Saturday, June 13, 2009 (Alyssa)

(Alyssa comes running in the house, slamming and locking the front door.)

Alyssa: There's an angry mob coming this way!

Carrie: What? Where's Ethan?

Alyssa: I think he's with them.

Sunday, June 7, 2009 (Brian)

Everyone was making pizzas for dinner, and Carrie told Ethan to help Brian with his pizza, because Alyssa was already helping Carrie with hers.

Brian: That's a good idea, because I'm having more fun over here. Dad's are more fun, by definition.

Carrie: Yeah, dad's are more fun by definition. Go help Daddy.

Brian: High definition.

Save A Place

Carrie was putting marshmallows in a fruit salad, when Ethan came into the kitchen.

Ethan: I want marshmallows!

Carrie: Whoa! Try that again. Can you ask me nicely? What do you want?

Ethan: I want A LOT of them!

Carrie: (walking to the car) Okay, get into your seat. (putting Marcus' seat belt on) Ethan, you need to get into your seat. (walking around to the back door) Make sure you're in your seat, Ethan.

Ethan: I in my seat. I already did it.

Carrie: Wow! You did. I didn't see you head back there. You surprised me.

Ethan: Yeah, I did....Surprise!

Carrie: Surprise!

Ethan: That was fun.

Carrie: Thank you for saying, "Excuse me." (puzzled) What did you do?

Ethan: I burt. From mine bum.

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 (Ethan)

(Yes, I realize that Brian isn't quite a doctor yet, but for the purpose of a conversation with a three year old, he is.)

This morning Carrie was telling Ethan about his dentist appointment this afternoon.

Carrie: ...and Alyssa will be going to the dentist, too. You're both going to get your teeth checked.

Ethan: What about Callie?

Carrie: Cats don't go to the dentist.

(A few minutes later)

Ethan: Daddy's a doctor.

Carrie: Yeah, Dad's a doctor. What kind of doctor is Daddy?

Ethan: Ummmm...a man doctor.

Carrie: Yeah, he's actually an eye doctor.

Ethan: And he's a man.
