Heard Around The House

Tyler

Tyler: "Why do I always have to take out the garbage? I HATE taking out the garbage!"
Mom: "I'm sorry, but you chose to make bad choices and this is what happens."
Tyler: "I hate it! When I grow up I am NEVER taking out the trash. NEVER!"
Mom: "Well, your house is going to have a lot of garbage then. Who is going to take out your trash, do you think?"
Tyler: (looks at Mom like she's an idiot) "MY kids!"


"Mom, you must be really special because you know how to iron."

Chance had a discussion with Ty about the microwave and explained that placing metal inside can cause fires. To which Tyler replied: "Wow, Dad. That's a really good thing to learn."

Noah

Noah: "I like riding in Atali's car. It smells good."
Mom: "What does it smell like?"
Noah: "It smells like Poptarts."

After a morning frost covered the front lawn, Noah asked: "Mom, is the grass getting old?"

Emma

Singing (tune of ABCs): "A B C D E F G ... X O B S E ... we are a happy family."

Noah closed the bedroom door on Emma and would not let her in. Then she threatened him with: I'll huff and I'll puff!"

I asked Emma what an airplane says (meaning, what sound does it make). She responded "Airplanes speak Spanish," which I guess means 'I don't know, Mom.'
