Katie: "Jack and Grace won't help me pick-up my toys!"
Me: "Why do Jack and Grace need to help you pick-up your toys?"
Katie: "Because there are too many!"
Me: "Jack, I think I'll come to Stations of the Cross next week."
Jack: "You can't come to Stations."
Me: "Why?"
Jack: "No old people allowed!"
Me: "Who are you calling 'old'?"
Jack: "That's what Father Pat calls the people in the back of the church [at all-school mass]."
Grace: "When I get older, I'm going to kiss Jackson Holok."
Jack: "Grace! You can't think about that until you are MUCH older!"
Us: "Why Jackson (just out of curiosity)?"
Grace: "Because Kaitlyn is going to kiss Allan."
Me: "Jack, you are going to be my 'date' for Daddy's play."
Jack: "Date? You don't date until you are married!"
Me: "You can date before you're married."
Jack: "Well, I'm not going to start any of that until I'm at least in college!"
(Me (to myself): "WHEW! Now could you get Grace to do the same!?!")
And, saving the best for last:
Mary: (while on her knees at bedtime prayers) "AMEN!"
