Alpha: Beware the towel of doom!
I don’t know the context, but I believe he was following one of his brothers. With a towel. Of Doom.
Wife (to Delta) : Good job not climbing the ladder to the roof.
Small victories here, folks.
Beta: Nice throw, dad. But next time, try to get it over the plate.
Delta: My pants got wet.
Some Guy: How did that happen?
Delta: I don’t know.
Ignorance is no excuse. Plus, you have been potty trained for many months. We know that you know why and how your pants are wet.
Delta: Look, mom!
Wife: What?
Delta: Pie in the face! Laughter
a few minutes pass…
Delta?
Delta: What, mama?
Wife: Pie in the face!
Delta: I not like that. frown
The funny thing is that most of the kids will react that way – if you say “Pie in the face” to them, they will become upset. Maybe they need to get an actual pie in the face once, so they can realize that just saying it is much nicer.
Delta: I love you mama!
Wife: I love you too, Delta.
I start carrying him off to his bedroom. Partway there, I hear this from him:
Delta: I love the light switch!
Delta: I love everything!
Gamma: Delta, are you immune to poison?
Delta: Yes!
Gamma: That means you’re not allergic to it.
That’s Gamma’s frame of reference. If something makes you sick, you are allergic to it.
Gamma: Ow!
Some Guy: Delta, don’t smack your brother.
Delta: I didn’t smack him – I gave his back a high five!
For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another
