Some recent quotes around here

Colsen: Can't wike (like) this dinner!

Strider: [While listening to our neighbor tell a story in which she kept using phrases like "she felt like she was being pulled by horses in all different directions" and "I felt like I was just treading water trying to keep the meeting going", he started giggling and giggling, and finally laughing so hard he fell off his chair:] She's being so figurative!

Rayna: [Picking out names for characters in a story] Ok, these are girls, so they are Iddy and Diddy. And this is a man, so he's Widdy.

Me: Cole, can I have one of your crackers?Colsen: No fank you.

Pete: [Reading over my shoulder as I'm typing this.] "No fank you" -- that's so funny when he's says that. But I think it's actually spelled with a 'ph', not an 'f'.'

Colsen: [Going up to Rayna who was sitting on the couch] Whatcha doin', sweetheart?

Me: [Trying to instigage Pete to react loudly] Well, I don't know what you're so worried about. If our country becomes more socialist, isn't that actually good for those of us who make less than the average household income?Pete: I can't believe my wife just said that! Amy! Socialism causes a complete distortion of the incentives that properly allocate resources efficiently... (sputter, sputter, smoke coming out of his ears.... My mission accomplished!)

Colsen: [Playing the piano and singing] Twin-kle twin-kle lit-tle star, How I won-der whatcha doin'.

Rayna: [When nothing in particular was going on -- we were just driving in the car] Mom! Don't put this on my blog!

Colsen: [Running up to Pete who was sitting on the floor and giving him a big hug] I love you Pete!
