Purple Preference

Luke brought home his leftover school supplies and I noticed something a bit odd about his crayons...

He's quick to tell you his favorite color is purple but I think he might have an addiction!

At one point this year, his teacher told me he had a meltdown over a purple crayon.  I just asked him about it as obviously he had enough purple crayons.  He looked at me, frowned, and said, "It was a purple pencil!!"

I'm Probably Tonto

Luke just said, "Hi Ho Sliver - on to Target!!"

And no, that's not a typo... He really said Sliver.

Spanish Therapy Really Paying Off

The book we are listening to right now has a narrator with a British accent. Ryan told me he didn't like the guy's voice. I told them that I loved British accents so much I just might make all 3 of them speak that way from now on.
Luke said, "OK! Hola!"

Best. Joke. Ever.

Luke just came home from a party and told me, "I heard the funniest joke ever at the party. Why did Princess Leia kiss Darth Vader?"
I said I didn't know and he looked at me blankly and said, "I don't either. I forgot."

Nana Speed

Luke was talking about how fast he could run this morning - here's the conversation that followed...
Ryan: Oh yeah, well I can beat you.
Me (to Ryan): Oh yeah, well I can beat you!
Ryan: I know. But you are older.
Me: Older doesn't mean much. I bet you can beat Nana and she's older.
Ryan: Sure I could beat Nana. I'd really just have to walk!

Spanish Impediment

Luke spent a lot of time telling me about things that he worked on with his Spanish teacher. After much confusion, I realized he meant his speech teacher. Guess that explains why we are still taking speech!

Poor Mommy

We were talking about the upcoming important holiday of April Fools Day - Andrew is concerned that he won't have much time to fool us with school and baseball that day.
Luke was listening and said, "Hey I've got a good one! We can call Daddy and say Mommy's dead!"
Oh yeah - that would be a great prank.

Misery

Don said Griffin looked miserable today. (We think she is about to lay eggs).
Luke said, "Yep. She's a girl. Girls are miserable."

Ye Olde 1980s

I heard Ryan telling Andrew about a football record he was reading about in a book. He said, "It was the farthest a ball was thrown. It was thrown by Kurt Warner. He's dead."
I told him I was pretty sure that Kurt Warner wasn't dead.
He replied, "He has to be dead by now. It says he played in the '80s."

Minions Would Be Useful

After a gross conversation, I finally told Luke and Andrew to talk about something besides barf.
Luke quickly replied, "OK! Let's talk about minions..."

Girl Problems

Conversation between Luke and I on the way home from church yesterday..
Luke: I used to be at table 1 at school but then I was at table 3. Then I went to table 2 then I went back to table 1. Now I am at table 3.
Me: Why did you move so much? Too much talking with Henry?
Luke: No. Henry and me decided we wouldn't talk at the tables at all. The other kids have to move cause they talk so Henry or me gets put in their spot. We are quiet.
Me: So you expect me to believe you don't talk at all at school?
Luke: Well I talk on the carpet. I can't be quiet on the carpet.
Me: Why not?
Luke: Sophia pokes me on the carpet. I have to talk to tell her to stop. Then she lies and says she's not poking me and I get in trouble.
Me: Sounds like Sophia has a problem with telling the truth.
Luke: OH! Sophia has LOTS of problems!

YOLO

Andrew: "Oh I know what YOLO means - You Obviously Love Oreos."

Remind Me

Andrew was doing homework and just asked me for the present tense of the word reminded. So I said, "Hey, can you remind me to do something?" He looked up and said, "Sure. What?"

Hopefully It's Edible

As I was making dinner, Luke walked by, looked at it and said, "What are you trying to make?"

New Year, Same Old Thing

Luke was sorely disappointed to learn that when school starts back tomorrow after Christmas break, he will still be in Kindergarten. He was convinced that because of the new year, he would be headed to first grade!

I Thought His Name was Sharkey?

For no apparent reason, Luke has been signing his name as "Luke Pig" on all of his schoolwork. Oink.

Fight Club

Ryan and Andrew were discussing karate today and which belts their old instructors had.
Andrew - "Miss Pepper was a 5th degree black belt."
Ryan - "Her husband was an 8th degree black belt!"
Andrew - "Oh man I'd like to see them fight!"
Overhearing all of this I told them that he wasn't actually her husband - they have been divorced for a long time.
Ryan yelled out, "Whoa! Then I'd really like to see them fight!"

The Two Other Lukes

Luke commented today that "it's weird that there are 2 other Lukes."  Don asked if he meant there were 2 other Lukes in his class and he replied, "No!  Star Wars and the Bible!"

Opposite of Being Hit with the Ugly Stick

Don was telling a story about a friend of his in high school that got smacked by another kid's dad for doing something rude. The boys thought it was hilarious and I said that "in the olden days", any parent could smack any kid that deserved it. It wasn't like today where people got in trouble for that.
Andrew said, "Whoa. So you mean a grown-up could go up to a kid in a store and hit them and say, 'You are too ugly?'"

Sigh-cology

Andrew said this to me on the way home from school today...
"I don't know why but Emma keeps looking at me and sighing. She did it all day long."
After I quit laughing, I told him that she was either in love with him or really irritated by him. Don told him that it might be both.
