Daddy: "I have a request."
Haddie: "Like Shrek?"
After a moment of consideration...
Mommy: "You mean a quest?"
Haddie: "Yeah! To get his swamp back!"

Andy: "Mommy, you're my best friend. I'll never let you die."

Andy was watching the movie Hot Shots today, and asked about Saddam Hussein--the scene where the hero drops a bomb on him while he's sitting next to a swimming pool. I told Andy that Saddam was a very bad man, but the good guys caught and executed him. Andy asked, "Why was he bad? 'Cause he moved that chair near the pool?"

Andy: "I love you, Mommy. Don't ever take me back to the hospital." (translation: Don't give me back to where I was before you got me, if that makes sense)
Mommy: "I won't ever give you away. Because I love you so much."
Andy: "And if you didn't have any kids you'd have a sports car?"

Mommy: "What's with you two tonight?"
Andy: "Maybe I have a brain damage."

Andy: "I just took out my maditude. Okay? So I'm happy now. Okay, I'm happy...well, except for my other attitudes. But I'm happy for once."

There was a bad storm coming through and Andy was extremely concerned that we had not gone to the basement yet. In a scolding tone, Andy said, "Daddy, you better keep your kids safe. You better keep your kids healthy or they'll die young. And they'll never get healthy anymore."

Haddie tripped over the lego box and it made a racket. I hopped up to check on her and she said, "I'm okay, Mommy. I didn't die myself."

Andy had his Webkinz snake wrapped around the legs of my chair. He said, "Mommy, I think there's a tiger snake under your chair. And he just cried for joy for me."

Liberty let out a strange and yelping bark while she was asleep. Andy came into the room and said, "What's the matter, puppy? Were you dreaming of something terrible? Don't worry. Your family's here. We'll protect you from the ummm...ummm...ummm...terrible somethings."

Haddie: "Mommy, I'm hungry. I want a hot dog. It makes me a lot of poop."

I was reviewing Stranger-Danger with the kids to teach them what to do if a stranger tries to kidnap them. I had heard that if kids curse when they're being abducted, adults are much more likely to take notice. I had Andy roleplay with me and told him to scream, kick and curse (and made a big deal about how it's the ONE time he is allowed to). I said, say this: "This mother f&%^$er's trying to take me!" When it was time to roleplay, Andy says, "This f&*^ing mother's trying to take me!"

Terry and I took Andy to the bookstore and let him read in the kid's section while we worked on my laptop. I reminded him about Stranger-danger. Of course, now EVERYONE is a stranger to him. Once, I heard him yelling in a petite girly-voice "Ahhhh!!!" as he ran down an aisle. I scolded him and told him not to yell in the bookstore. He said, "But there was a girl and I thought she was going to try and take me."
