Movie Classics

Simon: "I just have to brush my teeth and get dressed. I have it so easy."

Simon was given a giant Lego set unexpectedly. We asked what he wants to say to the person who gave it to him, and he said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you, like, a million times! And I love you for this!".

Simon has told me that his Lego creation are "all in the minor details."
Me: "Guess what?"
Simon: "What?"
Me: "I love you."
Simon: "Well said, Mom. Well said."

Simon: I am skinny everything! It comes from sitting in very small spaces!

Simon:"Do you want to see a car crash? Because I know all about car crashes! Really, they are movie classics!"

Simon (standing atop a friend's playroom climber):" I WANT TO LIVE HERE!!"

Friend's Mom: "What about your mom and dad??"

Simon: "Oh, well.....they aren't here to hear it and they did not mention it anyways.....
"

Simon has started saying, "OOOP, There it is!"

Simon very rarely mispronounces words. Here are his current mispronunciations:
"Humil-lil-ated" instead of "humiliated".
"Inno- kent" instead of "innocent"

Simon has started singing "TNT" by AC/DC. It's very very funny.

Simon really doesn't like the heat. As we walked through the grocery store door, Simon leaned against the pile of baskets and said dramatically, "I can't go any further. Go on without me!"

Sideburns

Me: "What is the capital of Brazil?"
Simon: "Brasília."
Me: "What about Japan?"
Simon: "Tokyo."
Me: "Egypt?"
Simon: "Cairo."
Me: "China?"
Simon: "Chinatown?"
Uh...
Simon: "Can I bring a notebook and a pencil tomorrow?" (to VBS)
Me: "Why?"
Simon: "I made a new friend, but I didn't catch his name. I need his autograph so I can know it."

Simon has been making Star Wars characters out of Legos. He had the hardest time with "Princess Lego" because he said that her "sideburns aren't poofy enough". Hahaha!


Simon slept over at a friend's house for the first time:

Ryland: you've never had root beer?!?
Simon: WE DO NOT DRINK BEER!!!
Natalie: it isn't beer, simon
S: aw, what is it, a meat or somethin'?
(Kids all laugh)
N- a soda
Simon: well, I don't like fizz either!


Simon was so overexcited that he was a disaster the next day. I took him home and he started sobbing, "I miss my friend!", even though he's been seeing him every day. There was also this gem:
Simon: "I'm saaaddd!"
Me: "I know, buddy."
Simon: "What are you going to do about it?'
Me: "I'm going to give you a hug when we get out of the car."

Simon: "Are we stopping at Toys R Us?"
Me: "No.Why would we do that?"
Simon (still sobbing): "To cheer me up!"

Mommy's Awesome Homeschool

Simon: "We should name our school "Mommy's Awesome Homeschool". Too much?"

Simon:
"If I chew on a bone, all my teeth will fall out and I'll get, like, a million toothbrushes." We're going to let him pick any toothbrush he wants when he loses his first tooth.

Simon: "Am I stressing you out? I just love stressing you out. It's funny."

Simon: "How do you lick your chops?"
