Things the Kids Say: Episode 19

Zoe: Mom, what is this stuff?

Me: Velteeta

Zoe: Belbeetee? 

Me: No. VEL-VEET-TAH!

Zoe: Velbeetus?

Me: Let’s just go with cheese.

—————

Scotty: I’m working on my dictuation.

Britt: You mean ‘diction?’

Scotty: Yeah, that!

—————

Zoe: Rabbits have 20,000 tastebuds, and humans only have 9,000. Except for me. I have 9,001.

(I googled this, and none of those numbers are correct).

—————

Zoe: Imagine how good German pancakes must taste to a rabbit!

—————

Eva: Are you even listening to me?

Zoe: Do I look like a girl who listens?

—————

Eva: Why is it called a ‘honeymoon?’

Zoe: Because you get to be with your honey, and you can stay up all night looking at the moon.

—————

Zoe: I’m really good at best case scenarios.

—————

Eva: Can I watch a show on your phone?

Scotty: No.

Eva: I think you said ‘yes’ wrong!

—————

Me: I must have slept weird. I have a bit of a kink in my neck.

Eva: You have a neck?

—————

Zoe: I only eat granola bars that have sprinkles or 59 chocolate chips.

—————

Eva: Where does Nicky keep his cocaine?

Me: Do you even know what cocaine is?

Eva: Yes, it’s like breath mints.

———-

Zoe: How many cousins do I have?

Me: I have no idea. Our family is so big that I can’t keep track. 

Zoe: What about Luke and Logan?

Me: They are your cousins by marriage but not by blood. They don’t have the same blood we do, but they are still our family. 

Zoe: Is it because I’m cold-blooded?

(With our combined siblings (biological, half, and step) Scotty and I have over 60 warm-blooded nieces and nephews).
