Owen, strumming on a toy guitar: "Oh it's hard to stay caaaaallllllm, when your parents say noooooo!"
J: "Why is there a chair in our front bush?"
Owen: "I was angry."
Owen: "I've been thinking that I'd like to play my piano songs on a stage in front of people."
Me: "That kind of sounds like a piano recital. Sometimes piano teachers will have their students do that, and maybe you could?"
Owen: "Would they give me money?"
Owen to Felix: "I'm going to be a running back for a football team when I grow up. Or maybe a baseball player or a hockey player."
Felix in response: "I'm going to be a song player!"
Owen back to Felix: "I might be a soccer player too, but I don't love soccer. I'm only fond of soccer."
Owen to J: "Don't tell anyone at your birthday party that Daddy is your favorite person, because they will be jealous."
Owen, complaining: "Felix and I were having a sword fight and when I shouted, 'Zeus favors me this day!' Felix hit me right in the eye with his sword and it hurt."
Owen, strumming the toy guitar: "When you're riding to camp will you be loud in the van? Will you act kind? Maybe? Or maybe a bit of both."
Owen, looking at High Falls with his binoculars: "I see a rainbow! And a fish going over the waterfall. And there's a deer! And there are some flamingos! I think I see some fossils too. There's a wooly mammoth!"
