On patriotism
Mom, check it out. I have a wallet in my back pocket and I’m holding a gadget. I’m a real American citizen!
On trends
Um, mom? Can I please wear something a little cooler? And I’m not talking about the weather, either. [He’s not talking about the Darth Vader hat! –Jules]
On coincidence
Mom, I waved my hand like this and the light turned yellow. I can’t decide if it was a coincidence or if I’m magic.
On coincidence, ii
A coincidence, Nico, is when something totally awkward happens that kind of surprises you and you’re, like, whaa?! It’s also when two unrelated events happen simultaneously.
Amy says
Some of the best quotes ever . . .
Jules says
I forgot one! That’s what I get for not double checking my list. Oh well.
Amy says
Just so long as it makes it into the hardback copy of their collection of quotes . . . :)
Christine Leos says
I love these postings!
Kendra says
Well most assuredly it’s not the hat. The hat is amazing.
t says
So funny and so smart . . . what a great combination!
Susan G says
You are most definitely magic, Mikey! In so many ways. :)
Jules says
I think so, too. ;)
Jenn says
Magical events are often found to b on the rise after reading Harry Potter, much like the power of the force is ever-present after a fledgling Jedi is introduced to Luke.
Love the image of what being American really means ;)
Is Mikey (almost) ten? I feel a similarity between he and my little S (I know that Nico and O are the same age).
Jules says
Close! He is 8.5. He turns 9 in June. :)
Jenn says
Ah, my girl will be 10 in August. A solid year’s difference! (She still shows no signs of wanting to be ‘cooler’… much to my relief and surprise). She’s steadfastly sticking to fantasy books, mathematics, and a little dabbling in science. Which is a-ok by me.

Ah, life through a little man’s eyes. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face! :)
Robin Jingjit says
His explanation of coincidence was a perfect mix of adorable, cute kid language and clever, sophisticated explanation. You must be so proud!
