Overheard Today:

Carter and Archie had double the fun this morning with their friends Maddie and Max visiting- all four kids played together for most of the morning. The following are snippets of their conversations:

We’ve had practical:

Maddie: We can’t have a dog because my brother pulls their tails and then he tries to ride the dog like a horse, I mean, how safe is that?

Existential:

Carter: okay. You pretend you’re spiderman and I’ll pretend I’m your water bottle.

Esoteric:

Max holding spiderman cell phone
Cell phone: Shut it down, Octavius.
Max: Well, I’m at Carter’s house right now.

Creative:

Carter: One way to hold your breath is to put it in a balloon.

Expository:

Maddie: I want to grow up to be George of the Jungle, only short, not grown up size.
Carter: Is he the same as Tarzan?
Maddie: No, he’s George of the Jungle. Tarzan is Tarzan.

Mathematical:

Carter: You can’t catch me because I’m a zillion bagillion trillion zillion bazillion three hundred fifty light years away.
