Pep in Your Step

Simon: "I like sky-fi books now."
Me: "I like those too, but it's actually pronounced sci-fi."
Simon: "I bet I know what it's short for: sai fight. You know, like those weapons in Japan?"

Simon: "Are you okay? You seem a little out of it."
Me: "I'm okay, just tired."
Simon: "You should get some coffee. It puts pep in your step."

Simon: "I am more of a cat person than a dog person. Cats are more mature. It's the truth."

Simon: "Can I make my own breakfast?"
Me: "Sure!"
Simon: "Do you have any prunes?"
Simon wanted to make a prune, cheese, and mayonnaise sandwich.

Simon was finally brave enough to touch the sting rays at the zoo today. He gasped excitedly when the first one flapped over his hand and said, "It made contact!"
The way he said it made me think of alien movies.

Ominous

Simon: "Rollos are little caramel presents from planet Yum."

The way Simon throws a football is to strike what he assumes is a sports pose, then say, "Go long. I'm going to belt it!"

Simon is doodling all over a piece of paper. He just held it up and asked, "What do you think of my new ominous logo?"

Simon: "You went silly. That's kind of like going crazy. It's another way of saying you went bad, like a banana. I'm joking!"
Simon tripped over the sleeping cat. He got up and said, "Mo-om, Tim tripped me!"
I answered that I didn't think he meant to, and Simon said, "Yes, he did. He's trying to look all innocent [pronounced inn-o-kent], but I have him figured out. Well? Are you going to put him on timeout?"


Simon has started saying "unconstance" when he means "unconscious". He uses that word a lot.
