The World According To E, Ryan and The Girl

Sibling Love Rule No. 5: Stand up for yourself or get run over

E: Ryan, does that bother you?

Ryan: I don't know.

E: Well there is a "no" in "I don't know" so that means no.

cupcake honesty

Mom: E, would you try a vanilla instead of chocolate?

E: Sure. (takes a bite) Very yummy!

Mom: So I'll give you a vanilla cupcake.

E: But I want chocolate.

Mom: You just said you liked the vanilla.

E: Mommy, I just said that because I love you.

 

not that blind

Mom: Lily! Give Daddy his glasses back. He can't see without them.

E: Lily! Without his glasses, everything will look like blurry pizza.

red velvet cake

E: Mommy, do you know what I like best about red-velvet cake?

M: No, what?

E: It tastes really good.

E: (pause) Do you know what I like second-best?

M: No, what?

E: It's red.

likes

Lily: Daddy, I'm quiet.

Me: Good job, Lily, you know Daddy likes quiet.

Lily: Yes! (pause) Daddy...I like yummy.

 

 

it begins

E: What does "this man stole my heart mean?"

Mom: When someone steals your heart, it means you really love them.

E: Oh...

stolen heart

Me: Do you understand what "stole my heart" means?

E: Yes. It means someone takes your heart out of your body and runs away and you chase them but you have to stop because you lose all your blood. Then you fall over and they realize that you can't move without your heart so they put it back it.

Me: Yeah, that's pretty much it.

 

Sibling Love Rule No. 6: Always be ready to ridicule

Lily: Meeee-a-wow. Meee-a-wow.

Daddy: Oh...you're a kitten!

Lily: Yes!

E: That's one weird kitten.

 

e the musician

E found an old toy guitar we bought a few years ago and danced around the house playing it.

E: Daddy, do you know when you go outside and play an instrument and people throw money in your case?

Me: Yes, a street entertainer.

E: I want to do that! I already know rock (plays), cello (plays and it sounds the same) and light music (same again.)

E: Can you teach me any more songs?

dumpty

TV: Humpty Dumpty had a great...what? Is it apple?

E: (laughing) They said apple! Well, an apple might cheer Humpty Dumpty up after he fell though.
