Isaac [from bed]: “Mom? Mom?”
Paige: “No. Go to sleep.”
Isaac: “But you said. . . “
Paige [interrupting]: “No. Go to sleep.”
Isaac [getting sad]: “But you promised I could listen to Beethoven tonight!”
For the record: 1)He got his Beethoven. 2)He usually listens to the Mario theme.
Isaac: “Hey, want to see me puke backwards in slow motion!?” [slowly drinks a bottle of water].
[Working on describing the five senses]
Isaac: “It’s a good thing we have a sense of taste. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t have a mouth. Our teeth would just be all shut up in there, and we couldn’t eat and when we watned to talk we would just go ‘mmmphggp, mmmmph, mmmph’.”
During a conversation about flags and citizenship
Richard: ‘What country are you a citizen of?”
Isaac: “America”
Richard: “Yep, the United State of America. If you were born in France, what country would you be a citizen of?”
Isaac: “France?”
Richard: “Yep, probably. And what are some ways you can be a good citizen of the United States?”
Isaac: “Not shoot France people!”
[Yes, this is true. I don’t know, I just don’t know.]
Isaac: “I wish I had one of those diving suits and could go real deep!”
Richard: “You can when you get older. Did you know you can dive pretty deep without a suit or scuba or anything?”
Isaac: “Really?”
Richard: “Yep. Before my ear blew out I could do 20 feet. But that’s nothing, I once saw my friend Ed go 40 feet.”
Isaac: “Without a suit or anything?”
Richard: “Yep.”
Isaac: “Did he take a knife? He could have brought you sushi!”
Richard : If we lived in Fargo we would be closer to Yellowstone.
Paige: No.
Richard: Don’t make me leave you for a wannabe city on the Red River!
Paige: [laughs]
Richard: [remorse for bad mouthing Fargo]
