Me: You're a very hairy strawberry.
Kaitlyn: Hey, I'm not hairy!
Matthias: Yeah, I'm harrier than you are. Look at my muscles!
Theodore: Well, you don't have hair on your back. I have hair on my back, so I'm taller than you!
Matthias: I need new shoes.
Me: Are yours too small?
Matthias: No, but my shoe laces are wrinkly.
Theodore: Mom! You have to open the car door for me!
Me, opening the door with a bow and a flourish: Your Highness.
Theodore: Haha, now I'm your highness for real.
Theodore: Maybe this remote works on everything. *points it at the basement stairs* Beep boop boop. Now the bugs are singing!
Matthias: Do you have to dress kind of nice for a baby shower?
Me: Yes.
Matthias: So you shouldn't have blood on your shirt?
Theodore: Why do we even have foreheads?
Olivia: I am interested in cartoonish art. I have no care in the world for how to build buildings.
Theodore: When I'm taller than Grandma then Grandma will be old and weak.
Matthias thinks tsunamis are called "salamis."
Theodore: Is it cheese pizza? I don't like macaroni pizza.
Playing the alphabet game...
Gretchen: Maybe the clouds will make a Q.
Theodore: Yeah, like a word storm?
Theodore: Mom, you aren't in dark language. You don't have green eyes. But I can see in the dark, so it's like I have green eyes.
In December (reminder that Theo's birthday is in August)...
Me: Go to bed and don't bother Matthias.
Theodore: Okay, but he is NOT invited to my birthday party. He will have to stay in his room and not eat any food.
