Things My Children Say

Quijote asks Ms E: Are you ok?

Miss E (in her most dramatic voice): No. I am emotionally and literally not ok!

I can't remember why exactly Q asked her if she was ok, but I thought her wording was endearingly specific.  ^.^

Mr E is playing a game on his Kindle. It's a pretty cool game that I think is especially educational, because kids have to type things into existence. If they want a dragon, for example, they have to input "large winged dragon." SO aaanyways... he is playing and starts typing:

LAW ENFORCEMENT 

nothing happens

LAW ENFORCEMENT

again, nothing.

Mr E comes over to me, asks me to check his spelling while he types. "Am I writing this right?"

LAW ENFORCEMENT

I say to him: "No, that's correct. Try "cops""

Mr E types: COP

That worked! BWAHAHAHA! He's too articulate for his own good. I did try not to laugh out loud, though. I only told him that such is the power of synonyms.

Special mention- though this is not my child, but the daughter of a friend of ours:

"As they came, they died!"

Epic.
