The Plan

"Mom, wouldn't it be cool if Teddy lived long enough to meet my kids?"

"It would. Are you planning on having kids soon?"

"No. After college I'm going to live with the guys in a guys' apartment for awhile and then I'm not sure. I do know that part though. I mean, I'm only six and three-quarters."

May I?

"Bob, may I please have some of your ice cream?'

"No... I mean yes... I mean okay... I mean sort of... Like... Maybe some but not a lot?"

"Sure about that?"

"No... I mean yes... I mean come on, Mom."

Making the Most of It

 
"Bob, it's getting late. We need to leave the park in five minutes."

"Okay! Only five minutes left for destruction, you guys!"

"Mom? Can I get this chocolate?"

"No, not today."

"How about this one?"

"No, Bob. Come back."

"But, Mom!"

"Bob, now please."

"No."

"Robert, I will dance in this aisle. I mean it. All around you."

"Stop! No! Okay! I'm coming!"

Train of Thought

"Mom? Can you buy books at the library?"

"Our library actually does have a used book store upstairs, but usually you just borrow books from a library."

"Well I think we're going to have to figure out a way to buy The Hobbit. It's long and we're not done yet."

"That's okay. We can re-new it."

"Oh, that's a good idea... also when you cut my fingernails at nighttime I think we should call it finger-night."
