Spoken in the Mutant Family Household

Quinn was looking at a picture and she said it looked like daddy and it was a beautiful man who was pictured marrying Carrie Underwood. Julian was all like, “Cool. Thanks! So nice! Awwww!”

Then she says, “No..not THAT man, the man whose head is bald…right there on the left.” (it was a guest facing the other direction).

————

A while back we took a trip and we drove. We drove for a long time. We passed through little rural towns with squares and clock towers and small farms and little 1890′s houses.

Sad but true, Quinn says: “When I am older I want to live in the country but I won’t be able to because I won’t be near a hospital.”

Gage attended a party for a friend and there were a lot of kids. It was a karate party and he was apprehensive about going because he had a not fun experience with his karate teacher when he got back from his transplant. So…he brought Sally, Ugly Orange Kitty.

A father, bald, beard, friendly biker looking, waiting for his daughter looked at Gage as he came up to me. He noticed Sally. He looks at Gage and says, “Is that yours?”

Gage: “Yeah, you got a problem with that?”

———-

Gage has decided that we needed to replace Sally #2. So Sally #3 came in the mail today and I told him he needed to hug and say goodbye to Sally #2. He repeated after me,

Gage: “Thanks for everything Sally. You’ve seen me through some tough times. And some good times. You were a good cat and you’ve had a good life.”

Although he was reluctant to place her in the memory box.

————

Also, about new Sally. Sally #3.

Gage: “She’s so much fatter.”

Me: “No, she isn’t, her stuffing is just fluffy and fresh.”

Gage: “I’m not taking her anywhere.”

Pause

Gage: “Well, that’s not true. ”

————

Gage’s friend’s mom asked his friend if other kids tease Gage because he sometimes brings his stuffed animals to school.

Friend says: “No. Gage is just Gage.”

That about sums it up.

    I love this response: “Yeah, you got a problem with that?”

    What did biker dad say?

  2. The biker was all like, “Dude! No! No problem at all! Just asking! Wanted to know the story behind her! Really dude!

    I can relate to that comment about living in a small, quaint town. I grew up in the Midwest in such a town and have very fond memories. But the nearest hospital was several towns away. I don’t think that would be very feasible for our family to live there, considering how much time we log at the hospital and specialists’ offices. :(
