November 30 2012 - Shower Protest

'Israel, it's time for you to get a shower, don't you think?'  I asked as it was getting late in the morning.
'Do I have to get a shower?' Israel grumbled back.
'What do you think?'
'Errr, why is it that we're always talking about conserving things, but you won't let me NOT take a shower and conserve water?'
Very clever Israel.  Well played.

November 28 2012 - Cool Hair

While watching a karate movie Israel said, 'I don't understand why the bad guys always have awesome hair.'

November 27 2012 - Competition

I asked Israel what it was called when animals battled each other for resources. 
'Competition,' he answered.  'It's like what me and Ahmi and River do for your time.'

November 26 2012 - Traits

'Dad, I bet I wouldn't be as goofy if you weren't in my life.'
'Sure you would be, maybe a little differently....'
'And I probably wouldn't say pecker.'

November 26 2012

'Wouldn't it be cool if there were no people on the Earth but you for just one day?  I would go into all the stores and take as many Lego sets as I wanted.  Then I would go to the bank and take that, and some of that, and this.  I would stuff it into a garbage bag and then lay it on a homeless person.'
'I thought you were the only person on the Earth,'  I interjected.
'Oh yeah.'





'Hey Mom, you know how Egg Nog can dangle from things when you drink it?'  (Referring to the texture and thickness of it in your mouth.) 
'Um....yeah, I think.'
'Well, that's what just happened in Dad's beard when Ahmi threw up in it.  It even looked like he had a bald patch because of how thick it was.'





'Dad, you're like the only grown guy I know that will play with army men.' (As I hear machine gun sounds from Justin in the room where he and Israel are building with Lego's and playing with army men.)
'That's because I'm creative,' Dad joked.
'Yeah....said the guy who is only building a ladder (out of Lego's).

November 24 2012

'Mom, can I make smacking River an art?'

November 19 2012 - Adaptation

Israel and I were talking about adaptation and an organism's survival if it's environment changes.  He thought for a little while and then asked, 'Mom, can we adapt to breathing carbon dioxide instead of oxygen?  I've always wondered what would happen if all of the trees were gone.'

November 16 2012 - Philosophies on Puss

'Isn't it weird that puss looks gross, but in another dimension it could look cool to aliens?'

November 15 2012 - Goat's Milk

When I offered Israel some goat's milk, he looked absolutely disgusted and said, 'I'm not drinking goat's milk...have you seen their nipples?  They're all rusty.  I mean crusty.'

November 3 2012 - Freezing Time

'If I could freeze time, I would pants everyone and then unfreeze time.  People would look around and be like whaaaaaat?!'
