Quotable Ian, August Edition

After I left the playground equipment (space ship) to check on Nina in her stroller, and then came back to the “ship.” – “Daddy, don’t you go to outer space alone without me ever again.” (This was at the “red dinosaur” park, known to grown-ups as Millennium Park.)

“The snapper of the toes thing.” (Nail clippers.)

“I want spiky squares with white stuff on them.” (Frosted Mini Wheats.)

After Ian went to Kasey’s house (neighbor) –
Me – “Oh he had rescue guys, did he?”
Ian – “Yes he did, and trains.”
Me – “Do we need rescue guys.”
Ian – “No, we don’t have rescue guys.”
Me – “Yeah, I’m asking if we NEED rescue guys because we don’t have any.”
Ian – “No, we don’t need rescue guys because Kasey has rescue guys. If I want to play rescue guys I go (over) Kasey’s house.”
Me, beaming with pride – “That’s right, kiddo. You’re very smart.”

Funny exchange involving Ian, while he was on the potty –
Melissa – “It’s green. GREEN.”
Me – (pauses, trying to remember…) “Blue moon ice cream.”
Melissa – “oooh, right.”
