When David noticed I was wearing a new tanktop: “Mommy need SHIRT! That’s bra!”

A game with their food, before eating it all: “No like it!”

At the restaurant: Nothing. They’re too busy eating.

David brushing Carmen’s hair: “Brush hair. That’s byootiful!”

David with Carmen in the car, when Carmen is crying: “Look, Carmen, look at the tractors! How PREDDY!” (From the same child who strokes his sister awake in the morning, then jumps on her and smushes her.)

Carmen, in bed: “Carmen somersault!”
