Gabe Quotes

I need to write down more of these. This kid is hilarious...

M: What do you want to get your brother for his birthday?

G: I know! A chewie pirate ship!

M: What is that?

G: A pirate ship that you can chew on.

M: Hm. I don’t even know where to find that.

G: I know! A baby pirate costume!

G: Can you Marco Polo Alexis, my old teacher, and ask him what color garbage trucks were in the old days, when pirates couldn’t see?

M: Pirates couldn’t see?

G: Back before they had lanterns they’d go under the deck and it was really helpful if they could see.

G: Maybe Mable (Nathan and Cassie’s rabbit) is going to grow babies. Wait, do rabbits grow babies?

M: Yes

G: Or maybe he had an infection like Lucy had.

Um, it was an operation, not an infection...

M: Is there anything else you want to take to Gram and Gramps’ house?

G: Yes. Um, my mop.

M: No. You are not taking the mop.

G: But Mom. Pirates use it to swab the deck.

We had some major drama involving certain a little boy who found a worm and needed some dirt for it, but wasn’t listening and obeying his mama and the worm ended up getting thrown into a bag of potting soil. After some strong words and discipline for not listening, I made a big deal out of the fact that we needed to find this worm and save him because he was stuck in a bag of potting soil and he was going to die because someone didn’t listen to his mom.

G: But Mom. He’s in dirt and worms eat dirt.

M: Yes, but he doesn’t have water.

G: We can put water in the bag.

M: No. We’re not watering the bag of potting soil. The poor worm is going to dig and dig and then he’ll get the the wall and say “oh no! I can’t get out!”

G: Mom. Worms don’t talk. And they’re blind.

We never found the worm. Poor little guy...
