Blowing & Drifting

It’s been a while since I posted some good kid quotes, and since I’m going to miss the girls a lot while I’m attending my grandfather’s funeral in the U.P., I thought I’d post a few from the last couple weeks:

Genevieve, disagreeing with me: “You don’t know the truth, big man.”

Julia: “Tomorrow for breakfast, I want a sporn and fook, okay? Sporn and fook? What did I just say?”

Genevieve, getting into her chair for dinner: “Well, here we are again, sitting at the table, eating watermelon.”

Julia, bored with our outdoor games: “I’m getting out of here and going back to my castle.”

Genevieve, wearing toy butterfly wings: “I’m a fairy, and I just turned you into a handsome dad.”

Me, telling them about my new diet plan: “I’ve decided that I’m going to eat a bigger dinner so that I don’t get hungry later and have an unhealthy snack later.”
Julia, unimpressed: “That’s a good idea, but you could just have a healthy snack.”

Genevieve, frustrated: “If Julia doesn’t stop being mean to me, I’m going to go to Chicago and live for 15 years.”
