Action not available

Me: "Did you play with your buddies at recess today?"
Simon: "No, I was just a one-man-show."

We were watching Brave. Simon's assessment of the main character: "She's quite the fighter."

Driving with Jeff to work this morning, I mentioned that the plate on the car in front of us said "Camelle". Simon looked up and said, "No, the back of the car says Lexus."

Simon (watching me try to skip through all the previews on a dvd): "What does "action not available" mean?" I can't believe he can read that!

On the way home from school, Simon started crying. I asked what was wrong and he said, "I miss you when I'm at school! My heart is black because it breaks!"

Fruit to the Loom!

Simon shouted excitedly from the other room, "My underwear says "Fruit to the loom"!"
Simon is a natural at the familial banter:
"Mom, Dad's giving me a tough time again! Will you handle it, please?"

Simon: "I have a loose tooth."
Me: "That's cool! Which one is it?"
Simon: "That one."
Me: "Which one? Can you wiggle it?"
Simon started moving his jaw back and forth. I guess I should have explained what I meant.

Simon: "I accidentally used my imagination."

Simon: "Can I watch How to Train Your Dragon?"
Me: "You just watched that yesterday. How about something else? Maybe the Goofy movie or Emperor's New Groove?"
Simon: "I can't. I'm too old for animated movies."

Simon came with us to the "big people church" this morning, but asked to leave early. The reason? "Dad sings weird".


Me: "How was school?"
Simon: "Oh, you know. It was just a day."
