Doggytime

I love when you hold on to your little stuffed brownie dog when you're indignantly upset. You adamantly state your point while holding on tightly.

On Film Time

Mom: Boys, turn off the film
Justinbustin: Why do you call it a film?
Mom: 'Cuz that was what it was called back in the day.
Shawners: Well, you're not in the 30s anymore, so get used to it.

On Having a Zoo

Randomly coming up to me while I'm on the computer, Shawners says, "When I grow up, I'm going to get a flying squirrel, a lemur, and a bat. For my pets."

On Parents Getting Old

Shawners: Mom, you're starting to wear old clothes like Grandma and Aunt W.

I took the opportunity to explain vintage to him and how it's coming back into style thankyewverymuch.

On Living In this Era

Shawners: I wish I was born in 3000. The whole world would be upgraded.

On Being Social

Shawners: Mom, I'm having social problems with my underwear. They hate me. They run away from me and say, "I don't want to smell your butt."

On Dogs and Tails

"Does Brown fart when you pull her tail? Let's find out." After he goes over to our half lab/half rottie and pulls her tail, "Nope."
