Dad: Lucy what do I do for my work?
Lucy: You are a worker.
Dad: But what kind of worker? What am I?
Lucy: A . . . rapologist?

At Church, my phone was set on silent, and it vibrated in my pocket during Sacrament meeting. Molly's foot was right by my pocket and when she felt the vibration, she asked loudly "Dad, did you stinker?"
***
Rex: Dad, I can't believe Anna ran into a Martian on our hike.
Dad: Really, a Martian?
Rex: Yeah, she ran right into a Martian while we were hiking at that lake.
Dad: Rex, do you know what a Martian is?
Rex: Yeah. It's a wet swampy place with weeds and stuff.
Dad: Oh. Like a marsh?
Rex: Yeah, a marsh.
***
Rex: Dad, I feel like we don't have as many circuses as they had in the olden days.
A few days later . . .
Rex: Dad, what did they eat in the olden days?
A few days later . . .
Rex: Dad, did they have mashed potatoes in the olden days?

Molly was at breakfast watching me eat some almonds in yogurt. She said "I can't wait til I'm big so I can eat nuts.? Lucy said "Molly, you'll probably always be allergic to nuts, so you'll never be able to eat them. Molly sat and thought for quite a while, and finally said "Lucy, that doesn't make any sense."
***
Lucy fell on Ryan while jumping on the tramp. She lay there for a minute and then said "Ohhhh . . . I think my head is sprained."
***
Macy: Wow, I had the weirdest night's sleep.
Rex: Probably because you sleep next to a big stinky guy.
***
Molly: (Every night at dinner, when we each say one good thing and one bad thing that happened that day) And my sad is that I didn't get to go to Charlotte's house.
***
Dad: So do you know what you want to be when you grow up?
Lucy: Still an artist. (thinking . . . then she snaps her fingers, a new skill for her) . . . Oh yeah, and a snappist.
***
Molly, as we were driving through the neighborhood: Mom, it's getting Halloweener!
***
After Lucy's parent-teacher conference we were in the car driving home.
Mom: Lucy, that was great. Your teacher is really happy with what a good student you are, and what a good listener, and what a good friend . . .
Molly: And what a good sister!
***
Macy and I were talking about a book I was reading on my Kindle
Rex: Dad's always bragging about his Kindle.
***
Molly called me at work to tell me about her efforts in potty training. We talked for a while, but then she lost focus and stopped talking. So, intending to gently wrap up the call, I said "Well, I love you Moll."
Molly said curtly: "I'm still there, Dad." The call was not supposed to end.

These are my all time favorite kinds of posts, your kids are so dang smart and funny, I think my favorite was the martian, so funny!
Thank you so much for sharing those precious quips! I smiled and/or laughed at each one. The one that made me laugh loudest though, was Molly loudly asking you, during Church, if you had stinkered, because your phone had vibrated. LOL!
CUTE CUTE kids!!!
I loved all of them.
so fun that you have a record of these priceless quotes.
I will come watch Lucy perform as a snappist someday. Can't wait.
Oh man, I never wanted these to end! So, so, so funny. For some reason the one that made me laugh the most was Rex's comment about Macy sleeping next to a big stinky guy. Of course that would make you have a weird night's sleep!
When Mike and I were first married, he was sleeping on his back with his arms above his head and I rolled over and my hand landed in his arm pit. I have this totally irrational fear of dogs and cats, so this contact with strange hair immediately woke me and made me scream, "There's an animal in our bed!!!!!!" Mike was so flattered.
Well we'll have to change Molly's sad into a happy and have her over this next week. We love Molly June!
So funny ! I'm glad Ryan brags about his Kindle and I am forever going to say Happy Halloweener!
Those are HILARIOUS!
Great post! They are simply adorable!!
oh man, those are so funny. i miss those kiddos.
i love these posts. your kids are sooooo cute. i love that rex thinks you're a "big stinky guy." lol. that was hilarious about your phone vibrating too.
How did I miss this post? I second Eliza and Rebecca and whoever else that these posts are my favorite. So much great stuff. Anna running into a marsh was funny to start with, but a martian was excellent. Molly and Lucy are just so funny.
