Eli: I got two F’s.
Ada: Does F stand for Fantastic?
Chad: Nope.

Leftover night…
Eli: That steak tasted a little funny, but the more I ate it, the better it got.
Such devotion to meat.

I got firewood one day, and was trying desperately to start a fire by myself.  It didn’t work.
Ada: Well, at least you tried. (Not in an encouraging voice, more in a giving-up voice)
Then later when Chad got home…
Eli: Dad, can you start a fire?  Mom tried, but she failed.
Me: Wow.
Eli: Sorry!  I was trying to think of something nice to say!
Me: “She failed” was the best you could come up with??
Eli: Yes.

Eli: (After a shower) If you’re wondering why I’m so clean, I did my hair and body TWICE.

Ada: I put some toys in my stocking, is it ok if I get them out?
Me: Yes.  Why did you put toys in there?
Ada: I wanted them to have a good time.
