Classic Quotes from the Past Week:

• Ian: "7-Up is only for kids who are 7 or up, so Rebecca's out of luck." (followed by loud crying from Rebecca)
• BEWARE: THESE ARE POTTY QUOTES!!! Rebecca: "What should I say to my poop to make it come out? Hmmm.... PLEASE come out poop!"
• Rebecca: "I know when I'm done going poop when my bum burps."
• Rebecca: "If you do more than 3 poops does the toilet overflow?" We have a toilet that regularly gets over-filled with toilet paper and overflows, so this is a concern at our house. The younger kids are afraid to use that bathroom -- ironic, since they're the ones who overfill it with toilet paper!
• Teancum: "Eeewwww! She's sooooo stinky! She's like a stinky explosion!" Lizzie: "Yep."

Lizzie was soooo sad that Rebecca got to open presents and she didn't.
