Quotable Trevor

2009-01-22T12:42:00.000-08:00

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.

"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...

2008-11-18T06:09:00.000-08:00

...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

emma: "mom, is sex a bad word?"

me: "well, it's not really a bad word."

trevor: "hey, i know a bad word. holy shit, that's a bad word!"

Is that a compliment?

2008-10-13T13:02:00.000-07:00

"What's that?"

"My boob."

"Oh. It looks like a shark."

Thanks for the advice

Honesty is the best policy

"Did you poop at school?"

"Yep!"

"In the potty?"

"Yep!"

"In afterschool or in Mrs. Gaines' class?"

"In Mrs. Gaines' class."

"I'm so proud of you!"

"Yep!"

1 minute later...

"Um... actually, I didn't poop at school."

Yes, that happens sometimes.

2008-10-08T06:00:00.000-07:00

"You know when I got sick in afterschool?"

"Yes."

"There was cereal in my nose."
