---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mom, you make things taste good!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While on the toilet: Mom, I’m just going to sit here a while and think.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn: Mom, can I tell you something?

Me: Sure, Finn, what is it?

Finn: I want to ride on my airplane that’s up on my ceiling, but I have to be little, tiny, tiny.

Me: Yeah, you’re too big to ride on that airplane.

Finn: But when I’m growed up, I’ll be big like this [reaching for the airplane] I can get my airplane and I can magic myself little and climb in the airplane with the spiders.

Me: Spiders! Maybe you can magic the spiders away.

Finn: Yeah, I can magic kill the spiders away.

Me: But what if they’re nice spiders like Charlotte, and they tell you salutations, which means greetings, or hello.

Finn: Yeah, Charlotte said, “Greetings!”

Me: No, she said, “Salutations!”

Finn: Yeah, and Wilbur said, “What does salutations mean?”

Me: That’s right. Now go to sleep.

Finn: Did PaPa eat a bug?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While washing his hands: Only I can reach my flaucets and you can reach your flaucets.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn: Mom, you know what I’m doin’?

Me: No, what?

Finn: Sewin’.

Me: Oh.

Finn: Would you like to see the hanger I sewed? And a mustache?

[He found a bunch of pipe cleaners]

Finn with a bucket full of weeds: Mom, do you want to come help me plant some food?

Me: Sure, what kind of food?

Finn: Good food.

Me: What kind of good food?

Finn: Potatoes, French fries, mashed potatoes, pears, and curly fries.

Finn, taking an oat off of his oatmeal bread: I’m going to plant this seed and grow a bread tree.

Audrie: You can’t grow a bread tree! You have to use flour and water to make bread.

Finn: Okay, I’ll plant this seed with flour and water and grow a bread tree.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn: Mom, I love you.

Me: I love you, too.

Finn: Mom, let’s be friends.

Me: Okay, I’d like that.

I love hearing from you all, so comment away! I will do my best to respond, but if I haven't, it's probably because I'm teaching my kids, or am knee deep in paint, or have lost my mind.
