Jimmy, as Danny was driving a toy car on his head: “Cut it out!”
Danny: “No! Cut it out to YOU!”
**********
Jimmy (in a serious voice, teaching his brother to not touch electrical plugs): “I know a lot about plugs. Plugs are really easy to break. They’re plastic.”
He then burst out laughing. “Ha! I made that up!”
*********
Me, describing what happened in the Little Mermaid book: “Ariel and Eric beat Ursula.”
Jimmy: “Like God beat death?”
********
After picking up some donut holes for a snack, I asked Jimmy what ingredients we could include in a dessert we would make for that night.
Jimmy: “Donuts?”
I laughed and jokingly replied, “Maybe!”
Jimmy: “We could put something in the donuts…like fruit loops!”

Jimmy and I were talking about a toy that didn’t have any eyes. Jimmy asked me how it could see.
Me: “You can be his eyes.”
Jimmy, in exasperation: “Mom!! But I can’t get my eyes out!”
********
Jimmy looked up at me as I held my keys in my teeth while I was juggling various objects in my hands.
Jimmy: “What’s in your mouth?”
Me, mumbling with my mouth full: “My keys.”
Jimmy: “Yuck…no…disgusting is the word I’m looking for.”
********
Me: “Danny, don’t go out there. Daddy might run you over with the tractor.”
Danny: “Then the tractor won’t work?”
*******
Danny burped. He quietly said, “Excuse me.”
I laughed: “You’re excused.”
Danny, irritated, replied: “No! I excuse me!”
