Me: "Emma, did you watch the inauguration today at school?"

Trevor: "Is that a cartoon?"

Emma: "No, it's where they swore in the new president."

Trevor: "Ohhh. Hey, I watched that at school too!"

Me: "You did? Do you know our new president's name?"

Trevor: "Yep. Rock Obama!"

"i don't want to go to school today."

"sorry, you're going to school today."

2 minutes later...

"Ooh. My back hurts."

"I'm sorry about that. You're still going to school today."

"But it really hurts."

Only Trevor would come up with a bad back to get out of going to school. Forget vague, disprovable symptoms like a sore throat or tummy ache - my six-year-old has back trouble.

Quotable Keegan: Confessions

"Um, I never told you this, but when I was in the seventh grade I tried to turn myself into a werewolf."

Never!

"Trevor, after Rudolph you are going to bed."

"Never!"

"Yes. Bed."

"Never!"

"I mean it."

"Two words. Second word: 'nev'. Last word: 'nev-er'"

"You are going to bed when this is over."

"Did you hear me? T-O-V-O-R. Never!"

A Trip to Circle K...

...for a treat. it is 5:30 pm and we are all in our PJs. Trevor picks up a Hershey bar.

"Do you know what this says?"

"What?"

(moving his fingers over the words)

"'Cho-co-late Bar. It's Delicious! 55 bucks."

Next he opened the door to the beer cooler. Feeling the rush of cold air:

"Holy Shrimp!"

Um...

Scene: Trevor is in the bathtub and Emma runs in to pee.

"Get out, Emma!"

"Why?"

"You don't belong in here."

"Why not?"

"Because. You don't have a penis."

"Trevor, I'm a girl. Girls don't have penises."

"Oh well. Maybe you'll get one when you're older."

Makes sense

"all that hungry makes me thirsty!"
