He's four now, and the quotes are just getting better.
Truman on his fourth birthday, which we spent at Matt's parents' cabin up Logan Canyon.
This shot is from Tony Grove.
This boy...
...thinks he is so smart when he saves time by washing his hands before he goes to the bathroom. (He gets mad when he has to wash them again after!)
...likes to sing the words "rock, paper, scissors" to the hymns in church.
...is convinced that the "sprinkles" on his feet (wrinkles) make him itch.
...tells inventive stories. Most recently, he came home from school on his motorcycle to find that Mommy and Daddy were gone getting married at the temple. Then Daddy skipped work to go on a mission.
...insists on eating grapes with no holes in them. (!)
And as for quotes:
OUCH.
Mommy asked, "Am I losing my mind?!" Truman answered, "What mind?"
"Mom, but you have such a big bum."
"I sure wish Grandma Jill was my mom."
"Mommy, when are you gonna go home?"
"Home where?"
"Home to the zoo, cuz that's where you live!"
Thinking about the future
"I think I want Daddy to stay a dad and I will grow up to be a Grandpa instead."
"Mom, when is Earth gonna get old?" (EVERY night before bed. Who even put this thought into his head?!)
"I want to be a daddy and a grandpa and a missionary and a fireman and a policeman. Police is last cuz I want to be a policeman forever."
On good vs evil
"I wish bad guys didn't have any bums!"
"Mom, a bad guy named Magic Man turned you into a bird. I'm pretending that."
When Daddy told Truman he was killing ants by coloring on them with sidewalk chalk, he said, "Well, that's just the way I hath to do it."
"I'm Iron Man! I just ironed that dragon's head off and its wings!"
"Why is that police car going so fast?"
"Maybe to catch a bad guy."
"Like a bad guy who kills fish?" Then, "[GASP!] Are there bad guys on earth?"
Wonderings...
"Mom, when you eat the fudgsicle and it breaks into pieces in your tummy, does it fall on the baby's head?"
"Jordan, why are YOU driving? Why isn't Carly driving? Is it because she's not a very good driver?"
At the end of Land Before Time: "So...are they gonna turn to humans now?"
Outta NOWHERE
"Mom, baseball players don't. Have. Phones. Cuz they just play baseball."
When Mommy told Truman to count sheep to help him get to sleep, he said, "Yes, and then the kangaroo will jump out and scare the sheep!"
Holding Mommy's hair straight out to the sides of her head:
"Mommy, you're turning into an animal."
"What kind?"
"A bat."
Grab bag
"Number one: I run. Number two: I run fast. Number three: I run into you. Those are the clues."
Complaining about bumpy roads on the way home from Logan: "Stop it! Stop shaking my ears!"

Hahahaha. I love it. I read them all out loud to Mike too. :D We need to play.
All I can say is WOW! Brooke and I about died laughing.
That is mind boggling. He is a freaking genius! Good thing you are writing it all down.

Eli
Gavin
Caden

aww I sure do miss that kid! Sorry we couldn't see more of each other when we lived close to each other. I was going through a rough time :(
So darling! I need to write down the cute things my kids say. Although I must admit, they aren't that cute!
That kid is crazy. Where on earth does he get that from? Surely not from a Richard Simmons picture-posting, Jack-o-lantern thieving and ransoming, Greek singer I know and love.
My favorite quote is this one:
"Why is that police car going so fast?"
"Maybe to catch a bad guy."
"Like a bad guy who kills fish?" Then, "[GASP!] Are there bad guys on earth?"
