Scot: “Hey, Read (reed) and read (red) are both spelled the same. That makes no sense.”
Me: “Where have you been all your life?”
Scot: “I feel like this is something that I should have realized in second grade.”
Me: “There are other words like that.”
Scot: “It just makes no sense, they are two different tenses.”

Me: Will you let me play my own game.
Katie: I am just being an extra set of eyes for you.
Me: My eyes are just fine. In fact they work better than yours.
Katie: Well, my eyes are more light sensitive than yours.
Me: What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Katie: HUH????
Me: Scot will you turn that down.
Scot: I am trying to get those Sugar Titz out of my ears.
I am lost too.

Posted in THE WORLD ACCORDING TO SAM
Sam loves to ask questions along the lines of: What would (insert superhero here) do if a villian (insert random bad act here).
Sam: Dad, what would Batman do if a villain was running over people with a motorcycle?
Scot: He would put signs up all over Gotham City that said “No Motor Cycles Allowed.”
Sam: Da-ad, I said he was a villain and a villain would not pay attention to signs like that.
Scot: You are right Sam and that is a concept that a lot of adults I know don’t understand.

Sam: You can keep a motorcycle from crashing into the car in front of you by using it as a ramp. You just have to get the first wheel on the ground safely.
Sam: (A little later) I’m going to use the Theory of Relativity to invent a flying motorcycle.
