Isaacisms

Isaac [apropos nothing]:  “If everyone in the world got sick at the same time, it would be bad.  There would be nobody to make sandwiches for lunch!”

Richard [to Isaac coming home from school]:  “You know what tonight is?”

Isaac: “No.  What?”

Richard: “Cub Scouts”

Isaac: “Oh yeah!”

Richard: “Do you know what we are doing at the end of the week?”

Isaac: “Going to a fancy hotel and seeing the [Holidazzle] parade.  That’s gonna be fun.”

Richard: “Guess what else?  You might get to meet my friend Simon who went to the desert  and the mountains with me.  He’s been all over the world doing crazy adventure races.”

Isaac: “Whatever.  Can I have a snack?”

Richard: “I brought home some Stollen Bread from North Dakota.”

Isaac:  “YOU STOLE IT ?!?!?!?!”

Isaac [singing Yankee Doodle]:  “Mind the music and your step and keep the girls handy.”

Mom [to her toddler]: “Winston, let’s go wash your face!”

Winston: [Lifts up the bottom of his shirts, rubs it across his lips.  Smiles].

Richard:  “The school eye exam suggests Isaac may need glasses.  I’m skeptical unless you or I are in the room when the exam is done.  First graders are too silly to pay attention.”

Paige: “I’ve been suspecting he might need glasses.  He will point at someone and say “oh, that’s so-and-so” and then argue until he gets close enough to see it isn’t.”

Richard: “You do that.”

Paige:  “I know.  And I need glasses”

Isaac [frustrated with a game]:  “I hate this game!   It’s too hard.  No one could do this!  The people who made this game are awful. They just want to make kids say ‘Damn It!’  I know that’s why they made it!”

Isaac: “Monsters aren’t real. Except for angels and bats.”

Isaac [talking to a computer he has made by folding a piece of paper in half and drawing a keyboard and a screen]:  “Uh huh. Yeah.  I hope so.”

Richard: “What are you doing?”

Isaac: “Talking to my Mom on, um, what’s that thing you use to talk to her on the computer?”

Richard: “Skype”

Isaac: “Yeah, I’m talking to Mom on Skype.”

Richard: “Do you want to draw a picture of her on your screen so you can see her better.”

Isaac: “No!  That’s a terrible idea.  What if I want to look at something other than my Mom!?”

Isaac: “Hello”

Richard: “Hi Isaac, what are you doing?”

Isaac: “Hanging up.  Bye!” [click]
