Oh the things that they do and say

Luca: "Mom, what kind of meat is this?"
"chicken breast"
Luca: "Do you think this breast still has some milk in it?"
"em, no"

We were in a hurry before school and the kids ate their breakfast alone while I got dressed and Lincoln got the twins downstairs. He proceeded into the dining room and saw Luca and Leea all crunched up on their chairs, very close to their bowls of cereal and munching it all up very fast with animal-like sounds.
Linc:"What are you doing?"
Luca: "We're pretending we're dust mites eating cradle cap"

The kids know I'm allergic to dust mites and were interested in what dust mites are and what they eat, so we had a little lesson on them before the above mentioned situation happened. Our kids still have cradle cap (dunno why, but I try hard to get rid of it, but it keeps coming back) and I told them that dust mites eat that and skin pieces that fall off of humans. Pretty gross, I know! :)

I just found pieces of paper with old stuff on them:

I think this is my very favorite one. A couple of weeks after I had the twins and still and enormous belly Luca (then 3) looked at it observantly and said:"Mom (pause), I think there are still a few more babies in there."

Here's another one from a couple years ago. Leea (then 2) had a phase when she would constantly pretend she's a man. Luca and Leea played dinosaurs when Luca asked: "Leea, are you a T-Rex?" "No, I'm not a T-Rex, I'm JUST a man."

Luca and Leea looked out of the window and said something like this, when somebody went by on a bike. Luca:"Look, Leea, there's a woman on a bike". Leea:"No, she's a MAN like me."

Luca (then3): "Papa, I like you. You're SO pretty."
