Sam (2.5): Is there anything you need?
Mom: I need my water.
Sam: I’ll check to see if it needs filling. Oh it does. (Goes to fill water) Here you go cutie pie.

Side note, this was the night before Josh was born.

Sam’s first afternoon with the new quiet time rule. He’s sucking on his monkey binkies sitting in a box on the bed.

Sam (2.5): (crying) The monkey poked me in the eye! And he didn’t say sorry!

While walking back from the dog run
Sam (2.5): My room is messy.
Dad: Oh. Should we clean it up when we get home?
Sam: No.
Dad: No?
Sam: No, it’s pretty cool.
Dad: Oh, pretty cool, huh? Is that what the kids are doing these days?
Sam: Yeah, that’s what the kids are doing. It’s pretty cool.

Sam: Yucko dog poop. No fair no fair. Ah hilarious.

*Not really. I think this one came out of the blue over breakfast. But it’s still quite accurate.

Dad was changing a lightbulb in the kitchen and placed the old incandescent glass bulb on the table.

Sam (2.5y) comes over, climbs up on the chair, picks up the lightbulb and immediately throws it down on the floor where it smashed into bits.

Dad, astonished: What were you thinking?

Sam, equally astonished: I thought it would bounce!?
