Jude: I can tell basset hounds from beagles because their ears go downer.  And they look messier.

Jude: I was just using this flashlight to look at Buster.  I looked in his ears.  And his fur.  And I was just about to look in his nose.  If he stands up, I might look in his butt.

Ezra: Guess what? Ryan asked Bella out on a date and she said maybe!
Me: Wow! How do you know?
Ezra: Everybody knows it!  Everybody was telling everybody! Isn't that kind of young?
Lauren: I guess some people start earlier than others.
Ezra: Not me!  I didn't think you had to start finding somebody you wanted to marry until middle school!

Me: Go try to use the bathroom before we go to baseball practice.
Jude: I don't need to.
Me: Remember how there's no bathroom there and last time you had to go pee in the woods and that was kind of uncomfortable?
Jude: Actually that was actually kind of fine.

Me: How about you, Ezra?  Have you met anybody you might want to marry yet?
Ezra: Well, I don't really know what all my options are yet.  And I don't need to decide that until I'm like a teenager probably.

Jude: Less than a year until my birthday!!

Ezra: Mommy, there's a piece of the peach pit in my smoothie.
Me: Oh, sorry.
Ezra: At first I thought it was one of my teeth.
