On the way down to the beach for vacation Quinn, WHO IS EIGHT, says:

“I wish I could go to the beach by myself for some ALONE time.”

Gage informed me that he and his cousin say goodbye by farting at each other.

Charming.

Quinn has to have her labs drawn on vacation – she is not thrilled – as you might imagine. So imagine her delight when the first stick only let small amount of blood trickle. A 30 minute reprieve (Quinn’s choice) until she was ready (we rarely have the luxury to wait it out to give her time) and this conversation transpired during the 2nd stick:

Quinn, addressing the lab tech: “You aren’t very good at this.”

Me: “Honey, it’s not her fault, sometimes that just happens with our veins.”

Quinn, screaming, OH THE DRAMA: “Then it’s my vien’s fart!!!!”

Me: “Your vein farts?”

Quinn: “HAHAHAHAHAHA…I said FART.”

Me: “I think you are missing your UL sound!”

Quinn: “I thought it in my head!”

Gage, on Christmas morning, looking in his stocking and squealing with delight: “I got goober!”

Me: “Did you say you were a goober?”

Gage: “I GOT GOOBER.”

Me: “Is that like you got game?”

Gage: “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Gage wanted to be taken into a store in a restaurant/bar but they needed to be accompanied by a parent. So Julian said, “If you would listen….”

Gage: “What do you mean?”

Julian: “Come on, you know, when you do stuff. If you can name 3 times that you haven’t listened to me, I’ll take you in there.”

Gage: “Can you give me a hint.”

Okay, maybe you have to live with Gage to understand this one…but Gage rarely listens on the first ask and most times the 3rd ask. Or if you tell him to stop something he will get it in a couple of times, just so you know he’s defiant. Yeah, he’s fun like that.

Julian: “Wow, do you have the heat on?”

Gage: “Huh, WHAT? Who got PEED ON?”
