Snapshot of life with Owen and Asher:
[On the way home from grocery store, getting home late, talking through supper in the car to pave the way for a quick meal.]
Me: OK, who wants white milk and who wants chocolate milk tonight?
Asher: Choc-wat!
Owen: Does chocolate milk make your teeth fall out?
Me: Well...um...yes, I guess if you drank a lot of chocolate milk and didn't brush, your teeth might eventually fall out.
Owen: No, that's not what I mean. Oh mom, I just want white milk.
Me: OK. So your favorite is white milk these days even when I give you a choice?
Owen: Well, I just want to drink lots and lots of white milk so my teeth will fall out. If I drink lots and lots of white milk it will make my baby teeth fall out faster and my grown up teeth grow in.
Me: OH! Now I see what you mean. It sounds like a good plan. Maybe they'll fall out faster if you stick with healthy white milk, you never know. Why do you want your teeth to fall out faster?
Owen: I just do! Sabrina's baby teeth fell out already and I just want to be like her.
Asher: Watch out for the vomits, mom!
Me: Vomits? What???
Asher: NO! BOMB-its.
Me: What's a bomb-it, Ash?
Asher: You know mom, BOMB-ITS! [makes explosion noise] [giggles uproariously]
Owen=man with a plan
Asher=hilariously random
Not to put them in boxes, but when the box fits...
