Ten-year-old: “Ew! Ew! Ew! EW!!”
Six-year-old: “What happened? Oh. I licked your nose. Sorry.”
Six-year-old: “Your brain’s the size of a chicken’s hip.”
Ten-year-old: “Yours is as useful as a country-style bean.”

Six-year-old, singing happily: “Poke! Poke! Poke!”

Conversations I’ve actually had recently:
Six-year-old, about his sister: “She pushed me!”
Me: “Are you ok? Why would she do that?”
Six-year-old: “I know! I was just trying to kick her!”
We’ve got six long days until school begins. Wish me luck.
