A matter of scientific inquiry
Overheard from the bathroom upstairs…
“Hey Dad! Guess how hard I can smack my butt!”
SMACK.
“Ow!!!”

Poor thing never had a chance
Morris: “Milo, whatcha drawing?”
Milo: “A T-Rex fighting a unicorn. That’s you riding on the T-Rex’s back.”
Morris: “OH YEAH! Unicorn, you’re going down!”
Ix-nay the um-wiggling-bay
Morris: “Mommy, come watch the Bubble Guppies video with me!”
Me: “After I finish the dishes, sweetie.”
Milo: “I’ll watch it with you.”
Morris: “Okay!”
Milo: “But if it has any guys butt wiggling, I’m running upstairs to hide in my room!”
Me: “Wait a minute — YOU’RE scared of a little butt wiggling?”
Milo: “YES! BUTT WIGGLING IS VERY, VERY SCARY.”
Me: “You have honestly shocked me.”
He’s more of a “talk it out” kind of guy
Me: “The night Max made mischief of one kind and another, his mother called him ‘WILD THING!’ and Max said, ‘I’LL EAT YOU UP!’ so he was sent to bed without eating anything.”
Milo: “That is SUCH bad parenting.”
Cue Inigo Montoya
Morris, riding his scooter up the street as we walk Milo to the bus stop: “I’M SEXY AND I KNOW IT! I’M SEXY AND I KNOW IT! I’VE GOT PASSION IN MY PANTS AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO SHOW IT! I’M SEXY AND I KNOW IT! I’VE GOT PASSION IN MY PANTS AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO SHOW IT, SHOW IT!”
Milo, rolling his eyes: “He’s soooooooo complicated.”
I was hoping for a more scientific explanation
Rob comes in to the living room to give the boy plates of pancakes for breakfast.
Milo: “Wooooo! The gods have blessed me with a snack!”
Will be checking the wall at the bottom of the stairs for tell-tale indents later on…
Milo: “Mom! Your batwing shawl can actually make you fly!”
I look at him.
Milo: “It does! I mean, it makes you glide a little bit, at least.”
Me: “I’m not sure I want to know how you know that.”
Portrait of the blackmailer as a young man
Milo: “Mom, can I paralyse you? I have to give you three kisses to unparalyse you so…”
Me: “Guess you’d better paralyse me, then.”
Hindsight is 20/20, dude
Milo: “Mom, do NOT pull this trigger.”
Me: “Oh? Why?”
Milo: “It’s a galaxy blower-upper. It blows up entire galaxies… Oh, why did I make a galaxy blower-upper? Now our entire galaxy is in DANGER!”
Science class has taught him so much
Milo: “Squinching Morris is part of my life cycle.”
