Me: No, not this May. I'll only be 39.

Archie: When I grow up and am a dad, I'll be a dolt!We've not yet bothered to tell him he means adult.
Me: You know what, Archie, after you're a dad you get to be a grandpa.
Archie (gasping and bouncing): Yay! A funny grandpa?
Me: If you want.
Archie: I want to be a funny grandpa!

Archie (hugging his family history coloring book from Great Grandma Marva): Hamry fristry! I'm doing hamry fristry!
Me: What's your favorite present, Nellpea?
Penelope: All of it! I love everything!
