Out and about

• "Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty! Ready or not here I come — wait, you guys just don't get the concept of 'hide and seek,' do you?"
• "Maybe if I continue to pretend I'm asleep or play dead, these guys will leave me alone."

• "Oh, Mom! I'm not even 14 months old, and I've been infected with girl cooties. I'm gonna die young, aren't I?"

• "I was hoping these would say "Magic Marker" or "Sharpie" or "permanent" — darn! Oh, well, I'll keep practicing my autograph just the same."

• "OK, Grandpa, I'm here to work on the gopher problem you've got in the backyard."
• "Hey, Mom, this gives me an idea how to handle my dirty diapers in the future."
• "I'm gonna see if I can rent this next weekend and take it out to the beach!"
• "I'm doing everything that Uncle Braden showed me last time he took me out for a ride in the car — all the way on the gas pedal, ignore the brake pedal, crank up the stereo and wave at the babes. The only thing different for me is I'm putting my hands on the steering wheel!"
