Favorite Ending

Gordon said, "They say the world will end in five billion years. That's really sad because that's my favorite number."

Garfield

Gordon is memorizing the US Presidents and was practicing them in a little song before he went to bed last night. Ellis listened intently as Gordon was singing them. When he finished, Ellis said, "I like how they included Garfield."

Faces

Last weekend we went to an art exhibit. They had a metal bust with a beaded skirt on display. I was looking at it with Gordon and he said to me, "Mom, can you see the face in this?" I asked him what face.  He pointed at the breasts and belly button and said, "Eye, eye, mouth." I said, "I can see how you see that but look at it this way, breast, breast, belly button." He looked at it for a minute and said, "Yeah, but I just see a face." and walked away.

Beautiful

Last night when Gordon was ready for bed, he gave me a hug and said, "Mom. I hope that when I get married, I can marry a girl that is as beautiful as you."  I hugged him back and said, "You might even marry someone that is more beautiful than me."

He took a step back and looked at me like that wasn't even possible and said, "Really?".

The Love

We were watching "The Legend of Korra" with the kids the other day and we got to an intense part where one of the characters betrays the guy who loves her.  Gordon said, "I knew she was faking the love!"

The H Is Silent

Linda was reading riddles from a book and the kids and I were trying to guess the answers. She read through a couple which referenced elephants and I passively answered "elephino" to one of them, simply making reference to that popular riddle. Nobody seemed to catch on, so after Linda had read a few more I told the kids I was surprised they hadn't heard this one and asked them, "What do you get if you cross an elephant and a rhino?" They made a few wrong guesses until finally Mia, who must have heard me earlier but hadn't really processed what she heard, said, "helephino?"

Sealed

I was watching Annie with the kids and we got to the part where Daddy Warbucks got Annie back and they were all so happy.  Gordon looked at me and said, "Are they going to get sealed together?"  I asked him, "What did you say?" Gordon said, "Are they going to go to the temple and get sealed?"
