QUOTABLE QUOTES

In the airplane:

Joshua: “I thought I’d be able to see planets and stars while in the airplane, but I am glad that there is a bathroom.”

Micah asked to go potty a lot just so he could flush the airplane toilet and watch the “oooo, blue” liquid flush down.


In the airport in Miami:

Ginny: “What is that?”
Mom: “A water fountain.”
Ginny: “Wow! I’ve never seen one in real life. Can I try it?”

Ryan: “People keep speaking English to me and by the time I realize what language to answer back, I have to go.”


At the Grandparents house:

Ryan: “Grandma and Grandpa must be rich. I see so much carpet here.”

Ginny: “I thought this was a mansion but then I saw that the back yard was small.”

Joshua: “What is this?” (pointing at the microwave).

Ryan: “This will save me tons of time.” (when I explained that when he had dish duty, all he had to do was rinse and load the washer. The dishwasher was a real novelty for all the kids).

None of the kids believed me when I told them that they can now flush the toilet paper down the toilet. Not throwing the paper in the trash will be a hard habit to break.


Around town:

Ginny to Ryan: “Are those mailboxes? I’ve never seen one in real life.”

Ginny in the pool: “Watch me dog peddle.” (doggie paddle)

Ginny: “Mom, what’s a Wal-Mart?”

Thursday Jeff’s mom, Ginny and I were in a car accident. We crashed pretty hard into the person in front of us, but thankfully no one was hurt. After a few second Ginny said, “Why aren’t we moving?” I looked back at her, “Honey we hit the car in front of us. Didn’t you feel that?” Ginny answered, “Oh, that’s what that was? I thought we just went over a big bump.” Ah, my girl is very use to our bumpy dirt roads!

Ginny (when we saw a dog running across the street): “I thought you said there were no animals in American, Mom.” (what I said was that there were no chickens and horses and cows roaming the streets.
