"Ben, did you wash your hands?" "When I went in that bathroom, its like I was in chinese!"
A third time, I persisted, "Ben, did you wash your hands?" Acknowledging his defeat, he shrugged his shoulders and went back in . . . to wash his hands.

Will casually said, "I don't love you anymore. Mom. . . I don't love you anymore." Trying not to laugh, I dramatically asked, "Why don't you love me anymore?" "I like you, I just don't love you. . . because you put tomatoes on my sandwich and I don't like tomatoes." In a comforting tone he reassured me, "But I like you, I like you. I just don't love you."

03-11-09 Today Spencer brilliantly suggested that we "buy a whole bunch of green construction paper and cover the whole house for St. Patrick's Day."

02-19-09 After telling the boys about the new addition to the family, Spencer asked, "Can we order a girl?" I explained to them that Heavenly Father will decide whether he'll send a girl or boy. Will announced, "I'm going to pray to Heavuhly Fadder for a boy." I thought he intended to do it later until I noticed that he had his arms folded, and eyes closed. He quickly began, "Heavuhly Fadder, please make the baby a boy. . ."
