As Mistletoe walks across Scot’s laptop:

Scot: Oh look who’s back.  Did you know that you are my favorite cat that lives here?  (only cat that lives here)

Scot then starts petting him:

Scot: Ow you bastard!  If there is a way where that does not sound mean, I meant the other one.

 

Watch out for that cone.

Sam:  Dad are you working from home today?

Scot:  No Sam, my boss needs me to drive in.

Sam:  Why don’t you just tell him that there is construction in the freakin’ way?

(This made perfect sense to him.  We have an excavation crew here putting in a new very long driveway, so they are frequently blocking our access to the house.)

Dr. huh?

Sam:  Who is that woman going into their brains?

Katie:  She’s the girl that’s just a flap of skin.

I think someone needs to install a new filter

Katie:  Did you know that if you cut the whiskers off of a cat that it will run around disoriented for a couple of weeks.

Sam:  If you cut off the whiskers?

Katie: Yes, but don’t do that.

Sam:  Don’t do that to Mistletoe? (our cat)

Me:  Don’t do that to any cat.  It is mean.

Katie:  Yeah.  It is mean but it is also supposed to be quite comical.

Katie:  But don’t do that.

Sam:  Don’t cut the whiskers off of a cat?

Katie:  Yes Sam.

These fairy tales are Grimm.

Katie was showing Sam a video of the story of  the Princess and the Toad in Medieval England, this followed the story of Sleeping Beauty in ancient Greece:  The princess kissed the frog and the frog turned into a prince (just like the story we all know).  Then the princess was thought to be a witch and was burned at the stake.

Sam:  I don’t like this story and I also don’t like the one about the girl who slept for 100 years and also was killed.

Keeping up with the Circadians.

Katie:  Like how I am up before 1:00?

Scot:  The bar is set low.

Katie:  I was up until 4:00 AM too.

Me:  Why were you up that late?

Scot:  Is that because you could not fall asleep after getting up at the crack of noon yesterday?

Katie:  Well, I learned in IB Psych that the Circadian clock is actually 25 hours and that explains everything.  Doesn’t it?

Let me add that she is wearing a nice black and gold sparkly shirt, Mickey Mouse pajama pants and magenta flats with a bow on the toe.

Is Gotham City in Oklahoma?

Sam:  I have a riddle for you. What’s as high as an elephant’s eye?

Katie:   The corn.

Sam (shocked): How did you know?

Katie:  I don’t remember you watching Oklahoma.  How do you know?

Sam:  I saw it on Batman: the Animated Series.  Riddler makes them answer the Riddle of the Minotaur. The only way to defeat the Riddler is to answer his riddles correctly.  He is a villain and Batman has to save Gotham City from his menacing ways…  (he went on and on)

It’s all a mythtery to me.

Sam:  I am a mythical beast.  I don’t mean that I am a beast that is mythical, I mean that I watch the Mythical Show.  I have seen eight episodes and that means that now I have seen more episodes than Katie.

Life has its ups and downs.

Sam was in Katie’s room, playing with her desk chair by raising it up and then sitting on it to lower it – over and over.

Katie: Sam please don’t do that.

Sam: I’m sorry. (then just continues on)

Katie: Sam, I asked you to not do that. Please stop, you might break it.

Sam: I just cannot help myself.

Katie: If you can’t help it then you should probably leave my room.

Sam: (As he is walking out) I feel so unappreciated.

It’s getting hot in here.

Katie: There’s this lightbulb at this fire station. You know. It is a fireman place.

Scot: Yes Katie, I know what a fire station is.

Me: Wow. Did you really think we did not know what a fire station was?

Katie: No, I just didn’t know if I was calling it the right thing.

Scot: You know, it is a place with big trucks and a lot of hoses.

Me: And a lot of HOT guys.

Katie: I was going somewhere with this…
