A Year in the Life

Judah Quotes:
(in order starting with fall 2010)
  • Judah: "Mama, how did Todd make all that stuff?" I asked who Todd was. She asked again, with irritation. I started thinking..."How does she know Todd? What does he make and why is she interested in it? Could it be Todd Parr (author)?" So, I asked, "How do you know Todd, is he someone from school?" Her reply: "No, Mama, Todd that Nana and Papa told me...who makes all the good stuff in the world."
    Ohh...God.
  • on receiving a shirt: "mama, who gave this to me?"  Your Breen and Pop. "did she buy it on clearance?!?"
  • Looking at an exhibit at the museum that showed hunters with a pile of deer...
Judah: "That is just awful! Santa is going to be very pissed that those guys killed all his reindeer. Oh man!" 
  • "oh! I remember when I was a tiny baby and was first born to the world. In my heart, I remember."
  • "Mama, that kiss was 'cause you are my best friend. ...well, my best Mama...you are not my best friend...My best friend is Abby. So, you can be my best Mama. That kiss was 'cause you are my best Mama."
  • "Mama, why do you call our hood a neighborhood? Let's just call it our hood."
  • "Mama, why do we hunt eggs? That Easter Bunny sure is sneaky!"
  • Mama, I know all my feelings are ok.
  • (driving past some local eateries): Mama, I think Chuck E Cheese is counting on me...
  • on seeing my Discover card, Judah said, " This is so you can go wherever you want. I saw the commercial. Where do you want to go, Mama?"
  • "let's make another penguin EXACTLY like this one...but with different eyes...and a different beak...and I don't like those feet, so let's make them different too...maybe also make the tummy blue..."‎
  • "MAMA! That is SO COOL!" Yeah, it is sweet girl. Hey, I was wondering...do you think I am cool? "Um...no, not really." And so it begins...
