We’re watching Home Alone for the first time. Brin is just aghast at the audacity of the villains doing their various crimes. She says, “ You know what I would do? I would sit on their faces… and toot on them!”
Micah learns a song at preschool and starts singing it around the house.
“My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty. There’s nothing Micah cannot do.”
Sarah raises and eyebrow and asks, “Did you say ‘Micah’ or ‘My God’?”
Micah says with enthusiasm, “Micah!”
“Daddy,” says Micah, inviting me to play marbles with him. “Let’s be a teamwork!”
Today Sarah brought the kids to the dollar store to buy a few things. Micah saw a necklace made of glowing Christmas lights, and he said, “I want to buy that for Dad.” So he spent his own money to buy me a random gift. 😭😭😭
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.”
We drive past an empty lot where prairie dogs have taken over. Brinley exclaims, “Ooh! …ground… hogs. Wait, what are they called?”
“Prairie dogs.”
“Prairie dogs are the worst word because people can always forget the name.”
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 asks what day it is.
“What today is tonight?”
