Little Man:  I want to listen to your heart Mommy.
Mommy:  Here it is (pointing to left side of chest)
Little Man:  (looking puzzled)  Mommy, do you have TWO hearts?

Mommy, you're not being nice.  You need to go to time out.

Mommy, when you don't feel good and I don't feel good, we need to sit together and hold hands.

Mommy, I wish that snow was hot and the sun was cold.  Wouldn't that be great?

Mommy, you are driving too close to the grass.  You need to drive straight!

(Did my 5 year old just call me a bad driver?)

Little Man:  Mommy, when we get to school, you have to tell everyone that this is Benjamin's world.
Mommy:  Why?  What does that mean?
Little Man:  It means that it's my world.  But it can be yours tomorrow.  Today it's mine.

Mommy, we have a new kid in our class. His name is Jessie.  But Jessie is a girl's name [from Toy Story].  Why does he have a girl's name?

Daddy:  Are you ready to get up?
Little Man:  Yes.  Pick me up and carry me out of my bed.  Then leave me alone.

My bed's not soft enough so I have to sleep in yours.

Mommy:  Are you ready to get up?

(Little Man is laying in his bed, still awake when he should be sleeping)

Mommy:  Why are you still awake?
Little Man:  Because I'm just thinking.
Mommy:  What are you thinking about?
Little Man:  I'm just thinking about my friends.
Mommy:  What about your friends?
Little Man:  I'm thinking about my friends on a pirate ship.
