Recent quotes

One of my kids' favorite things for me to do is go back and read my blog entries to them--especially the quotes of the day. Lincoln has really, really wanted me to record some of his quotes, so for the last week has been trying to say witty and clever things. It's hilarious, because they aren't witty or clever, though he thinks they are, which makes me laugh every time. Which makes him think they were witty or clever and I should record them. Like I said, hilarious.

Here are some quotes I've recorded over the last couple of weeks (sadly, none of them belong to Lincoln...):

***

Trevor, calling from the outside door, "Moooooooooom! My feet are muddy!"

Me, unfeelingly: Take them off.

Trevor, incredulously: My feet???

***

Trevor and Lincoln were running around the house when Trevor suddenly ran up to me and kissed me three times on the arm. Then he proclaimed, "now I have your soul!"

Later Sammy decided, "no more soul sucking."

***

At 6:52 the other morning Trevor came to my bedside (I had slept in a little) and informed me that it was 7-10. I freaked out a little because Elise and Stephen need to leave the house at 7:35, and I hadn't woken Elise up yet. He then went on to inform me:

TD: The clock says 7-10. 7 + 10 is 17 so it's 17 o'clock. (Think analog clock)

Me: If we find the little yellow clock I'll teach you how to tell time today!

TD, with the utmost confidence: I already know. It's 17.

***

Mason to Trevor: When I was younger you didn't have any of my memories.

***

While reading Mosiah 23, Stephen, to everyone's delight, added in many references to Yertle the Turtle. Trevor, of course, didn't quite understand that Stephen was combining stories, and exclaimed, "the prophets are funny!!"

***

The final quote is from months ago, again from Trevor.

"Mommy, when you cry your heart is breaking. Sometimes you cry when Grammy is dying."
