Lincoln Liners: October

"Mom, did you put your hair on backwards?"

"Mom, you can't make any sense. It's dangerous."

"Big boys don't drink out of big boy cups. They just like cups with the lid on it."

"Mom, I just need to get behind you and shoot a bird out the window. Here Mom, here's a dead bird for you. It's just a dead bird, I brought it to you. Let's put it in it's nest."

"I can't hear you, I don't have enough ears."

"Dear Heavenly Father, We're grateful for Ivan, and Delia, and Mommy, and Daddy, and church, and nursery, and girlfriends..."

"Dear Heavenly Father, We're thankful for this food, that we can be pirates, and the food..."

"We're not monkeys. We're just Lincoln and Ivan. Lincoln and Ivan jumping on the bed...Hey Ivan, do you want to fall off and bonk your head on the ground?"

"I have bats in my mouth. They're eating the frogs."

Me: "Linc, should we go put a new shirt on Del?"
L: "It's not Del, it's Adelia."
Me: "Her name is Adelia, you're right, but we can call her Del for short, don't you think?"
L: "No."
Me: "Well, what should we call her for short then?"
L: "Hmm...How 'bout Cassidy."

L: "Mom, can you take the screen out?"
Me: "What?"
L: "Uncle Ryan is sposed to throw me out the window, but the screen is in the way."

A: "Why are you laying on the ground?"
L: "I just runned out of batteries."

"Dad I'm emitting light!"

"Steffy, look! A real fire!"

"I can't hear you. I'm eating a graham cracker."

Me, talking to A about how to make a costume out of a t-shirt: "We could just cut the bottom off..."
L in a very distressed, high pitched voice: "Don't cut my bottom off!"

"These are my rumble shoes."

Me: "We went to Gramma's house this weekend, remember? To watch Conference?"
L: "Ya...I just don't like that movie (conference). I want a different one."

Me: "What's that you've got."
L: "Just a graham cracker. It makes me be good."

(After coloring a picture entirely green) "It's all greened up, Mom. I greened it all up."

"Sometimes I just throw up, ok?"

(I woke up in the morning to L dumping stuffed animals on my head and saying:) "Mom, wake up it's morning time. The sun is up. I brought you all kinds of crazy friends."

(As we're walking on campus looking at all the posters for Homecoming week) L: "Mom, is that Tigger?"
Me: "Nope, that's Cosmo." (BYU mascott)
L: "Cosmo-mo! Look it's Cosmo-m0!" (Aaron's mom has a dog named Mo Mo that all the kids love.)
