Personal Encouragement

"Did you win?"

My 3-year-old son after I told him why my bike was going in the car with us to preschool drop-off.  I explained that I was training for a race (my first sprint triathlon). I said, no, I didn't win, I am just practicing. He said, "oh, will you win the real race?" I said um, no, I'm not going to win and he again asked why not. I said it was just to challenge myself and I'm trying something new and this was to help keep Mommy healthy and he said, "so you will win?" Eventually I just told him that I did, in fact, win. He is very proud of me.

Clothing Optional

"No naked wrestling! Dear God, I can't believe I have to say that!"

Sally, to our 5- and 3-year-old sons after bath time. Naked everything seems totally appropriate to them even when it is kind of dangerous. See wrestling reference above.

Financial Planning

"We should buy a Ferrari...or a McLaren.  After we pay off the house."

Jay to Sally after seeing the new Formula 1 racing movie, Rush. Yes, Ferrari is definitely our first post-mortgage purchase.

Poll Taking

"Raise your hand if you like licking bugs!"

Our 5-year-old son, with his hand raised. Boys are so gross.
