At the (very good) insistence of my friend,
I'm endeavoring to post some of Theo's best quotes here,
in an effort to remember them.
At a rest stop in the desert somewhere between CA and AZ:
Theo: "Mom I'm hungry"
Me: "are you hungry for a snack or for some lunch?"
Theo: "Mom, my mouth just wants to chew on something!"
Fleet Farm with Dad:
Theo: "I'm tired of walking Dad"
Shawn: "oh ya?"
Theo: "But Dad, I'm tired of carrying myself!"
In the van before dropping the kids off at Tae Kwon Do:
Me: "Kids, I'm dropping you off and I have to quickly run to the library for a pick up. I'll be right back. Celene, you are in charge of Theo until I get back. Theo, she's watching you, so listen to her."
Theo: "Okay, but usually Miles remote controls me."
Theo in garden:
"Mom the bugs think I'm a drink."
Oh here's an Eli quote:
Me: "Eli I miss your singing. Why don't you sing with me in the van anymore?"
Eli: rolling eyes "Mom I'm too old to do that now."
Me: sob
Getting ready to leave to go skate-boarding and scootering by the lake:
Me: "okay it's time to go, get your shoes and coats on!"
Theo heads in the wrong direction...to his room.
Me: "Theo, what are you doing?"
Theo: "I'm changing into pants?"
Me: "why? it's nice out, you can keep your shorts on."
Theo: "no! Because I'll lose my skin!"
Me: "Theo stop farting in the van. It stinks!"
Theo: "But I can't stop farting! God's doing it."
Me: "It's not God, Theo, it's definitely your body."
Theo: "well He made my body!"
