Winter Wonderland

More Andrew-isms

Andrew: Mommie, I'm so glad I'm a human 'cause I don't want to be an animal. And, I definitely don't want to be a dinosaur. You know why? 'Cause dinosaurs are extinct -- that means they're dead!

Andrew: Mommie, are flying reindeer real?
Mommie: No!
Andrew: Then Santa is not real either?! There is no Santa?
Mommie: ................ Santa climbs down the chimney, remember?

Andrew, mad at Mommie: When I grow up, I'm going to call you a bad name because you keep playing lame Russian music.

Boston College Thinks I'm a Christian

I realize BC is a Catholic institution, but still... I feel weird about this card they just emailed me. Hey, BC, just because I went to a Catholic grad school, it does not mean I'm a Catholic. Now, had they sent me a Kwanzaa card, that would have been more interesting.

Observed by a woman who loves you

Sasha: What's a boyfriend?
Andrew: It's man who loves you, but not your Daddy.

Mommie: Would you like some dessert?
Andrew: Sure!
Mommie, handing Andrew a fruit: Here you go.
Andrew, waving Mommie away: I thought you meant real dessert!

Andrew: Mommie, how tall were you when you were 16?
Mommie, at a loss: I don't remember.
Andrew: What about when you were 10?

Mommie: Sasha, you are so delicious, I just want to eat you up!
Sasha: Mommie, you can't eat me up -- I have blood inside myself.

For daddy who's been away

Mommie, Andrew and Sasha are driving home from Sasha's school.
Andrew: Mommie, can you please take the way home that Daddie takes?
Mommie: No, I like my way better!
Andrew: But Daddy's way is much faster!
Mommie: Well, Andrew, when you will start driving, you can take Daddy's way.
Andrew: When I start driving, Sasha will be out of school already!

11 pm. Mommie: Can you guys please go to to sleep already? I'm tired.
Andrew: Can you stay in our room a little longer?
Mommie: No, Andrew. I have a long day ahead of me. I need some rest too. I have to be ready for work tomorrow morning.
Andrew: Just get another job!
Mommie: But I would still have to work hard, no matter what kind of job I had.
Andrew: Well, you could always just cook in a restaurant. That's easy -- you already know how to do that!

Mommie: Andrew, do you want milk chocolate or dark chocolate?
Andrew: Milk!
Biting the piece, inspecting the middle.
Mommie: Do you like it?
Andrew: Yes, but there is no milk inside!

An evening out with the girls

Words, words, everywhere words...

Mommie: Andrew, could you please put this toy away?
Andrew: I'm not your maid!

Mommie: Sasha, come here, you -- gorgeous creature!
Sasha: I'm not creature -- only bugs are creatures, mommie!

Sasha, giving a sticker to Mommie: "You earned it!"

Andrew, explaining why he broke up with his girlfriend: "She got too girly, and I got sick of playing with her."

Fun with words

Andrew is having troubles with his lego creation.
"Man! Why does life have to be so hard!?"

Sasha is trying to get Mommie to build her house.
Mommie: No, Sasha. This is your house -- you build it.
Sasha: No, Mommie. Teamwork, remember? Teamwork.

Mommie: Sasha, you want an apple or a pear?
Sasha: I'd like some candy.

Sasha loves to quote her teachers

Mommie: Sasha, you are the most beautiful, charming, kissable girl. You're also sweet, huggable, lovable...
Sasha: ... And nosy!

Mommie: Sasha, what are you thinking?
Sasha: I think McCain is gonna win!

Mommie: I knew you would like this, Sasha!
Sasha: You know how you knew this? 'Cause you're a smarty pants -- that's who you are!

November Weekend, Wedding

More Andrew-isms

Andrew on his homework: "Mommie, take a look at how I wrote my H's!"
Mommie: "Andrew, why are all the letters so wide?"
Andrew: "Because I didn't want to write too many."
Daddy: "Next time, just write them farther apart."

Andrew on his desert: "I've been wanting jello all these years, and you finally made it!"

Andrew on his bandaged wrist: "At first, I was upset. And then, I realized I looked kinda cool."

Andrew, paying a compliment to Mommie: "Mommie, when are you turning 16?"
Andrew, ruining the said compliment after Mommie replies, soon: "What about 100? When are you turning 100?"

Andrew, unable to sleep: "Mommie, I can't sleep because I'm worried."
Mommie: "What are you worried about?"
Andrew: "Daddy told me that the sun is going to explode. Now, I'm worried that the earth will also explode."
Mommie: "Andrew, don't worry. You will never see the sun or the earth explode."
Andrew, leaving the room and singing to himself: "We're gonna live foreeveer!"

Andrew, answering Mommie who asked him why she loves him so much: "Well, you fell in love with me after you married Daddy. Then I was born. Then you saw me and loved me."
