My sisters-in-law, talking about how many kids their old friends have: "She has four kids, so she's probably sitting home not working."

"She has a lot of pretties": our *precious* 4 year old nephew, admiring our dog.

our *precious* 4 year old nephew, admiring our dog.

If he reads that at age 15, he's going to hate you for calling him 'precious.'

[gleefully] "No! It's a cockroach!"

A four-year-old in a toy store, when he asked his mom to guess what he was holding behind his back.

"I think you should call yourselves 'Sheveled'." - friend of drummer, when discussing possible names for new band. (I'm favoring 'Sinead O'Connery'.)

"Seems like SOMEBODY ate a grumpy cookie. Maybe even ALL the grumpy cookies!"

(San Diego zoo, woman surrounded by a gaggle of kids but talking to her husband. And I am *so* stealing it.)

At Shedd Aquarium in Chicago:

"It's going to eat me!" Panicky scream from a four-year-old being held up to a fish as big as he was.

"NEMO-NEMO-NEMO-NEMO!" From a girl looking at a clownfish.
