Vocab Genius

The Brain told me that SuperD hpad decided to go with him on a school field trip. He told me, "Dad is going as a concierge!"

Green with Envy

The Brain was comparing pictures of himself to pictures of Pinky. In several of his pictures, he was caught with a goofy look on his face while Pinky's had full smiles. He said, "Why is Pinky so photosynthesis?"

Sassafras

SuperD woke Pinky this morning, but she was sleepy and didn't want to get up. She argued with him.

So he said, "Get up, and no sass."

As he walked into the hall, he heard her tiny voice say jokingly, "But that's my thing..."

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

As we were in the car listening to Christmas music, the Brain and I heard a familiar song. 

I asked, "What makes him a hippo hero anyway?"

The Brain replied, "Maybe he wears a cape or something."

Christmas Joy

Overheard in my second grade classroom:

[little girl humming "Jingle Bells"] 

Me: E, you have a lovely voice, but please save it for music class.

E: I just can't hold my jingle in!

Numbers are hard

The Brain (after struggling with his math homework and realizing he was trying too hard): I overthink things a lot, like when I multiplicate.

Ha!

As the Brain headed toward the Walmart bathroom, SuperD said: 

We'll be in women's clothes. [pause] Well, I won't be in women's clothes; your mom will. We'll be in the women's clothing department."
