Flesh

Simon: "Mom, I'm running against you for School President."
Me: "You are? If you win, what will you do?"
Simon: "Make a rule: six minute breaks."
Me: "Six minutes? That's it?"
Simon: "Well, it's more than five minutes, so that's okay."
Simon while eating chicken: "What is chicken made of?"
Jeff: "Chickens!"
Simon: "Like the bird?"
Jeff: "Yeah, it is the bird."
Simon: "How do they make it taste so good?"
Jeff: "Well, that's just the-"
Simon: "Wait! Am I eating FLESH?!?!"


Simon: "Mom, I'm disappointed. Not literally. It's okay."

Simon: "Look at my Lego spaceship I just built."
Me: "That's cool!"
Simon: "That's 'cause I'm a genius.

Simon went to O2bkids with a friend yesterday. When he went down the slide, he told me it was just like the luge. I'm glad that he's excited about what he's been learning about the Olympics.

Butterflies

Simon: "All superheroes have a weakness, just like I have a weakness which is macaroni and cheese. And pizza. Deep dish."

Simon (looking betrayed): "Why are they called butterflies? They're not made out of butter!"

Simon: "Mom, why did they name the game 'Simon Says' after me?"
Simon: "We're the Dude family. You're Mom Dude, Dad is Dad Dude, and I'm Simon Elias Dude. Grandma is Grandma Dude and Papa Rich is Rich Dude."

Simon hit his head and started crying. I asked where he hit it and, after pointing out the sore spot, Simon started sobbing, "I hope it's not my frontal lobe!"


Simon: "I don't know what to write a comic about! My mind is blank. All I can think is stuff that already has been made, like Simon's Cat."
Me: "Well, I like your Stick Dude comics and Hot the Hot Dog is really cool."
Simon: "Well, I can't do those because I'm moving on to more advanced stuff."
