a assortment of quotes that have piled up.

As we walked by our brothers, staring at their computer screens...
Lizzie: Every time I walk by my brothers, I am awed by their intelligence.

At band...
Mr. Page: With this piece, y'all have to be able to watch at two pages at the same time. You have to watch at that page, and this Page. *points at himself*

Also at band. (unfortunately, this would be funnier if I spoke french, but with the help of a translation site, I took a wild guess at what was said in french...)
Mr. Page: OK trumpets, y'all aren't getting this part... *bum-bums it* ...Ok? Just the trumpets...
Mark: I don't have that part, I have nothing then something totally different.
Mr. Page: Oh, well then just double with Danny for it. *They play it.*
Mr. Page: that was better... ...again.
Mark: but, that part here goes right into my part.
Mr Page: yeah, just go straight out of that into yours, Ok?
Mark: ....
Mr. Page: Comprenez?
Mark: Oh. I get it.
Mr. Page: L'obtenir?.... Bien?...... Obtenu il?
Mark: I GET IT.


We were talking about how David's behavior has been improving lately...
Joel: What? He attacked me this morning!!
Daddy: Because you broke his lego scene.
Joel: No, because I broke his lego airplane. I accidentally hit it with a beanie baby.
Me: How'd you do that?
Joel: I was throwing it at David.
Lizzie: Why?
Joel: He was throwing them at me!
Lizzie: And why was he doing that?
Joel: I don't know...
David: He karate chopped me!!
Daddy: Why'd you do that?
Joel: I was trying to read, and he was dancing like a ghost!
David: SO??
Daddy: what's wrong with that?
Joel: On my BED.

While we were talking about how I needed a new lens for my camera(my zoom lens is broken!) :(
Joel: if you had a zoom lens and a microscope lens they'd cancel each other out and you wouldn't have a lens at all.

--Sarah

Alternate personalities and sharing hands.

Lately I've been amusing myself by talking to Sarah and Joel's alternate personalities.

Jenny (Sarah's alternate personality with a high-pitched voice): I want some ice cream!
Me: Oh, Jenny's back! You've been gone a while.
Jenny: Yes, I went to New Zee-*gasp*-a-land! I got to *gasp* see the canyon-thing they were riding through when they were being chased by the White Witch's army!
Me: Are you blonde?
Jenny: Yes..... why do you ask?

Lenny (One of Joel's alternate personalities. He has two, the other is called Bubba and Bubba is more popular): No one likes me.
Me: Well, Lenny, Bubba usually shows up whenever Joel's at swimming and stuff. None of Joel's friends know about you. They might like you if you'd just let them meet you.
Lenny: I don't want to.
Me: Then stop complaining that no one likes you. Joel's family are the only people that know you, and we all like you.

And I just forgot what Lenny said about Joel, so I asked Jenny, who is sitting next to me at the moment.

Me: Do you remember what Lenny said about Joel?
Jenny: No, I don't.
Me: Go back to being Sarah for a second, Sarah's not blonde.
Jenny: I don't want to go back to being Sarah, she's too stressed out; she annoys me.

(disclaimer: they don't REALLY have alternate personalities, they just do it for fun)

Earlier today on the way to basketball practice David was holding out one of his hands and telling Joel, "Okay, this is you." And then Joel smacked the hand and David laughed. "You're hitting yourself! That's you!"
Joel hit his hand 3 more times.
David: That's you! Ow, ow!!

It was funny, but I had to make them stop. After all, Joel was hitting David.... even though they both thought it was funny.
