Overheard in the Tieche Household

Quote 1:
JUSTUS:
(looking at baby sister one morning)
Baby Jaelle - you're my best husband.

NICOLE:
That sentence is wrong on so many levels.

Quote 2:
JUSTUS:
(running with balloon)
Pop, pop, pop.

ME:
(citing a famous line from a Pringles commercial)
You know, Justus. Once you pop, you can't stop.

JUSTUS:
(earnestly looking at me)
Why?

Quote 3:
JUSTUS:
I have a good joke.

ME:
Okay! Let me hear it.

JUSTUS:
You start. Say knock knock.

ME:
Knock knock.

JUSTUS:
Who's there?

ME:
Umm.

Quote 4:
JUSTUS:
I want to eat a banana.

ME:
(holding baby Jaelle and feeding her a bottle)
Okay.

JUSTUS:
I can't peel it.

ME:
I'll peel it for you.
(wiggling fingers on his free hand underneath Jaelle)
Put the banana in this hand.

JUSTUS:
What?

ME:
(again, wiggling fingers on his free hand)
Put the banana in this hand.

JUSTUS:
(confused)
Put the banana in the sand? That wouldn't taste good, Daddy.
