Penguins!

Kaiya: Dad, is your brain sleepy?
Tom: No.
Kaiya: Then you should use it.

Kaiya: Morgan, what where you playing?
Morgan: Because.
Kaiya: Because why?
Morgan Because.

Mysti: Look at this, Morgan. I can stick this spoon to my nose.
Morgan: I need to do that!
Mysti: OK. I’ll just help you.
Morgan: No I because.

Morgan (singing): Old Mc Donald’s had a farm E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm he had some stickies E-I-E-I-O.

Morgan: Look it’s a penguin *bock bock*.
Morgan (singing): Penguin penguin little fishy in the sea.
Mysti: Morgan, penguins do swim, but they are birds.
Morgan: Oh…..*tweet tweet*.

The crying... The crying...

Tom: Morgan, you need a belt.
Morgan: No, I don’t want to need a belt any more!
Tom: That made no sense. Were you trying to make sense.
Morgan: No.

Kaiya (hugging Tom‘s arm): I am just so snuggly to day. We can never stop the snuggles! We just need to snuggle forever.

Kaiya: Daddy, I have a good idea. Whoever stays in the tub the longest can have a piece of candy.
Tom: You are the only one in the tub though.
Kaiya (big smile): I know that was the idea!

Morgan (screaming): I want Mommy ti brush my teeth!
Tom: She did brush your teeth.
Morgan (screaming): I want Mommy ti brush my teeth!
Tom: She did already.
Morgan (screaming): I want Mommy ti brush my teeth!
Tom: She did. I know she brushed your teeth.
Morgan (screaming): I want Mommy ti brush my teeth!
Tom (louder): She did brush your teeth!

Mysti (to her brother): Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to go on a slapping spree?

A good choice.

Kaiya: Mom, you just get older and older every day.

Morgan: No! I no want to go to Grandema’s house any more… I want to go home.

Kaiya: Mommy, when I’m a grownup, I won’t bug Morgan. But when Morgan’s a grownup, she’ll never stop the bugging.

Kaiya: Mom, you have two choices, one: you can let me go to a friend’s house, or two: you can say no and I will be mad and sad all at the same time. Now make a good choice.

Morgan: Mom, I am so full. Can I have some of that bread?

Mysti: Morgan, say ah.
Viola: Aaahhhh!

School, friends and Orca Whales

Mysti: Doesn't your brother have an android phone or something?
Tom: It's a Palm Pre.
Mysti: When is your brother's birthday?
Tom: I don't know.
Mysti: *giggle*
Tom: What?
Mysti: I love that you know what kind of phone he has, but you don't know his birthday. The male social dynamics are very entertaining to me.

(Sadie is the girl across the street.)
Kaiya: "Mom, I am just going out to get a quick Sadie."

Kaiya: Mom, I learned lots of things at school.
Me: What did you learn today?!
Kaiya: I don't know. I can't remember

Kaiya: I love Morgan, Evalyn and Viola. Lets keep them.

Morgan: Mommy, Kaiya is gone. Now I no bug her!

Morgan: Mwa ha ha ha ha! I sitting in your chair, Kaiya.

Kaiya: Mommy, with that necklace on you are just as pretty as Ponyo. You look just as pretty as a fish.

(Morgan's new favorite toy is a stuffed Orca Whale.)
Morgan: It isn’t a flipper! It is an orca tail!

Morgan : *shouting* Mom where are you!
Mysti: I am just over here.
Morgan: *loud whisper* Shhh. The orca is sleeping!

Mysti: Morgan, do you want to push a button?
Morgan: Yes! (pushes the button) teehee.

Kaiya: Mom, can I paint a picture for you? You can paint one for me too. It will be so romantic. *sigh*
