May and June Quote Book

Grocery shopping with the boys:

Isaac: Chicken Thighs? Is that like the chicken's rear end?

Clayton: No, it's the chicken's thighs. Just like it says. If it was the chicken's rear end it would say that.

Isaac: Oh yeah.

both boys were completely serious.

Clayton's analysis:

"The Little Mermaid is a mermaid who wants to be a girl. Lydia is a girl who wants to be a mermaid. Therefore, Lydia is a girl who wants to be a mermaid who wants to be a girl."

Eliza:

"Do you know why I love to swim? Because my hair looks so beautiful in the water."

spoken like a true girl. . .

Deep Thoughts by Clayton:

"If you lived in an amusement park. The rest of the world would just be boring."

either that, or amusement parks would.


Brigham: I think I want to have a monkey birthday.
Isaac: Brigham, that's just like having a human birthday. 
Brigham: What??? No it's not.
Isaac: Yeah, because humans are primates. You didn't know that? 


Lydia came walking out of the bathroom legs, shoes, everything from the knees down dripping wet.
Me: Whoah, what happened?
Lydia: I wash my feet in the toilet!
Me: What? No, no, no, no, no. . .
Lydia: My feet is aww queen!
Me: No, we don't put our feet in the toilet.  That's really yucky.
The next day. . . splashing noises from the bathroom. . .
I find Lydia with both hands - up to her elbows - in the toilet.
Me: No!!! No, no, no, no. . .What are you doing?
Lydia: I wash my ands in the toilet!  I not wash feet. Dat yucky.

Isaac's class hatched chicks this year.

"I always thought chicks were just soft fluff-balls but they're not. Chicks are actually full of bones."


Clayton: How do you spell death?
Isaac: D-E-A-T-H
Clayton: Thanks.
Isaac: No prob. If ever you need to know how to spell death again? I'm your man.
