Me (while helping Little D find a pair of socks): Oh look, there’s that tiger costume I got for A when she was little! Little DÂ (curiously): I’ve never seen it. (This despite the fact that it is sitting clearly visible in the room they share, although maybe he just meant he’d never seen A wearing […]
Little D, just now, while trying to clamber up onto my shoulders: “I love you so much I could BLOW UP!

Me (wiping webs off my hands): “Aaaagh! Yuck! I keep clearing the spider webs off, but the damn spider keeps rebuilding them. […]
Little A, in the washroom at the local park, while drying her hands under the hot air dryer and gazing contemplatively at the trash can next to it: “You know, if I could just divert this air flow over *there*, I could make the perfect weapon…” Me: “Really? How would you do that?” Little A: […]

Axel (Sabotabby’s boyfriend), on Facebook: “Headed to Chuck E. Cheese’s for Little A’s birthday. Either I like this kid, or I want to be on her good side when she takes over the world.”
Sabotabby, to a shopkeeper in a toy store, before Little A’s birthday: “What would you recommend for a 7-year-old mad scientist who wants to take over the world?” I have the best friends, AND the best kid! (BTW, it turned out to be an air-powered rocket kit that fired foam rubber rockets with flashy LEDs […]
