Noticing bump on Julian’s head, Gage says:
“What? Did you go bike riding again?”

Julian, finding and giving Sally (Gage’s stuffed cat) to worried Gage
Gage: “I guess it didn’t matter to you that Sally was lonely because you left your bear from when you were little.”
Since Gage found Julian’s childhood bear, he’s been very concerned and frankly, a little judgmental about Julian abandoning said bear in the family’s childhood home.

Quinn: “When am I going to get my kidney?”
Me: “As soon as we find out if all the doctors can get together.”
Quinn, looking worried: “How many does it take?”
————–
Me: “The pool is closed…Code Brown.”
Gage: “Then why don’t they ever do a Code Yellow for all the pee?”

Me: “Gage, we cannot have food in our bedrooms and especially our beds! If you are hungry, go downstairs and eat anything from the snack bowl.”
Gage: “Sometimes I get hungry when I am in bed and I do not want to leave it.”

Quinn, after 3 teeth are pulled, screaming/screeching: “Is there blood? IS THERE BLOOD?” Cause if I SEE blood it will hurt more!”

Dear goodness. I lol at Gage judging Julian on taking care of his childhood bear.
These snippets give such a glimpse into the witty and sweet side of Gage. He’s seriously funny. A friend of mine who is a therapist says that there’s no evidence for this, but she really believes that a sense of humor is the best predictor of recovery from serious mental illness. Gage’s one-liners make me laugh, but also give me hope.
