Made with Love
While we were at the restaurant we ordered him a hot chocolate.
I asked Andy which hot chocolate was better, since Sarah makes an awesome homemade hot chocolate mix at home. Andy's response was so sweet. He said, "Mommy's is better, 'cause it's made with love. This one isn't."

A Risk Worth Taking - When You're 5
"I saw something on the ground and maybe it was chocolate and maybe it was poop. So I picked it up to check it out. It was money!"
Lesson: When you're five years old, it's clearly worth the risk of touching poop if the potential payoff might be free, abandoned-and-left-on-the-ground-and-to-the-elements-for-who-knows-how-long, chocolate.
I actually shudder to think what would have happened if either of his original theories had been correct. I'm just really, really glad it turned out to be a grungy coin.

Buzz Joke
Our kids asked Sarah, "What's infinity plus infinity?"
Sarah, "I don't know, what?"
Kids, "2 infinity . . . and beyond!"

What Andy Wanted, A Lot
On Cooper's birthday Sarah allowed him a special privilege by letting him crack the eggs for his birthday brownies all by himself (anyone with small children will know this runs a high shell risk). Andy wanted to try to crack an egg all by himself, too, but Sarah informed him that this was a special thing just for Cooper on his special day. Andy tried to understand and, as it has now become apparent, solidly locked the desire away into his heart to crack an egg someday.
A few weeks later I was making cookies. Andy saw me get an egg out as part of the process and, recalling that firm desire, said with much enthusiasm, "I want to crap an egg! Can I?"
It is quite unfortunate for Andy that the amount of laughter traced back to that question has locked that memory in our minds for YEARS to come.
But truly, God help us all if he ever really does crap an egg.
Double-O Cooper
I said, "Cool."
He followed up with, "You know why? It's 'cause I'm very secrety"
