Telltale Grin

Me: Izaak, I can always tell when you're about to burp because you get this goofy grin on your face.
Izaak: Yeah, I know. I just can't stop it. Maybe I will when I'm older. Right now I can't really help it 'cause it's so funny!

~Happy 9th Birthday Izaak~

Eh, you can sell your knives Mom.

Upon learning that he would be attending an after school Martial Arts program, Izaak said...

Eh, you could probably sell all of your knives for extra money. I'll be able to chop stuff for ya! Well, maybe keep one knife, just in case.

Such a help.

Galaxy Quest

On the way to school this morning...


Izaak: You know what mom? I wish we were writing non fiction stories at school so I could write about how the Andromeda galaxy is going to collide with our galaxy billions of years from now.
Me: Why don't you write a fictional story about how people might react if that happened now?
Izaak: Oh yeah, I bet all of the buildings would really be on fire!

The Hungry Month

From: 11/04/2011
Izy at dinner last night: I'm going to still be hungry after dinner mom. I am just ALWAYS hungry.
Me: Well, actually I think you go through phases. Like you'll always be hungry for about a month. Then for a month you'll barely eat anything...
Izy: hmmmm... Well, I guess October is my hungry month!
