On a walk with S (4 yrs old) and our neighbor whose first name is Guy stopped to talk to us. After he left, this conversation ensued:
S: "Who was that?"
Me: "You know who that was, that's our neighbor Guy."
S: "No, what's his name?"
Me: "Guy."
S: "No, what is the man's name?"
Me: "I told you, his name is 'Guy'"
Our version of Who's On First.
While watching Price is Right, one of the prizes was a trip to Utah

M: No, no U talk, you talk.

Tonight during dinner 'L' (8) shares what she wants to be when she grows up then our 4 year old "S" raises her hands and yells out, "I WANT TO BE A HUMAN!"
L: "You gotta organize your library here dad--especially this shelf where its piled and stacked."
Me: "This coming from the girl whose room is a mess."
L: "Don't you yell at me when my room is a mess? Shouldn't I yell at you when your room is a mess?"

When you're kids know you too well.... they know how to get away with stuff. Here's a conversation I had with my second oldest after they had built a tent on their bed.
Me: "hey, no playing in a tent, clean this up."
E: "we're not playing in a tent, we're playing Star Trek."
Me: "Do you think just because it's Star Trek, I'll let you play?"
E: "Yeah."

I'm a huge Star Trek fan and my kids know it.
S has a habit of not eating her food. All the kids have a habit of not using utensils like they are supposed to. I was attempting to address the former problem at lunch today.
Me commenting on her full plate of food: "S you've hardly touched your food."
S: "I know, I used my fork."
