"I do want a brother, but not a little brother. I want a big brother that can play the Wii with me all day - someone like Tarl." -- Esher (at Age 5) - answer to question "do you wish you had a brother?" Tarl is his 28 year old cousins-in-law.
"Look momma, it's a hospital-car." -- Esher (at Age 5) pointing to an ambulance next to them.
"i don't really like talking to girls i don't know cause then they'll like me and want to marry me." -- Esher, Age 5.
