• "Oh, the driveway's almost done and there are no "little guy" snowshovels available to use? Be still, my broken heart."

• "Some kids get sent to their room for time out. I get sent to a cardboard box."
• "Hey, Mom and Dad, when I said I wanted my own room, I was thinking of something a little bigger."
• "Hey, Mom and Dad, when I said I wanted to try a little boxing with my friends, this isn't what I had in mind."
• I need a change of scenery. Just put a lid on me a stamp on top of that and ship me off to Utah, please."

• "I wanna be like Mary Poppins and have my horse just jump off the merry-go-round and head off over there!"
• "The merry-go-round here and the food court over there ... yep, when I grow up, I wanna be a mall cop!

"It's fun to be up here and look down at the top of people's heads, rather than look up at the bottom of people's noses."

• "And please, God, bless my Daddy to wake up and turn switch over from the Nets broadcast so I can watch something interesting . . . . and bless me with Jimmer's range and touch . . . and bless it so that the socks I flushed away won't clog the toilet . . . "
