Marian: (talking to me while on bed rest) Why do we have to do all the work while you just sit there?
Jack: (in a sincerely cheerful voice) Don't worry Mares, some day you'll have kids and they can do all the work for you!
Marian: I'm never having kids!
Jack: You're a girl so you have to have kids.
Marian: But I'm going to be a cow girl and if I have kids I can't ride my horse whenever I want to.
Jack: But kids will do all your work. That's why you have kids.
Marian: Ah! I'm just going to be a cow girl
Lucy: Stupid Jack! (Although I was glad Lucy has mostly given up the phrase "poopy head" to express any frustration she feels, it is really REALLY unfortunate that she has replaced it with this. Especially since he rarely has anything to do with her frustrations. Poor Jack! He really is so good to her.)
Jack: (after spending the day at the lake with cousins) Mom, I know what I want for Christmas. I want Wave Runners...oh but not for me. I want them for dad. (Sure you do Jack!)
Lucy: Oh my heck!
Marian: Jack!!! I am sick and tired of your lies! (yelled at a bagel shop because Jack was telling "stories" (aka lies) again. I think he was telling his cousin that Chad drinks 3 sodas for breakfast every morning. The nerve!
Lucy: I want my go cougars! (her BYU t-shirt)
Marian: Preschool is the best place on earth
Lucy: No! I not nap. I go down my slide. (Lucy would live in our backyard if we let her)
Jack: (at 7 a.m. dressed and bike helmet on) Mom...mom...mom..are you awake? I'm going to take a quick bike ride. I'll be back later.
Lucy: Oh man! (can you tell she is experiencing some frustration these days?)
