Bradie and Danielle were appalled when they found out Alex had never used a crayon; as you can see by the look on their faces, they are thinking, “poor child.”
After several hours of practice, Alex mastered crayons and drew a duck. To celebrate they all posed for a picture.

Bradie: I cannot see you therefore you cannot see me…I am the master, you are the grasshopper.
Bradie: There is no need to cry grasshopper, here I am.

Bradie: Do what I do.
Sara: Why?
Bradie: Quick, he has the silver thing; do what I do. You better not ruin this for me, I have to run and make sure he did it right.
Marcus: …click…
Bradie: Alright dad, show me the back of the silver thing.

Bradie: Funny shaped pillow, check, blankey, check; small creature, check, place the small creature on the funny pillow, check. I am so much better at this than mommy; look how calm and serene sheep looks.
A conversation with my wife:
Sara: Marcus, come here (she is upstairs)
Marcus: I will be right there (I am solving the worlds problems, one at a time)
…I walk upstairs as she leave the loo and jumps into the bed…
Sara: I do not know anything!
Marcus: …. (quizzical look forms on my face)
Sara: …laughter…
Marcus: I am going to pee, by the time I am done you should have your thoughts straightened out
…intermission…
Sara: Sometimes I love that bewildered look I can put on your face
