Bonus Post: Sound Bites 71

From October 2024:

Theodore is confused about how we measure bigness. Matthias is "two heights" older than him. Which means he's "two pounds" bigger. He wants to know how old he will be when Matthias is "the first height of grown up."

From June 2025:

Olivia I had a question but I don't remember what it was. Oh wait, I just wanted to talk.

Olivia: I can't figure out the answer to this question. Why are they talking about wildfire?
Me: That says wildlife.

Me: Do you want to see an M O V I E?
Olivia: What's an M O V I -- Oh, wait.

Olivia: Mom, you look like someone I know.

Theo says "tiny tin bit" instead of "tiny" and "hugeamungous" to mean something large.

From August 2025:

Me: Matthias, those are not your pants. You have got to notice when your pants don't even come to your ankles. Those are Theodore's pants. 
Me: *checks tag*
Me: And they're on backwards. You're wearing Theodore's pants backwards.

Theo: Easily peasily lemon squeezily.

From October 2025:

Theodore: Hey! The Browns are actually winning!

From January 2026:

Theodore: Mom, can you get me cereal? 
Me: Can you get your own bowl out of the dishwasher and get out the cereal? 
Theo: No.
Me: Why not? 
Theo: Because I don't want to do any work, I just want to eat.
