There are three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who can't.
"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.
"They want me to pee in a cup even when there is a toilet right there???" -- Esher, confused at the doctor about the whole 'pee in a cup' thing.
"Dad, how much does a penny cost?" -- Tristan
"This is a short-cut, but a long one." -- Esher, while showing Lissette how to get back home from a neighbour's house.
"They sure write a lot and their handwriting isn't very good." -- Tristan's observation while walking around New York, as she looked at all of the graffiti.
"My hand ankle hurts." -- Paris, explaining that she hurt her wrist.
"In the temple families can be sealed together forever so they can’t get away from each other, even when they go to heaven." -- One of Paris' first testimonies in Sacrament meeting when she was 4.
"This game seems really easy - what, you get 4 chances to go 10 yards? Each side seems to find a way to screw that up though." -- Lissette's comment to me after my explaining to her the rules of football, about 1/2 the way thorugh the Chargers / Colts playoff game.
"Our car would be perfect if it made hot chocolate." -- Tristan's comment on the way back to the car after sledding.
"No mom, I think my tooth misses me." -- Tristan, being asked by Lissette if she missed her just pulled tooth.
"Then I'll be 7, then 8, then 9. And then I'll be a dad. And then I'll be tired of growing up and I'll die." -- Esher, telling Lissette his future plans.
"I think every year I get more and more beautiful." -- Paris, after showing Lissette her latest school pictures.
"I'm nice and I'm also pretty." -- Tristan’s answer in primary when asked what one of her talents was.
"OK Dad, you grab Paris and I'll carry Tristan." -- Esher (age 3), offering to help me carry the girls upstairs to bed after they fell asleep. Needless to say, he couldn't lift her.
"Mom, I just don't know what they are going to teach me. I'm so good already." -- Paris, after her first Art Class
"Mom, I'm trying to sleep but my sleepers broken" -- Esher, coming into our room after being in bed for 5 minutes
Dusty: "Do you wish I was your Dad?"
Paris: "No, I just want your money." -- Paris, after Dusty gave her a hand full of quarters for her 7th birthday.
