Kids Say the Darndest Things (Feb ’24)

CASEY: (drawing a picture of a lobster) I’m almost done, I just have to add his crab snappers.

JACK: I thought those were called snipper claws.


Us driving with the car windows open.

JACK: Can you turn off the wind?


ME: Casey, do you want a yogurt?

CASEY: That’s not a yogurt! A yogurt is when we stretch together on our mats!


JACK: Can we see how tall I am? I want to see if I leveled up.


CASEY: How do you fit inside the house if you’re 33 years old and the house is 15? You should be taller than the house!


JACK: Are boys stronger than girls?

ME: No, it depends on the­— JACK: WANNA ARM WRESTLE AND FIND OUT?


Casey didn’t know the rest of the words to the “eenie meanie miney mo” rhyme, so he sang his own version instead:

CASEY: Eenie meanie mini mo. Let’s go to a barbeque. Eenie meanie mini YOU.


CASEY: Do you want to play house?

JACK: Okay! I’ll be the house. Casey, you could be a box of stuff and clean me.


CASEY: (after telling me a random story about his day) If you liked this story, subscribe. It’s easy and it’s fun.


Jack had texted his uncle Jeremy a question but didn’t get a response. Hours later Jer texted back.

JEREMY: Sorry about that bud! I passed out.

Jack was really, really quiet for a good twenty minutes after. When Daniel finally probed him what was wrong he said.

JACK: I’m just really sad that Uncle Jeremy passed away.


Casey has evolved from calling his freckles “peckles” to just straight up calling them “pickles”. I’m never ever correcting him.  


DAN: Make sure you share with Andie too.

JACK: Can Jesus do whatever he wants?

DAN: Yes but he always thinks of others first.

JACK: How do you know that? Google?


CASEY: Andie’s so soft. She’s like a fluffed! A fluffed animal.


JACK: You are the best parents I ever had!
