Playing LEGOs:
Ezra: My name is Snail, and I have laser eyes.
Jude: ...good job.
Me: What do y'all want to do this afternoon? We could go to a playground, ...
Jude: GO TO A PLAYGROUND!
Ezra: Playgrounds are the worstest things ever.
Jude: Oh yeah, I forgot.

Ezra: After you and Jude drop me off at LEGO camp, you'll leave and you can invite a friend and have a---
Jude: TEA PARTY!!
Lauren: Did you tell the kids they could stay up late and watch a movie?
Me: Yeah! And I told them I'd go out and buy ice cream and cookies for them to eat while they watched it, and that afterwards, instead of going to bed, we'd put them in the car and drive straight to Disney World!
Lauren: I figured.
Ezra: I can make gingerbread men, and gingerbread animals, and gingerbread angels, and gingerbread devils.
Jude: Can you make devils, Ezwa? 'Cause I know you like devils.
Ezra: Uh, do you even know what a devil is? A devil is a bad fairy.
After a couple of pints with my sister and her family at Highland Brewing Company:
Me: I hope when you and Jude are grown up and married and have kids you can hang out and have a good time over a beer too!
Ezra: Well, we cannot get married, because there's a rule that brothers and sisters cannot marry each other.
Jude: There's a 'mingo in the river!!
[Actually an egret in the inlet. Still cool.]
