The kids love watching us play Mario Kart, and Chad is always Mario
Ada: Dad!  Watch out for Baby Mario!
Grace: Baby Mario is your son!
Chad: The Princess hasn’t proven that yet!

Sarah: Eli, who are you talking to?
Eli: The angels on my shoulders.  The red one is winning.

Grace: Momma, my left nose hole is stuffy.

Ada: I loooove Charlie Brown.  He’s bald, you know.  I like bald people.

Ada: Knock knock!
Heather: Who’s there?
Ada: Ivan
Heather: Ivan who?
Ada: Ivan working on the railroad, all the beautiful day!
Heather: I have a friend named Ivan!
Ada: Really?  (pause)  Does he work on the railroad?

Uncle Don: Can I have a hug?
Ada: You can get one from Grace.

Ada: Momma, I want to sleep in your bed with you.
Me: I’m sorry honey, but you can’t
Ada then goes to Grandma, nearly crying
Ada: It didn’t work.
