While making his "coffee" (two tablespoons decaf coffee in 8 ounces of milk):
"I'll take mine black, please".
When he asked what I was making in the blender ("I am making you a little drinkie-poo!"):
"No poo for me, thanks".
When insisting that Daddy was mad at him:
"But he squeaked my cheeks!"
When he was hungry at the mall:
"I'm not hungry, I am SPIDERMAN hungry" ("spiderman" means "extremely" as spiderman is an extreme super human).
When we left his coat at the park:
"I will send spiderman to go get it for me".
When I found him standing on his bed after his nap (today):
"I am going to fly away. Into the sky. Tilly needs to go back to her castle".

Lucas's story
Today at Kroger, Lucas reminded me that he and Tilly each get a matchbox racing car. Ewan and Rowan aren't interested in them yet (they just want cookie samples from the bakery- Ewan screams "Want Cookie!" as soon as we pass them). With all four in the cart, we take up a good bit of room and blocked the lane. Another mother- whose child wasn't with her, was also shopping for matchbox cars.
Lucas says "I want the helicopter".
me "I don't see it".
Lucas : "Its in hand"
me: "Let me see (looks at the five cars in my hand)- No, its not in mommys hand"
Lucas "No, its in the Ladys hand"
she isn't listening...
me: "Let mommy see if she can find one for you"
Lucas "Mommy, its in the ladies hand!"
The lady walks away and Lucas begins sobbing saying "She took it! She took my helicopter!"
After going through fifty cars, I found an airplane. He didn't like it. Then, because he had a tummy virus earlier in the week and was looking particularly sad and weak, I tracked down the lady and asked her if she would mind swapping airplane for helicopter. She was fine with it. Lucas said to her "I got my helicopter back!".
So tonight we were telling Duane the story, and here is Lucas's version.
Lucas: "A lady took my helicopter"
me "what happened?"
Lucas "She put it in her hand and she took it away"
me "what did we do?"
Lucas "We went to get it back"
me "then what?"
Lucas "We took it"
me "Then what?"
Lucas: "We took it and then we ran away"
me "Then what?"
Lucas "We paid, then ran away in the car".
His version is more exciting I think.
When I was blow drying Tillys hair yesterday, I sat her on the counter in my bathroom as usual. She said "Mommy, please be careful. Mommy, I could fall and get hurt, so you should be very careful with me."
And today when Lucas wanted to lay down (he is still feeling weak from his virus) Tilly said "Mommy, Lucas went back to bed." I said "I know". She then looked at me and said "Did you tell him you loved him and kiss him goodnight?". Duane calls her "Bossy girl".

Duck Pond
we have fed the ducks at this pond so many times that they now recognize us and approach us "begging" for bread.
Lucas was needing a haircut (he has since had one- me, too by the way!).
Rowan and Ewan say "Ducks- quack quack" as we pull into the parking lot. Tilly says "silly ducks! They are soooo hungry!" and Lucas says "They poop everywhere. Its big. Its green. Its poop".
