Go, Diego, Go!

Diego: “I need your help squeezing like an anaconda. Are you strong?”

Martin: “No, I not strong.”

Diego: “Are you really, really strong?”

Martin: “Yeah. Yeah, I am, Diego.”

on the walk to school

Martin and I were walking up to the school this afternoon, and he was chattering on about the things he was seeing. I thought I heard him say “That’s a space station” so I asked him, “Did you say ‘space station’?” He said no, and then said, “Rotation forward. Can you say ‘rotation forward’?” So I repeated it, and as I said it I was thinking to myself that he’s some sort of crazy genius baby. And then he said, “Can you say banana?”

Sorority Girl, already?

Grace: “Little brother, come meet my old college friends.”

Grace really shouldn't sing...

Grace, singing: “We are fam-i-ly! Because Mama won’t let me watch TV!”

I was being ironical...

Me, after Martin came over for the 90 bazillionth time to ask me to put together a Cootie for him:
“Oh yes, I just love doing this over and over again more than anything!”

Grace: “No you don’t.”

Me: “Haven’t you ever heard of sarcasm?”

Grace: “Yeah.”

Me: “Really?”

A future in acting?

Martin, yelling into a mirror: “Aaah! I scared me!”
