Quinnlin, in the hospital recently: “The hospital is kinda like a hotel.”
Me: “Um, okay. Except without a minibar and a pool.”
Quinnlin: “Yeah, that is true.”

Quinnlin, sees The Parents kiss: “Ohhhh, stop kissing!”
Me: “I’d rather you see us kiss than fight.”
Quinnlin: “I’m not sure. But I guess it’s better than divorce.”
Me: “Well, yes.”
Gage: “If you two ever get divorced, where would we live, in the woods?”
————-
Gage: “Will you homeschool me?”
Me: “No.”
Gage: “Why not?”
Me: “Can you picture us together during the day and me telling you that you needed to do some work, I mean, see how you are with me during homework?”
Gage: “I wouldn’t do that if you homeschooled me.”
Me: “Plus, you know more math than I do. You’ve surpassed me in math. I’m not happy to admit that.”
Gage: “You shouldn’t be.”

Julian: “When are we going to use that certificate for Four Seasons?”
Me: “As soon as humanly possible. Tonight?”
Julian: “Just leave the kids?”
Me: “Yeah, I mean Gage can almost spread cream cheese on a bagel. And Quinny can microwave a hotpocket.” (laughs)
Julian, serious: “No really. When are we going?”
————-
At Kate and Kirsten’s Wedding after we gave advice on marriage.
Julian: “So what do you think? How’d we do?”
Me: “I think we did alright. We probably talked about alcohol a little too much.”
Julian: “Maybe. Well, it IS the truth. We do like a cocktail or 4 at the end of the week.”
Me: “It is something we do as a couple, so technically, it’s something we do together.”
————-
Me: “Which boots should I get? I have a great coupon code!”
Julian: “This will not end well.”
Me: “I like two pair and well, since I have this coupon…”
Julian: “See what I mean.”

I went with Quinnlin to Maggiano’s to speak to employees at the beginning of their fundraising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We were just going to share our experiences with Quinnlin and Gage’s wishes to thank them and motivate them. We ended up at the location that sponsored her send off party.
Me: “So, Quinnlin, how’d we do, do you think they’ll work really hard to raise money?”
Quinnlin: “Well, I did look out and see a couple of them crying, so that was good.”

Julian pulled his back the worst he’s done in several years. Luckily, it was only bad for a day and then he was good as new. A day later Julian was getting dressed and Gage had to put on Julian’s socks for him.
Gage: “This day came way too soon.”

Me to Gage: “I love you.”
Gage: “Okay.”
Me: “Maybe you can say you love me too some day.”
Gage: “I like you.”
Me: “Eh.”
Gage: “A lot.”
