
Evie: “Like?”

Evie: “I had to take charge of the grown-up who was supposed to take charge of us.” – If that’s not Evie in a nutshell, I don’t know what is!

Ollie: “Why did you do that?”
Me: “Why do you think?”
Ollie: “I don’t think.”

Me: “I know we don’t really get along all that much on a day to day basis, but I never regret marrying you.”
Sara: “That’s a quote.”
Me: “I’m trying to have a tender moment with you here!”

Evie: “Where do bugs go when they die?”

I think that depends on the bug. I’m sure there’s a special circle of hell reserved for centipedes. Anyway, this ended with my daughter singing “Lake of Fire“, so I was satisfied.

Evie: “Maybe I could be a person that fights fires [when I grow up]”
Sara: “That takes a lot of bravery.”
Evie: “And a big suit.”
…
Ollie: “And who fights a dragon?”
Sara: “Do you want to be a knight when you grow up?”
Ollie: “I want to be a dragon.”

Sara: “Besides cake, what else do you want for Christmas? You can ask for anything you want.”
Ollie: “Mustard.”

::Ollie holding the letter ‘O’ up to his ear::
Ollie: “Look, I have an ear tube!”

Ollie: “Where’s my golden nut?”
Me: “I don’t know, it’s not my job to keep track of it.”
Ollie: “The Grinch stole my nut!”

Evie: “But Ollie, then I’m going to be a beautiful bride, and you’re just going to be…a man.”

Is it just me, or does that belong on one of those “everything I need to know I learned in preschool” posters?

Sara: “Your toes are freezing. Were you under the covers?”
Ollie: “No. Somebody took them off me.”
Sara: “You took them off you.”
Ollie: “No, the dark took them off me.”

Whoa, suddenly that turned creepy.

Ollie: “Look at my eyes!”
Me: “Are you eyes closed?”
Ollie: “Look at they’re moving under the covers!”

Me: “Evie, are these underwear dirty?”
Evie: “Yeah, but I only wore them for one day.”
