Jim: “Susie, do you like bacon?”
Susie: “No.”
Jim: “How do you know you don’t like it?”
Susie: “God just made me that way.”

Jim, holding up a dessert that the girls helped me make: “Susie, is there bacon in this?”
Susie: “No! Bacon POWDER!” (I wonder if she’d also call it “bacon soda”…)

Me, after Jim navigated the car into a tight space: “Hon, you’re a pro!”
Susie: “Did you know that a crow is a type of bird?”
Me: “No, Daddy’s not a CROW – he’s a PRO!”

Becky: “My bed smells funny.”
Me: “What does it smell like?”
Becky: “Like sheep’s fur.”

Susie: “What day is it?”
Me: “Saturday.”
Susie: “That means it’s almost time for Christmas!!”

Becky wrapped a blanket over her head like the Mary she’s seen in a Nativity scene, turned to Susie and said: “I am Mary. You are the donkey.”

I told the girls that I’d only take them to the mall if they were on their best behavior. I said, “I don’t take whiny kids to the mall.” Without missing a beat, Susie replied, “Well, we better leave Danny at home.”
Priceless!!!!!
