Overheard

{Interesting Comparison by Emily}
"Eewww.... I just put some water in this Princess cup and it tastes like mouse blood!"

{Unique Compliment by Emily}

"Wow Abby... you look flowerless!", meaning to say "fabulous"as she modeled her new Easter clothes.

{Financial Analyst Style Response by Daddy}

After having to say goodbye to our dog of 11 years, Noah began a conversation with me about his desire for a new pet.  The conversation took an unexpected turn when Vance overheard it and chimed in!

Noah:  Mom, could we at least get a small pet?  Like something that doesn't cost very much money.  Like a RAT!  Did you know that rats only cost between $8 and $12?

My response:  Lots of yucks and other commentary about how disgusting RATS are and about how we will NOT be getting a pet rat!

Vance's response:  "Son... this would be a great time to give you your first lesson in supply and demand economics...." followed by a discussion of WHY rats are such cheap pets in light of supply and demand :)  

{A Good Tattle-Tell}
Emily was relaying a conversation Noah had with our next door neighbor and she said... 
"Noah told Brennan that his mom is really good at taking care of kids."

{Emily's Disney Standard Pre-Ride Question}

"Will there be blood?  Or fire?"

{Molly's Disney Standard Post-Ride Response}

When asked whether or not she liked the ride, she responded...
"I go sleep." {which I later figured out meant that she closed her eyes!}
