More Kid Quotes

Henry asked me and Matt, “When I’m 67, will you guys be dead?” Matt immediately said no we will be alive! … I said well… we will be 106 so we better stay healthy… :) 

Henry has been asking us a lot of interesting questions - today he asked us which magical creature from Harry Potter is our favorite, if we like beat boxing or singing best and if we want a two story or one story house. 

Henry likes a girl named Yazara at school. He talks about her all the time. She always she’s hi to him and chases him at recess. I said, “You know you can’t date until your older right? How old do you have to be to go on a date?” He said… 27?? I said “Yes, you’re exactly right.” And he said, “YES! Guessed right on the first try!” 

A girl was chasing Henry at the playground during recess- she finally caught him and told him she liked him. Henry said he liked Yazara, another girl in his class, and the girl said, “Thanks for wasting my ENTIRE recess!!” And she stormed off. Oh man. Only six years old. 

I said, "Henry come help me with the laundry." And he said, “But mom, I’m a young padowan! I don’t know how!” 

“Dad, hear this!!” Henry says it this way instead of "listen to this!" 

Henry doesn’t like to go to sleep when Miles is at late volleyball practice. He also forgot his homework folder at school and was nervous his teacher would be mad. I was reading in my bed and he asked to read in my bed too. He said, “Every time I try to sleep I feel something wet. And it’s my tears. Because I’m scared I won’t go to second grade because I didn’t do my homework and my teacher said it’s unacceptable.”

Henry says to me, "Dude. So many girls like me. Now Monice likes me. That’s like seven." I said what do you say when they tell you that? He said he says “Whaaaat??? Or “OOOhhh Kay. 

We are working with Claire to be louder and talk more at volleyball, be more of a leader… Matt says you need to turn up the temperature of your voice!" We all looked at him, like, huh? Claire's friend Carson says, "You mean… the volume?" We now have many jokes about turning up the heat of our voice.
