best friends

we were in the car discussing our best friends.

ralph: i just have one best friend.  guess who it is!
mom: myles?
ralph: no.  will.
mom: it's okay to have lots of best friends.  i have more than one.
ralph: okay, okay.  i have another best friend, too.
lionel: myles?
ralph: no.  it's lionel.  because he really cares for me.

the s-word

lionel was saying good night to dad, when the s-word came up.
lionel: not the sh-word, but the one begins with s and ends with e.
dad: you mean 'stupide?'  (said with a french accent)
cecelia: *giggle*
lionel: yeah.  but in english

cecelia: you know, lionel doesn't want to say the s-word.  not just the sh-word, y'know, s-h-u-t-u-p.
mom:   :)

lionel was telling dad about a scene from annoying orange.
lionel: someone wanted to get in a tub full of mondoo
dad: what's mondoo
lionel: you know, the green soda! (mountain dew)

dad'n'daughter

jonathan and cecelia went to a father/daughter dance friday night... a sock hop.  she wore a poodle skirt (thanks to maggie!) and he had the time of his life!  he danced the night away with his little girl, went to a photo booth with her, and hung out with his friends.  she stood in line for 15 minutes with her girls to take a picture with them, but when the music started, she willingly stepped out and hit the dance floor, giving up time with her friends to be with her dad!

ralph: i know a prayer!  hail mary, full of grace, i don't know and i don't know and i don't know.

extrasize

today, after picking ralph up, we went home before going to the zoo.  sometimes we put itunes on and do push-ups and crunches or planks for 5 songs.  we haven't done it in a really long time as i have had to teach the past few weeks :(  when we got home he yelled, "let's extrasize!"  i was putting together lunch to go to the zoo... i told him i'd be right there.  i heard little hands slapping in the other room, "ralph?  are you okay?"  with strain in his voice, "yes!  i'm just starting without you.  i did my jumping jacks (thus the hands slapping) and push ups (which are more like yoga positions) and now i'm doing this extrasize!"  i go in to look at him, he is flat on his back with his feet up in the air crossing and uncrossing his legs bent at 90 degrees at the knees, "...ugh!  and it's REALLY hard!"

venix

driving in the car, on the way home from a party-ralph: are we in venix?
lionel: what!?!??!  WHAT is venix, ralph!
ralph: i SAID, are we in VEnix!
cecelia: there's no such thing as venix, ralph!
ralph: VENIX!

mom and dad in an early morning snuggle (5AM) in lionel's bed, after being squeezed out of our own bed by two little boys, discussing upcoming events-

lionel: *GASP*
