C (girl, age 2): Rachel?
Me: Yes, Courtney?
C: Penguins are better than ducks.
Me: Okay, Courtney.
S (girl, age 4): That's a fishy face. That's a kissy face. That's a grumpy face. That's a ghost face. That's a black ghost face. Thats a closing book face.
C: That's Sidney's water bottle. That's my water bottle. If Sidney drinks from mine, she'll get germs in it.
C: That plate is for Santa's cookies, but Santa's not real.
A (boy, age 7): (At the office). Oh, I just sit around and watch the news.
Me: Which news?
A: They're trying to wreck a car. That's the bad news. The good news is the president is getting married.
Me: I really love that book.
A (said totally sincerely): Are you going to marry the book?
Me: No. I want to marry a boy. Not a book.
A: You can always ask Santa for it for Christmas.
Me (unspoken): A boy or a book?
Me: Yes, Courtney?
C: Penguins are better than ducks.
Me: Okay, Courtney.

i also would like to marry a boy, but sometimes i feel finding a good book that changes my life is much easier then finding a boy that will do the same thing.
