I wish I could remember all the funny things my kids say and do...

So, in the interest of recording as much as possible of their fleeting childhoods, here are a few recent comments I can actually remember:

Felicity calls Taekwondo, "Kwan-do-do-do."

Victor, today: "Felicity likes bothering me more than she likes lip gloss."

A certain 4-y-o standing just outside the shower, dripping wet and buck naked, belting out the song, "Oh Christmas Tree..." 

In a fit of rage over something terribly important, I'm sure (ahem), the same 4-y-o struggles to conjur up the meanest insult she can.  To her father, she shouts, "You head block!!"  (too many Peanuts episodes, perhaps...)

One morning, I surprised the kids with a chocolate and vanilla cereal.  Felic was picking out all the chocolates.  She informed me of her mission: "Mommy, I'm looking for all the husband pieces." 

Two mothers at ballet separately commented on how much their daughters appreciate Lucy's kindness toward them.  :) 

Driving past the 'Occupy _______ ' protestors, Lucy states, "Yeah right, as if they're going to change anybody's mind about anything..."  (Chip off the ol' block.)

Mr. 6-y-o while watching a ballet rehearsal (with his mind obviously elsewhere): "Do ninjas use sulfuric acid or any liquid weapons?"

Ignace, explaining to me that his team would play another called the 'Colts': "Don't worry mom, it's not the professionals.  And football and basketball teams cannot play together - it's impossible."

update:  I remembered another one...
Felic woke up yesterday and announced, "Mom, I had a scary dream about Grandma surfing!"
