More from the archives
Ida: "Look what I found in my popsicle. A popsicle stick! It's sticking out!"
Theo: "Mom, you and Dad don't have any stuff."
Me: "What? We don't have any stuff? What kind of stuff?"
Theo: "Stuff like a teddy bear or a teddy rabbit, or a teddy anything."
Ida: "I'm gonna get a sword 'cause I saw an ant in the kitchen. So I'm gonna get a sword and... sword him."
Ida: "If a ladybug and snake asked us, 'Hey guys, are you food?' we would say, 'NO! We're guys!!' "
Ida (playing with an empty cardboard box) "Theo, do you want to sit on this nice warm box?"
Ida: "Mom, when you comb my hair it makes my hair wiggle."
Ida: "Mom, can I play a game on your phone?"
Me: "No, not right now."
Ida: "OK.... can I play checkers?"
Me: "Yes!"
Theo: "I'm gonna go be a dinosaur with Cutter Man. Cutter Man! Oh, Cutter Man! 'Yes, I'm over here cutting.' "
Several of Theo's toy guys have names, including but not limited to Cutter Man, Other One, Adder Wan (that's the sci-fi version of "Other One"), and Juicy White Grape.
Ida: "Bad people make you do bad things. Like killing bugs--that's a bad thing. And killing your mom and dad, and putting lamps on tables, those are bad things also. Or spilling food or taking pictures off the walls."
What a bunch of weirdos.

You are wise to write these down - you guys said lots of strange things - and I can't remember any of them!!
Miss you all!!
cutter man just made me laugh out loud. as did juicy white grape.
I need to learn more about juicy white grape and the dangers of putting lamps on tables.
That Ida is killing me. "Sword him!"
I love that she found popsicle stick in her popsicle. And I didn't know that killing your parents was just as bad as putting lamps n tables or taking pictures off the walls. Your kids are the funniest!
I agree with your mom. I wish I had written down the funny things Ryan said. Its hard to remember them later!
