Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"

Jumping on her bed: "Mom, you want to jump with me? It could be fun."

Talking to dad in the morning: "What you doin'?" --- "Getting ready for work." --- "But if you weave, I'll be sad."

"I'm not big. I'm just Summer!"

After waking up in the morning and realizing Dad was gone: "Mom, where's dad?" --- "He's at work." --- "Why?" --- "Because he has to get money for us." --- (Pointing to our change drawer) "But we have money right there!"

"Summer, why do you keep unplugging the TV?" Summer: "Because it's tempted to turn it back on. It's tempted, mom. So I unplug it."

"I wish my head was in my mouth so I could see what my tongue was doing."

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"

Claire told me she had "something" in her underwear. I asked her if she had an accident. She said, "No. I had a tooter and poop came out. Shooted right in there."

Me: "Stick your finger in your ear and see if you can get some of that ear wax out." Claire: "Nooooo. Because we have to lick it and that's how we wash it."

Claire: "No fry, baby. No fry." (Don't cry)

Claire, looking at her reflection in the oven glass: "Ook! Ook!" --- "Who is it, Claire?" --- "Nummer! Nummer!"
