Isaac:  “Richard, was Louis Armstrong really the King of Jazz?  I mean really?”

Isaac [excitedly exiting the bus]:  “Guess what?  Fire shot out of one of the plugs at school today!!  It was blue fire and it shot way into the air!  I can’t believe I finally got to see blue fire!”

Principal’s Letter sent home with Isaac:  “ I wanted to be the first to let you know that an outlet in your child’s classroom, Mrs. Krueger’s, blew today. This particular outlet is located on the floor in the classroom. When the outlet blew, flames shot up in the air. Thankfully, no one was injured and there was not any damage to any property. However, the first graders were all a buzz that there had been a fire in their classroom.”

Isaac [watching a Sikh man walk by]:  “A Genie!”   
(Sank Rapids is diverse in that we have Catholics AND Lutherans)

Isaac [at the hotel, upon learning we forgot his pajamas]:  “My dream come true!  Time to sleep in my underwear!”

Isaac [limping at Scouts ]:  “Thomas hurt me when we were wrestling.  He didn’t stop when he was supposed to.”

Richard: “That’s too bad.  Which boy is Thomas?”

Isaac:  “The one with brown hair.”

Richard: “A lot of kids have brown hair.  Give me a bit more to work with.”

Isaac: “He has brown skin too.”

Richard: “Um, okay.  I guess that works.”*

*We do live in Sauk Rapids, MN.  Not exactly a diverse community.

Special Guest Star!

Richard: “Red shirt or blue shirt?”
Paige: “The red one really brings out the new scar on your face.”

Isaac [standing on the balcony enjoying the St Paul skyline]: “Aaah.  Fresh city air!” 

Richard: “Isaac!  Stop!  Restaurant manners, please.”
Isaac (in sweet voice): “Oh, sorry.  MAY I say ‘KILL’ at the table, please.”

One might think this is a happy family under a rainbow in a field of flowers. According to Isaac, this is his family under a force field which is protecting them from all the fire.
