Verbatim from the 13-year-old stepdaughter:

Her: I'm very stubborn.
Dad: Uh... not really, honey.
Her: Yeah, I guess not. It's pretty easy for people to talk me into stuff.

Yeah, we read a lot to them and my favorite book is the Third Edition of Roget's Thesaurus, so i guess it rubs off. The new Thesauruses have been dumbed down, defeating the whole purpose of them.

That is very funny.

They're called Roget's Embasaurus, and shelved with books on the Early Cretaceous period.

From the 18 year old lass I had been treating for heatstroke in a first aid tent at a festival (honest), and who had been incoherent and uncertain of anything, but had now recovered:

Me: are you usually indecisive?
Her: [looks left] Yes. [looks right] No. [looks at me] Maybe. [Giggles].
Both: LMAO

SonofV from the recliner in the front room:

"Uh oh. I have to fart and I don't know which way to lean."

I love sons.

Tell him: push hard, try for lift-off.

Thor (9): I'm breaking sticks with my hands as I walk along because this is something I can do to keep them busy without annoying other people"

Thor; [more of the same]

Me: It's Ok, that's good, whatever you need to deal with your ADHD...

Thor: I do not have ADHD. Oh hi kitty (to a tailless cat spooked by us walking by)

Beest, Hebe and I took a good 5 minutes to stop laughing.

Thor: I do not have ADHD. Oh hi kitty

HA !!!

Made be wheeze/laugh a la Muttley

As I walked by I heard the mm: "...and this is the family, and here is their pet; a loathsome beast..."

"a loathsome beast" --funny

yes, funny. say.. her finger was on a picture of the pet, no? not... someone else, right?

There were no pictures, just little Duplo blocks and creatures

Me: Please stop making that noise.
Minifob: Why do I need to stop making that noise?
Me: Because it hurts my ears.
Minifob: Actually, it's because it's annoying.
Me: Well okay, I guess it's that too.
Minifob: That's not a very nice thing to say, you know.
