some of the stuff we hear around the house

"Hey Dad, I don't have any underwear on."

"Mom, if the baby in your tummy is a boy, I'm going to name him Bruce Wayne"

Connor shoots Matt. Matt falls to the floor and dies, then gets back up. Connor says, "You respawned??"

being 4

So Connor's 4 years old now and he thinks that makes a world of difference from being 3 years old. Today in the grocery store he asked to carry our cart. (the little hand-held kind) It had a few things in it, which were a little heavy for him.

Mom: Is that too heavy for you Connor? Do you want me to carry it?

Connor: I'm 4 now. I'll deal with it.

preparation

A few minutes before we left to go to the park, Connor tells me he's going to pack us a snack. What does he pack you ask? doritos, triscuits, scooby doo fruit snacks, fruit roll ups and 2 chocolates...for mom. All of which he puts in his elmo backpack and slings over his shoulder.

phrases we heard at christmas

"A hat!! I will wear this!!"

Mom: Hey Connor, look...Santa ate your cookies.

Connor: Oh! He left a part! (pops the small piece in his mouth)

(after seeing a small bike with flames on it and a teal christmas tree) "Which one's mine?"
