Month: July 2013

N. [standing behind me while we watch Bugs Bunny on the computer]: “Um, Richard, there’s a weird hair growing out of your ear.”

(This is one of my favorites)

B. [rejecting a singing Kermit the Frog toy]: “Don’t tempt me with that frog!”

Richard [to Isaac, who is on his way out the door with Paige]: “Isaac, I don’t want to hear about any misbehavior when you get back.”
Isaac: “Okay.  Mom!  Don’t tell Dad about my misbehavior when we get back!” [giggles]

Isaac: “Mom?!  I need a hammer and a nail and my dad!”

This from B., our neighbor.  It’s the first joke I’ve hear him tell.

B.: “Butter Poop!” [falls on floor giggling].

Isaac: [thud] “Owwww”
K.: “Do it again!  Do it again!”

Isaac makes up a joke.
Isaac: “How do you make triplets?”
Paige: “Is this a joke?”
Isaac: “Yes”
Paige: “How do you make triplets?”
Isaac: “Get two twins and another kid and light them on fire.  Get it?  Trip – LITS!”

Isaac: “Shouldn’t we do these sparklers downstairs, off the wooden deck?”
Ben: “It’ll be fine”
Isaac: “Well, we might as well do them inside?”
