-------------
Leyton: Mom, I don't want to go to swimming lessons today.
Mommy: Why not? You love swimming lessons. Last week you were smiling the whole time.

Leyton: Way Way poops?

(Brody found a nest on the ground...)
Brody: This nest fell out of the tree!
Mommy: Cool! It is either a bird's nest or a squirrel's nest. I'm not sure which.

Brody: How can God see us?
Mommy: God can see everything because he created us and he watches over us.

Mommy: Are you happy with your treats?

Leyton: That smells like a poopy butt!

Brody: I wish this helicopter had a remote control. Then I would have to remote it. And if it wasn't turned on, it wouldn't be remoting.
September 2010
Brody: A scallion bird (?) is like a chameleon because it can change colors. It can be brown and white or white and brown. And if it falls in paint, you might think it's a different color.
----------
Mommy: Brody, do you want to wear your green jacket or your khaki jacket?
Brody: I want to wear the green one. Why did you buy me that khaki jacket anyway? I don't like it. It's so French!

Brody: We are going to decorate the Christmas tree, you naughty beast!
----------------
Mommy: Look at that police officer. He has a leash. Maybe he's looking for a rabid dog.
Brody: I don't know such things as rabbit dogs. Are there any rabbit birds around here?
November 2009

--------------
Brody: How is Leyton gonna knock on doors for candy?
--------------
Brody: Mommy, are your teeth baby teeth?
Mommy: No, mine are adult teeth. I lost all my baby teeth when I was a kid.
Brody: When the tooth fairy comes, does he bring a new tooth?
Mommy: No, the tooth fairy takes your old tooth and leaves money under your pillow.
Brody: So you can buy a new tooth!

I was having a conversation with my neighbor, Wendy. I don't even remember what we were talking about. Brody was standing nearby and suddenly shouted out, "Excellent point!"

Brody: Oh my heavens! What are those?
August 2009
Daddy: Why are you wearing those goggles?
Brody: So I can save frogs that are lost in the deepness.
---------------
(I showed Brody a picture of Daddy's old bulldog, Spike.)
Brody: Is that Elijah?
Mommy: No, that's Spike. He was Daddy's dog when he was a little boy.
Brody: Spike's a good name!
Mommy: Spike lives with Jesus now.
Brody: Can we tell Jesus we want him back so he can come to our house and live with 'Lijah?
--------------
Brody: (after covering his finger with a candy wrapper) Look Daddy! It's a finger jet!

---------------------
Brody: (to Daddy) I'm going to wear a pink shirt when I'm a gril.

Brody: "Mommy, I want you to have my sister in your belly."

Mommy: "Brody, what are you talking about?" (as I literally have tears running down my cheeks from laughing so hard)
Brody: hands me an empty wasp's nest he found on the ground.
Mommy: "Oh! A bee hive!"
Brody: (while combing his hair) "Mommy, do you like my hair? It's gonna be gril [girl] hair. I'm a gril on that awful day. But I'm still a boy!"
