August in Jersey

• "Oh, guys, I wanted nachos"
• "Yeah, this is OK, but I think I could have even more fun watching the Rockies."

• "Mom, I could see better if you didn't put block my view with your arms."

• "You think that went far, Dad, how about watching this (lolli) pop fly!"

• "Oh, yeah, everybody's pretty pleased that I'm eating watermelon with a fork by myself . . . but wait until they see what I did with all the seeds."

• "You think I'm making a mess now, just wait until you see what I can do with a baked birthday cake."
• "Grandma knew best to hold on tight because I have a tendency to dive into chocolate cake batter."

• "Dad, I may be only one year old, but I'm smart enough to know my favorite birthday cards are the ones that have cash or checks inside."

• "No, I'm not messy with my birthday cake and getting it all over me -- I'm just saving some for later, you know."
• "How am I going to learn to eat with utensils if you don't give me a little freedom to explore with my food."

• "Get OSHA on the phone pronto! They're giving me a hair cut, I'm sitting in the sink and I've got electric clippers right in my grasp."

• "Here's my favorite knock-knock joke, Grandma. Knock, knock . . . Dwayne . . . . Dwayne the sink, I'm dwowning."

• "I can't tell what bothers me more - that Mom gets more candles on her cake than I did last week, or that by the candle count, she's only 13 years old."
• "You saw me and my birthday cake - just think what I could do with this one."
