Conversation after the kids came home from their friends' house:
Me: What did you have for lunch?
Trevor: Meat soup.
Me: Was it chili?
Trevor: No, it was hot.

Noel: I can write an uppercase "N" but not a downercase "n".
Trevor, in the house he's lived in for half his life: Where's the bathroom?

The kids are playing with polly pockets.

Trevor: Her house looks like an amazement park.

Funny things kids say, of course

We parked next to a car that had fuzzy dice hanging on the mirror, only black with white spots. A few days ago we had been playing dominoes.

Noel: Look, there's vamanos (with a perfect Spanish accent) in that car.

Later on, in the tub, the kids were having a contest for the "cleanest, shiniest" face. Trevor insisted we find a real judge.

Trevor: Get out the sledgehammer! (Just think about this one.)
