Quotations from the Jerz Household (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)
“I don’t want you to go back to work. I want you to be a real daddy, who takes care of me.” (Carolyn, age 3, contemplating the end of the Christmas break.)
“Mommy, what does ‘neat and tidy’ mean?” (Peter, age 7, who studies the periodic table for pleasure.)
“How do I start it?” (My wife, standing in kitchen. Yes, I’m such an awesome houseman that my wife has never learned how to use the dishwasher.)
“I’m not just happy… I’m stupid happy. (Me, describing my reaction to the digital camera I bought myself for Christmas.)

Hilarious quotes, Dennis! However, I imagine that it must be hard explaining to Carolyn why you have to go to work, no?
