Matthias: I want to play the piggie game!
Me: What's the piggie game?

Matthias: It's where they do a trick and if you mess up you get peed on and spill pigs everywhere.

Me: ...

Me: You mean you get a P and if you spell PIG you lose.

Matthias: Just so you know, what's for lunch?

Theodore, pointing to a chicken: Meow.

Bryan: No, that's a chicken. It says bawk bawk.

Theodore: Meow.

Bryan: No. Bawk bawk.

Theodore: Oh. Bawk bawk meow.

Me: How come you girls get up and ready so much faster when dad wakes you up?

Kaitlyn: It's because we love dad more.

Gretchen: I want to have adventures, but we never go anywhere where there's a vine to swing on or a cliff that we have to get across with no bridge.

Matthias: Can we listen to "Dancing queen, Aunt Justine in the submarine"?

From Bryan:

So Theo is 1 and in his attempts at speech he says shoes as "yoosh" and socks is "ock." He also, being 1, is starting to have opinions about things, such as if he should be wearing shoes and socks or if he should be sitting still during the homily. He got both of those opinions wrong today but I, being his parent, enforced him keeping his stuff on and remaining on the bench. What this amounted to was me wrestling him into stillness while he yelled about shoes and socks. To the untrained ear, however, if you walked into St Stephens around 10:30 and looked left, you'd have seen an adult pinning a child to a bench while the futilely wiggling one year old kept yelling what sounded like "you suck."
