Mom: What's that toe taste like, Fiona?
Fiona: peanut butter & jelly

Kristi: I think Jesus is coming tomorrow.
Trinity: How do you know?
Kristi: I don't actually know. I'm just hoping.
Trinity: Awww - but tomorrow is show-and-tell!

In the midst of a frustrating conversation with a child who was speaking disrespectfully...
Allan: Do you know why you need to talk nice to your mom??
Connor: Yeah, she gave birth to me!

Connorisms

After Connor was to be in bed for a while, he came to the living room and sat down beside me.

Mom, I need to talk to you. I need to give you a hug and a kiss. You need to clean out the fireplace. And this living room needs to be picked up. And the stuff on the table needs to be put away. "I think you need to go back to bed Connor." You need to move the whole fireplace. "The whole fireplace?" Yes. And you need to change this lamp so that when I touch the pole it turns off and on. "Goodnight Connor." Goodnight!

I asked Connor to pick up a cup he had dropped from his car seat to the floor of the car.

I'm not available to do that right now.

When trying to choose a cartoon to watch with one of our interns:

This is the love show! I hate love!!

As our Life Group and the interns were gathered in our living room, Connor came running through, obviously in need of the "facilities" and announcing that he had to wait a long time while they went for a walk. Then, of course with the door wide open to the bathroom, we hear a flush and:

That was a good pee!

When discussing with my kids whom they would choose to marry:

I'm going to marry Michal. She said so! She said that if I don't marry her she won't give me any candy!

Transcribed by his Sunday school teacher on a picture Connor drew:

I love my mommy so much my brain hurts!

Who Are You Exactly?

Connor to mom:

I'm not a dude - I'm a guy!

Connor to Grammy:

I'm not a sweetie - I'm a man! Sweeties are girls.
