Quotes of late

Kellen:

(after hearing that he had to wear his tennis shoes to school, per the uniform policy): "Is that their rule, or yours?"

"I want a surprise party for my birthday. I'll wait in my room, and all of the guests can hide behind the couch and pop up and yell 'Surprise!' when I come in."

"I had a little three-marble accident." (Meaning he put too many marbles in the incentive jar at school. This was not an accident. He knows the difference between 3 marbles and one marble. I called his teacher and he had to confess the next morning. So it begins.)

To his Bible class teacher: "I'm going to be a microbiologist when I grow up and study germs." (Hat tip to Granny for that idea.)

Bonnie:

"Mom, here is some terrified rock. It used to be a tree." (meaning petrified rock. My mom found some on the land and brought it back.)

"I'm all whompered!" (I don't know if whompered is a real word meaning messed up, but again, from my mom.)

"I'm going to be a alientologist when I grow up and study dinosaurs. No, a microbiologist." To which Kellen replied, exasperated, "BONNIE! You can't. change. sciences!"

Yeah, we're real cool around here.

I really can't handle the last one. I can just feel the eye roll from here. I think K's kindergarten teacher next year will have an interesting time keeping him entertained in the boring world of letter sounds.
