Leif – (walking up to me with his hands on his hips and a stern look on his face) “Do you think I might want some marshmallows?”

Me – “Well, I bet you do.”

Leif – “Good.  Then you may bring me some.  I’ll be with the kitties, and by with the kitties I mean in my room!”

Later on –

Toby – (seeing Leif making a mess with his yogurt on the kitchen table) “Let me get you a napkin.”

Leif – “I already have a napkin, and by napkin I mean my tongue!!”

(I think someone’s been watching too much Phineas and Ferb!  And by Phineas and Ferb I mean Dr. Doofinshmirtz)

Leif (singing and dancing) – “Mightin Machines!  Friggin Mightin Machines!  Workin’ for you, doin’ mightin things, they’re , uh uh, Mightin Machines!”

(I find it interesting that my son would assume they said “friggin mighty machines”, instead of “big and mighty machines”.)

(Well, actually in the living room)

Leif – “DADDY!  DADDY! Mommy’s knitting you some blue and yellow socks FOR A PRESENT!!!”

Me (whispered to Leif) – “Leif, that’s a secret.  Don’t tell daddy!”

Leif – “Never mind, Daddy.  It’s a surprise!!”

Whew!  Glad we avoided that slip up!

L – “Hey!  Kaia!  Let’s play the throw-up kitty game!!”

L – “Mommy, I’m still hungry!  Can I have some gum?”

Me – “Leif, gum won’t help you grow big and strong.”

L – “But, I don’t want to grow up!”

K – “Well, save your money, Leif, ’cause tickets to Neverland are super expensive!”

Leif – “Hey Mommy!  Look at this boogie!  The wet one!!  It looks just like a snail!”
