Quotables

Asher: [gazing into a sunbeam]  I am eating dust mites.  Aaaampf. [Opens mouth wide to take in as many motes as he can.]

Owen:  But aren't those coupons inspiring?
Me:  What??
Owen:  They're inspiring, you can't use them.
Me:  OH.  I do believe you mean EX-piring.

Me:  I love you all the time Eden.  Every minute of every day, forever, no matter if we're having a good day or a bad day.
Eden:  Me too, I love you too all the time Mommy. [pause]  [under breath] Except sometimes not.  Sometimes I don't.
Me:  Like when I got you in trouble for not listening to me earlier?  You got mad at me and didn't feel like you loved me anymore?
Eden:  Mmm-hmm.
Me:  Well that's the good thing about mommies. Even when we are mad, we still love our kids because love doesn't happen just when you feel happy.
Eden:  Hmm. [not sure at all about this.  sounds very fishy.]

Asher:  Mom, you would LOVE Magic Treehouse books.  I am absolutely sure you would love them a lot.  You should read them, really!

Owen:  Why do so many people write movies and books that give kids bad dreams.  That makes no sense!
