Me: Ok...
TheKid: Never, ever use a fortune teller. They LIE!

TheKid: Romance is when you really love someone, and you kiss them on the eyeball!
Germs = babies
TheKid: [Boy] and me played the kissing game today!
TheDad: Baby, you probably shouldn't play the kissing game with your friends, that's a good way to get germs.
TheKid: Also, I'm not old enough to have babies. When I'm old enough I can play the kissing game and get germs to have babies.

TheKid: I don't want to blow my nose. There's no boogies in there, just broccoli.

Me: Well, we can go to where the snow is, we don't have to live where the snow is.
TheKid: But that wouldn't be very efficient!
