If there was no gravity on this earth, this milk would have been floatin’!

Will the airplane have those cord holes?

Huh?

To plug in your laptop. So I can watch Cars 2.

Outlets! No, but my laptop has a battery.

J: Do I have a fever?
Me: No (feeling forehead).
J: But my skin is warm.
Me: Well, it should be a little warm.
J: Why?
Me: Cause otherwise you would be cold, if you get too cold you get hypothermia.
J: What’s hypothermia?
Me: When your body can’t get warm and you get so cold.
J: You freeze?
Me: Yeah, pretty much.
J: And you can’t move?!
Me: Nope.
J: That must be pretty boring!
Me: Among other things, but yep.

Mom, I have to write an important note. What should it say?

It depends what you need to tell someone about.

I need to write to the animal hospital to tell them that the Luna moth is in danger.

In danger or endangered?

No mom, in danger!

In danger of what?

Dogs, I guess. Dogs will just eat them. Dogs like to play with anything green. So how do I write that?

If you do this with your thumb, all the blood rushes back down into your arm.

Who told you that?

Grandma. She’s a genius.

Joseph, help Uncle Matt out, he has a hurt knee,

Uncle Matt, I’ll be your cane!! (Puts his hands on the floor.) Grab my feet!!

How about I use your head?

Ok.

We are in the car…

Me: You’re awful quiet back there tonight, Maddie.

J: Why did you say she’s awful quiet?

Me: It just means really. Really quiet. Awful quiet…awfully quiet…

J: No mom. It means mean. She’s not mean quiet.

We took Joseph’s training wheels off today. He pedals and takes off.

“Holy cow! I did it!! I should’ve done this years ago!!”

Joseph do you like blondes or brunettes? …or redheads?

Redheads!!

Joseph, what’s your favorite season?

Winter, because it’s cold and I get to go out and play in the snow!

Oh yeah, I love when it snows, too.

How do you know if it will snow?

Well, the sky gets all grey and you don’t really see clouds. There’s a certain feeling and even a smell when snow is on the way, too. And the sky seems heavy and things seem quieter.

Like when you are lost.

Yeah. Hm.
