"… Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse-headed sleigh."
Bass Pro Christmas
November 21, 2011
"At the Bass Pro Shop, it isn't the real Santa. He's a fake Santa. And the reindeer aren't real, either. Well, they are real. They killed them and put them in suspended-animation."
Mushrooms
November 15, 2011
After Tae Kwon Do, Connor was talking jibberish to one of the other students in his class. The boy's father laughed and said that it must be something in my cooking. Connor exclaimed, "It was the mushrooms!"
Tiny Touch Phone

Tae Kwon Do
October 15, 2011
We are headed to Connor's first martial arts tournament! In the car, we are talking about his Tae Kwon Do white belt form, Chon-Ji.
Connor - Dad, you remember I showed my Chon-Ji to those people at that restaurant, Chicken Papayas.
Lori (to Jason) - He means Popeyes Chicken.
Jason laughs.
Connor - Yeah, I meant to say Chicken Pa-Popeyes.
Jason laughs harder.
(Connor was trying to imitate the commercial that sings, Love that Chicken from Popeyes, but it comes out "Chicken Pa-Popeyes.")
History

Lori - You know there was a time when there were no TVs.
Connor - Well, if there were no TVs, there must've been T-Rexes.
Boxers
October 11, 2011
Lori - Are those boxers getting too small?
Connor - No, they are good.
Lori - I'll go get some more if they are too small. They make larger sizes.
Connor - Like Dad's boxers are bigger. When Dad passes on, I'm gonna use his boxers.
Miner/Minor
October 11, 2011
We are discussing the difference between the words "miner" and "minor."
Connor - I am a minor. Ethan is a minor. You are not a minor. You've passed being a minor. And Dad is passed a double minor. He is a triple-minor because he isn't 20 anymore.

KFC

Jason - Where do you want to eat? Popeyes? Wendy's? Kentucky Fried Chicken?
Connor - Not Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Jason - We just ate there the other day. You wanted to go there.
Connor - No, we didn't eat there.
Jason - Kentucky Fried Chicken is KFC.
Connor - It is? Well, y'all have got to tell somebody!
Movies
October 9, 2011
"Some Disney movies aren't educational. Some of them have someone that dies. Nemo is a Pixar movie, and Nemo's mom died. But no one died in Monsters Inc. Movies need to have a happy beginning, a sad middle, and a happy ending."
Paleontology
September 18, 2011
Connor has been extremely interested in dinosaurs for the past few months. We were watching a documentary on sea dinosaurs. We saw a paleontologist gently brushing some fossils at an excavation site.
Lori - Connor, you know that you can be a paleontologist one day.
Connor - I do want to. But I just want to get it [the fossils] out really fast and get it over with.
Homeschool
September 2, 2011
Connor speaking to a lady during our day out:
"I'm doing homeschool this year. Mom is my teacher, and my dad is more like the Principal. You don't see the Principal very much. Unless you are in trouble."
Connor's song
June 10, 2011
Connor started singing a song he made up while we were in the car one day. These were the different verses.
"Ethan is using his foot as a pick-ax. A pick-ax. Ethan's Bubba is a redneck. Ethan's Mom is good at cookin'. Ethan's Dad poots a lot."
Angry Birds
Connor and Jason were shopping when Connor saw some Angry Birds toys. He picked one up, turned to Jason, and said, "Be real still and pretend you are a pig!"
ABC's
August 16, 2011
"I was just singing the ABC's in my head. I sang it way too fast and my brain stopped working for a little while."
Over the Box
August 24, 2011
"I'm thinking overheaded. I'm thinking over the box. I mean I'm thinking out of the box."
Mario
August 20, 2011
Connor - There's a Boner in my game.
Jason (inquisitively) - There is a what in your game?
Connor - You know. That guy in Mario that is only bones.
Jason - His name is Dry Bones.
Connor - I call him Boner.
Jason (laughing) - Well, let's call him something other than that.
Types of Movies
July 31, 2011
An astute observation:
"There are 3 types of movies. One is like 'Handy Manny.' It is only drawn by hand or computer. One is like 'Wild Kratts.' Part of it is animated and part has real people. The other one is like 'Transformers.' It only has real people."
