Month: December 2013

Richard: “Goodnight, Isaac.” [walking out of room]

Isaac: “Goodnight.”  [reaches under pillow, whispers not as quietly as he thinks]  “And now, the backup book!”

Isaac [at Xmas dinner]: “Drea, do you know how to build a portal to Ender world?”

Isaac: “A pinkeye phone [giggles].”

Isaac [eating at Hell’s Kitchen in Minneapolis]: “This food is better than restaurant quality!”

Isaac [ to his friend Joe at the Mall, walking by the indoor playground]: “I remember this from my childhood.”

Richard: “I went to the foot doctor and learned that a lot of his job is taking care of people too fat to reach their own feet.  That’s pretty gross.”

Isaac [grinning]: “Can you reach your feet?”

[Three hours later, showering off after the pool]

Isaac: “Dad, hand me my towel.”

Richard: “I can’t.  I cut my toe with the nail clippers and I’m bleeding all over the place.”

Isaac [looking at the fish tank]: “I think we need to feed the allergy eater.”

Richard : [walks into house wearing parka, balaclava and goggles.]
Ben (4 years old): [stares then smiles]: “Richard! You a dude!”

Isaac: “I saw this kid at school and his face was all scratched up, and red, and puffy.  It was like he got clawed by a cat, or something ferocious, or a chipmunk.”

Richard: “Isaac, you still need to do your reading today.”
Isaac: “I did.  Really!  Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.  Or my butt cheek!”
Richard: [sigh]
