Me: Gretchen, you have to stop obsessing about the bee.
Gretchen: Why?
Me: Because you're living your whole life whiny and scared.
Gretchen: Well you're living YOUR whole life reading your Kindle and telling us what to do.
Gretchen: I see million flowers.
Me: You do not see a million flowers.
Gretchen: Well, maybe a hundred.
Me: That sounds more reasonable.
Gretchen: Or 29. A million or a hundred or 29. Definitely one of those.
Gretchen: Everyone has a talent. My talent is art. Olivia's talent is reading. Mommy's talent is making. Daddy's talent is making games on the computer. Matthias's talent is running all around everywhere without telling mom and dad.
Bryan: What a talent!
Me: What's Kaitlyn's talent?
Kaitlyn: My talent is jumping on the trampoline! With Daddy!
Kaitlyn: What if we were divers and catched a crocodile and an alligator and a shark?
Me: Where would we put them?
Kaitlyn: At the dentist.
Me: ...
Kaitlyn: Like Nemo!
Gretchen was singing a song from Princess and the Frog that sounded familiar enough to Matthias that he was filling in the second half with lyrics from Aristocats.
Gretchen: Are you ready?
Matthias: Be a cat!
Gretchen: I know how to draw a priest and a human.
