I can't believe it, but it's time to type out the whole quote board again for those of you who can't get here to read this one. It's bright yellow, and Carrie is miffed that we are replacing it with a clean white one instead of a blue one. She feels that Liam got his turn, so naturally the next one should be HER favorite color. Too bad, so sad. ;) But before I start, here is a breakfast observation from Liam:
He's spelling, "c-r-u-n-c-h... spells Kix. And c-o-l-l-e-c-t a-l-l spells no eating strawberries." (Can you tell he's into reading cereal boxes these days?)
*playing restaurant*
C: I'll be your waitress for, like, forever. And you're my favorite patient.
Mama: Customer.
C: Yeah, customer. And someday I'll even be your husband. Your pretend husband. I know you already have one. And don't forget my name. It's Dave.
Mama: Do you have any pie?
C: I have chocolate chip, apple, and watermelon.
Mama: I'd like apple!
C: Would you like a whole pie or a half?
Mama: ! Um, I would like a piece, please.

*Dada thinks, "Woot! First time ever!"*
Mama: Dada doesn't know how to play the piano. He can't help you.
C: He should! I taught him!
C: If I was going to spell "mamas" I'd have to do it m-a-m-a-z-z-z-z-z-z.

L: It's raining snowballs. (It was snowing.)
Triskal: BARK!

During November 2008's first snowfall:
C: I can see them in the air. They are flying south. *pause* Which way is south?
*Mama points*
C: Yep! The snowflakes are flying south!
L: Is Carrie five?

C on the phone to Nana, talking about Grandmama (who is Nana's daughter): Her name is Grandmama. Do you know her?
C: No spitting at the table, Liam. I won't put up with it.
*CLANK*
Dada to Liam: You need to keep your cough drop in your mouth so it doesn't end up in the potty.
Dada, mid-hula-hooping on Wii Fit, when C hits a button on the controls: AAAAAUUUUUGH!
Mama: "That was the sound of ultimate suffering..."
*gales of laughter*
Dada to C: Quit.
C hits Retry.
Dada: Nooooo! You MASOCHIST!
Mama, trying to recover, loses it again...
L: Jesus died on the cross.

C: I know. But he can read.
*Mama & Dada start cracking up*
Dada: You have increased your skill in reading (1). (Yes, EverQuest totally reshapes your life...)
Mama heads to the bathroom for some peace. C promptly starts whacking the door & starts scratching on it w/ her nails.
C: Mama! Liam has something! I gotta show you! It's really important!
Mama: What does he have? Tell me with words.
C: He has Dada's pen and he's writing... um... WIF WORDS!!
Mama is in the bathroom for some LONG minutes, regaining her composure.

I love your quote boards! If more people thought like Carrie we might be better off, at least sometimes- "I think Jesus died for me... cause I make bad choices!" So many cute ones!
Those are hilarious quotes, I've always kept up with your blog and it never fails to put a smile on my face.
I just sat here reading all of those and thought "you must have many roll-on-the-floor laughter days". Some of the things C and L say! Well, they are a product of you and Scott! That is the reason!! :)
