Sometime in early 2012:
Jack was lecturing me about not doing something...
Jack: You might fall on your asses!!!
Jack: You might fall on your asses!!!
Later that day…
Me: Jack, do you know what an ass is?
Jack: It’s a body part.
Me: Which body part?
[Simultaneously impressed and horrified he may know the truth.]
Jack: I
dunno. Like around your chin or
something.
Randomly...
Jack: What if… I went to church and Jesus was there…
Dying on the cross?? … of our church?... [I’m scrambling to figure out what to
say, assuming he’s horrified by the thought.]
That would be funny!!

I read The Fox and the Hound (Tod & Copper) to Jack.
At the end, it says, "Tod will always love Copper... And Copper will
always love Tod. But they know they will never play together again."
Jack says, "Mommy, that's like me and Corgan and
Keoni and Jay." (super sad face)
I say, "Yes, in a way. But it's not their job to
kill you, so that's good."
He says, "Yeahhh... that's real good."

While wearing an IronMan mask: “My team wears different
masks for lots of reasons. 1. It is 3D
for movies.
…
…
ACHOO!
2. It’s germ protection.
...
But I lift it up to sneeze on bad guys.

Wayne: Yeah
Jack: Were you a tank guy or somethin?

Jack has never been a good sleeper. On our last trip to Texas, he was sick and had a hard time getting comfy in his hotel bed. After I'd already passed out from exhaustion and he'd watched an hour of Wonder Pets on the iPad, he closed it and...
Jack: K, Mom. I'm gonna be out like a light bulb now.

We waited 2 hours to see the doctor at an urgent care clinic so while we were in the exam room, Jack grabbed some gloves and was pretending to be the doctor.
Jack: {sigh} I know... doctors get sick, too.

I was frustrated and being silly to ward off any grumpiness...
Me: Yippee-ki-yay!
Jack: Yippee pineapple yay!!!
More randoms...
Jack: I want a baby brother.
Me: We don't get to choose, though. Would you be mad if I had a baby girl someday?
Jack: No.
Me: Good. Because I'm praying for a girl.
Jack: I wanna pray!! [Folds hands, squeezes eyes shut.] Dear God, thank you for the food you give us. And for my house. And friends. And can you give us a baby brother? Amen!
Jack: Kings are guys that God trusted to own the world!
Wayne: I spy with my little eye something red.
Jack: Mom's chest?
(It was super hot out!)
