Carrie: Do you know what else we bought at the store?...Cherries!

Alyssa: Are they like the cherries that Grandpa Jacks gets? The ones that are red and round and they have a pupil in the middle that you spit out?

Mama, do you know my cousin Michael? The one who's in the hospital because he broke his arm? Well, I think that he is into sports and plays a lot of sports, because he likes video games, and video games are a sport, aren't they?

Ethan was in the car, making battle noises.

Brian: Are your hands fighting each other?
Ethan: (Nods yes)
Carrie: Only a guy can say that to another guy, and have it make sense.

It was windy outside, so Carrie stood in front of Brian to be out of the wind.

Brian: What? Am I breaking wind? ...(he waited a few seconds until he realized what he said)...Normally I get in trouble for breaking wind.

Brian was relaxing with his laptop on our bed now that finals are over. Carrie came in, laid down beside him, unconsciously put her foot in the air, and gave him a kiss.

Brian: Ooh, a foot pop. That must have been a good kiss.

Carrie: Actually, I popped my foot before the kiss. It was a preparatory pop.
