Overheard

Here are some random things the kids have said… I may or may not have posted them here already.

Trav: Playing is freedom in not having to follow rules.

Elliot: Was it a movie or on the stage?

Trav: A brother is a friend who lives in your house.

Trav: If you believe in yourself, you can do anything. And that includes holding up a snake axe.

Trav: Mom, will the baby be born on the hard surface or on the carpet?

Elliot: Mom, this Christmas tree is splendid!

Elliot: I didn’t wear a jacket and I wasn’t cold, not even a tink! I was zero legs cold.

Elliot: When a balloon hits a thorn on Jupiter, it will pop and fall back down to Earth.

Elliot: My dad makes computer games.
Anthony: My dad makes money.

Elliot: I don’t need a dance class. I already know some wacky moves.

Elliot: God has the whole world in his hands. And all the trees and all the cars and all the steering wheels!
Georgia: Well, we have the steering wheels in *our* hands.

Elliot: I’m going to be a train conductor when I grow up.
Trav: And I’ll be the freight!

Elliot: Trav, we’re best friends, right?
Trav: yes
Elliot: okay!

Elliot: I didn’t know these juice boxes were shaped like rectangular prisms!

Elliot: Monster trucks are always funny, especially when they slip on banana peels.

Trav: You get what you get and you don’t get umsep.

Elliot: That pizza is the shape of a full moon!

Elliot: Mom, you made me the wrong thing for dinner. I know why Trav doesn’t want to eat his dinner. Because it’s yocky!

Elliot: Look at this beautiful view from Earth!
