Jude (holding up five fingers): I'm this many.
Me: Not yet. That's five.
Jude: Hey! Ezra's that many!
Me: That's right.
Jude: You're that many!
Me: Not me. I'm 32.
Jude: Hold your fingers up.

A transcript of 20 seconds of our drive home just now.
Ezra: ...and then a white mask with black stripes, and white pants and black stripes. And there has to be a tail on the back of the mask. Does that sound pretty easy?
Jude: Why it gettin' dark outside? Why it dark outside??
Ezra: When are my teeth going to fall out?
Jude: When grocery store people go to bed?
Ezra: Because now would be a really good time for my teeth to fall out.
Jude: Can I see your tooth fall out, Ezra? Can I see it?

Jude had an accident at Tiny Tykes and came home in some skintight polka dot knit shorts borrowed from my friend's daughter. We got home and he told me, "I like dese pants." :)

Ezra, showing me his LEGO creation: Mommy, this is a Bat Runner. If you push this button, it will go and go and go all night and day and never stop. Will a canyon stop it?
Me: ...no?
Ezra: Not at all! What if it runs into a house, can that stop it?
Me: No?
Ezra: No. It will go right over the house and keep going. What if a shark eats it? Can that stop it?
Me: Yes?
Ezra: No! It will go in and come right back out. Can an earthquake stop it?
Me: No?
Ezra: No. It will go in the earthquake and come back out. Can it stop a tornado?
Me: Yes?
Ezra: It can stop thirteen tornadoes. Would you like to ride in this crazy vehicle?

Ezra: Yes!
Me: Good.
Ezra: Or maybe the opposite.
