Birthday Dinner

Me: It's your dad's birthday today.
C: I'm gonna check to see if we have any cake mix.
Me: I don't think we do.
C: But we have muffins!  And I'm gonna choose what kind! ... I choose muffins!

C: And we're gonna have pasta for dinner!  So I'm going to put the pasta and the dessert on the counter for you to remember to make.
Yum... Tuna Helper and apple cinnamon muffins.

C: Where is Dad?
Me: At work.
C: When will he be home?
Me: After you're in bed.
C: I don't want him to work! I want him to be home at dinner!
Me: I know, buddy.  But we can have special dinner with him tomorrow.

C: I will just tell Dad that these muffins are for after dinner and he'll say "That's right!"
Said to me when I was quality testing *before* dinner.. ;)

C: When it snows the next day, I'm gonna remember that you will come out and play with me in the snow every time!

C: We're gonna have to make a deal about you coming up to play trains!

Colton on Yoga

C: When you go to yoga to dance, are you gonna use that bumpy thing I'm pointing to?  Yes or no?!
Me: That bumpy thing? Oh, my mat?
C: Yeah.
Me: Yes, I'll use it when I go to yoga, but not when I dance.
C: Why don't you use it to dance?
Me: Because I don't need it to dance.
C: Oh, but can I use your mat when I exercise?
Me: Sure, buddy. 

C: Can we eat all Dad's cake?
Me: No, we should probably share with Daddy since it's his birthday.
C: Oh, but when it's my birthday, I won't share!
Me: Sharing is nice, bud.  You probably should.
C: You can eat the candles.
Me: Uhm, no.
C: But they smell yummy.
Me: But we don't eat them.
