Kid Cuteness, November 4, 2014

Me: "Sis, why are you crying?"

Sis: "Bubs bit me!"

Luke (in explanation): "I'm a shark and Sissy is a seal! We are both sharks and we are eating seals!"

(This on the heels of a very graphic children's book about sharks.)

(That my husband picked out at the library, I might add.)

Me (trying not to laugh): "Well, let's just PRETEND to eat seals from now on, OK?"

Sis (hugging her Daddy's legs and trying to look as cute as humanly possible): "Daddy, don't go to work! Stay here with meeeeeee!"

Me to Luke (in the wake of a lot of racket): "What are you guys doing?"

Luke: "We're 'cock-a-doodle-doing'!"

Sis, running away from me naked, Luke at her side, after a bath instead of getting into her PJs: "We're on the loose, Mommy! We're on the loose!"

Luke, loudly and whine-ily complaining about his dinner, which was served on a three-compartment plate, one compartment of which has a picture of a cloud: "But I don't WANT my mac-and-cheese on the cloud!!!"

Sis, with Daddy bouncing her, wanting to be suspended in the air vs just going up and down: "Bounce me Daddy! No, hover bounce me!" 

Daddy: "It's time to take off your superhero costumes. It's time to be your alter-ego. Now you're 'Regular Bubs.' And 'Regular Sis.'

Luke: "Hey, Regular Daddy!"

Sis to me one morning, when she didn't want to hear stories: "Don't read Mommy, it's driving me CRAZY!"
