Me: What'd you do today, boys?
Collin: Sat around and thought, thought, thought.
Me: Owen, ________?
Owen: What. (not a question. a statement. every time you say his name. almost like, "What, Mom. Are you talking again and can it possibly be so important?" He's 2.)
Me: Owen, ________?
Owen: Oh. (not, "Oh, sorry, Mom ..." just oh. a statement in and of itself.)
Me: You can choose ____ or _____.
Collin: Well, either way, I win. Now I know what you are talking about. Either way.
*Collin went through an "actually" phase last year when every was "actually" this and "actually" that. Now, everything is "either way."
Collin: Mom, Baby Kate doesn't hardly have any eyebrows. When she gets bigger, she'll get them. She doesn't have a brain either. I have a brain sometimes. When I remember to use it. Either way ...
Collin: Does Baby Kate have any talent? I have lots of talent. Especially in my legs. And my bowling arm. (Then later.) Oooh. Hurt my bowling arm. I have to take care of it.
Tell Collin it's VERY important to take good care of that bowling arm!
