CASEY: *pointing to a white rose* Is this a cactus?
ME: You need to get out of Arizona once and a while.
JACK: This is an easy one. What’s 100 + 80?
ME: I don’t know what?
JACK: 180!
ME: Ohhhh.
JACK: Here’s a harder one. What’s baby + daddy?
ME: What?
JACK: A baby daddy.
ME: Hahaha what?
JACK: See that was a harder one.
CAEY: (bawling his absolute eyes out) I need help!
ME: Help with what?
CASEY: To fart on Jack!
ME: Jack can you hand me that pillow on the floor?
JACK: *points to a wrapped up dirty diaper* This?
ME: … No dude.
CASEY: I’m so sweaty! I’m one billion sweaty!
Jack takes his first sip of Mountain Dew ever.
JACK: This tastes like a yellow charge.
Casey has THE cutest habit of accidentally substituting a word for a different word. For example:
CASEY: Mom, watch out. That stick is so, so shark.
Or
CASEY: Mom, I have a new toy car.
ME: Oh, did Daddy tell you what it was?
CASEY: Yes it’s a porch car. I love my new porch.
We were trying to explain crushes to Jack (after his friend brought it up in the car).
ME: A crush is when you love someone so much and they are so special.
DAD: Do you have a crush on someone?
JACK: (thinks a bit) Yes. My crush is baby Andie.
CASEY: (taking giant steps) Prints. Prints. Prints. Prints.
ME: What are you doing?
CASEY: I’m leaving all my footprints on the floor see?
ME: (laughing) You’re so cute!
CASEY: I’m not cute. But flowers are!
Randomly during dinner, Jack blurts out
JACK: That would be so hard if everyone in the world was a baby.
*Dan and I talking in 2014*
ME: What do you think our kids are going to be like?
DAN: I hope they have the very best qualities of both you and I.
*2023*
