Porter: Thinking

Great-Gma Wessel:  "I think..."

Dane:  "Uh oh, careful about thinking. It'll hurt."

Porter (with a smile):  "Daddy, I'm thinking!  It doesn't hurt."

Porter: Everything Bald

Porter had his head shaved for dressing up as the AVATAR.

Then he noticed how everything is bald.

Porter at the breakfast table with his biscuits and peaches...

He stabs his peach holds it up and says:

"This is the sun... going bald."

Debany: Persistance

Debany playing with her siblings.

Debany:  "Catch me when I fall back."

Debany after she isn't caught:  "Oh oh, let's try that again."

Myanna: Occasional Generosity

Myanna:  Who wants the last olive?

Mom:  You.

Myanna:  No, it's Dad's.

(She walks away... then turns around and comes back.)

Myanna:  Okay, I'll eat it -- cause you told me to.

Porter: tickets and flies

Porter:  I'll put this paper over our ticket cups so the flies won't get them

Mom:  But flies don't want tickets.

Porter:  I'll keep this paper on so the 'ticket flies' won't get to them.

Mom:  Ok.  Sounds good.  :)

Porter: really important

Mom:  "Porter? I have something really important to tell you."

I whisper in his ear, "I love you."

Mom: Did you hear that?

Porter:  "No."

I whisper in his ear again, "I love you."

Mom: Did you hear that?

Porter, "yes.  Mom, I have something important to tell you."

Mom:  ok (expecting an I love you back.)

Porter: "If there's a fire, we have to evacuate.  Good thing we have a new van.  But who's going to drive the truck?"

Mom:  "Thanks, Porter.  That IS really important.  :)"

Porter: Mountain Stuff

Porter comes to our door in the morning and says:

"Can we go for a drive?"

Mom: "Where do you want to go?"

Porter: "We can go for a drive to the mountains.

See the rocks on the mountains... they're real pretty.

See the leaves on the mountains... they're real pretty.

See the snow on the mountains... its real pretty.

You know, mountain stuff.

We took a drive with our new truck to the mountains.

Now we need to take a trip to the mountains in our new van."

(All this out of him this morning through our bedroom door.)

Mom:  "Yeah, Porter.  I think we can go for a drive.)
