Micah comes downstairs having just dressed himself in shorts and a t-shirt. “Daddy! I dressed myself in short-sleeve shirt and short-sleeve pants.”

Micah pleads for another piece of Halloween candy. Sarah relents, then Micah turns to me and says, “Mommy said ‘sure’! Better be quick.”

Micah on Halloween candy: “Whoppers are so fun because they can whop in your mouth.”

Micah: “I want a berry with 100 seeds.”

Sarah: “Uh, strawberry?”

Micah: “I don’t know! It has 100 seeds!”

Sarah: “What color is it?”

Micah: “I don’t know. It has 100 seeds!”

Me: “Here’s a picture of a strawberry.”

Micah: “Yes! See, I told you!”

Micah is singing a song while riding his bike. He stops next to me, asking, “Hey dad, do you like my song? It’s called Air in Your Eyeball.

He sings it as he zooms away.

Micah is at the playground singing silly songs full of nonsense words. I ask him what he’s singing about. “Crimes,” he says cheerfully.

Brinley has a talk with Micah about heaven and how she can’t wait to see him hug God. The way she chose to start the conversation? “Micah, I’m excited to see you die.”

Micah, on being rich: “I got lots of coins in my pinkybink.”
