Things I didn’t anticipate saying in parenthood:

Lewis, your body isn’t made to digest wax. Please don’t color your crackers and eat them. 

E: see where I hung my fire hat?

Me: yes. Why don’t you make the step your office? You can organize your gear. 

E: yeah! Wait. I need to check the clock. [looks at arm] oh. Nope. 

Me: what time is it? Do you have time to set up your office?

E: no. I don’t. 

Me: what do you have to do?

E: I have to go to RCIA. 

After visiting his new baby brother in the hospital:

E: Levi is my baby and he is SO cute and I can’t wait to see his face. Dad, when will he be born?

E: Aiden K is my friend. 

Logan: where do you see him?

E: Aiden K is my friend from when I lived in college. 

E: I’ll see where daddy is. 

Me: he’s pooping. 

E: why?

Me: bc that’s what he does four times a day. 

E: he’s a super guy. 

[Levi is nursing and making a purring noise.]

A: I love it when he makes that noise while he’s milking. 

E: dad, why you not bring a toy for me in the car?

Logan: Cause that’s not my job. 

E: Yes it is. Your job is to fight the bad guys away from me and bring me my toys

Elias: here’s my sticker! Oh. It ran out of stick. 

Francis: you know, if this was a real sword fight, you’d be dead. 

Elias: well, only for the weekend.
