N: And now for the greatest show in all of North Korea!! Lootas the otter will fly through the air!

Brain awareness

N: I'm getting all schnoodled! Every lump in my brain has a different idea!

First grade morning

N: (running up to me on the playground before school) Mom! Mom, Tommy has a tree puppet!
Mom: He does? What's a tree puppet?
N: Come and see it. It says hi and stuff.
Mom: O.K. I'll walk over.
N: Mom, I'm going to go ahead of you because I have a motorcycle so I go really fast.
Mom: Oh, go ahead. I'll catch up in a sec. That sounds like fun to have a motorcycle.
N: Yeah, it's great. It cost me 10% of my money.

A list

N: Hi mom. On top of your bathrobe is a towel and on top of the towel is a flea and on top of the flea is a....germ and on top of the germ is a FISH!

Summertime quotes

N: Did you know chopsticks are great for soup?

Mom: No. I didn't. What do they do for soup?

N: They just give it a little kick, you know.

N: Mom! Lavender ran across the bathroom scale!

Mom: Was that surprising?

N: Well, I almost got to see what her weighment was but she ran too quickly to see it!

First words

N: Mom, when did I say the word "baby"?

Mom: Probably when you were about a year old. You started talking really early.

N: I said "baby" when I was a baby? (laughs)

Mom: Yeah!

N: Did I say a lot of things when I was one year old?

Mom: Oh, yeah. You talked a lot.

N: Could I say stupendous?

In the middle of dinner.

N: Mom?

Mom: Yes?

N: Do you know what alliterations are?

Plans for the future II

N: (in the car on the way to SF) I wish I could be a nun when I grow up.

Mom: (calmly) Tell me more about that? Why do you want to be a nun?

N: Because nuns are really fun.

Mom: Yeah. Well you could be a nun if you wanted to.

N: No. You can't be a nun and be married and I want to get married.

Mom: You have to be Catholic too, and you're not Catholic.

N: Are all nuns Catholic?

Mom: The Adrian nuns are Catholic.

Dad: There are buddhist nuns too. You could be a buddhist nun.

N: I don't want to be buddhist.

Mom: Why not?

N: I'm not really into buddha.

Mom: You could be Catholic, maybe.

N: No. I don't want to be Catholic, it's not fun at all.

Mom: Why don't you want to be Catholic? I'm just curious.

N: They believe in things that aren't real.

Mom: What isn't real to you?

N: You know. People don't die and then come back to life.

Mom: Oh, yeah, that. Some people just believe that that's a story, a way of thinking about things and are still Catholic.

N: I don't want to be Catholic. It's boring.


And the moral of the story is?
