Economy

Asmund: If you leave us alone we'll start our own economy.

Asmund: Can I drink coffee upstairs in my bedroom while I make weapons? 

Eldric: It's so boring to have not candy!

When Asmund blows on dandelion seeds, he says he wishes for more dandelions. He says he wishes that wish because it will probably come true.

Eldric, "I am eating this aminal."

Aldwyn, "No, amiwol. Aniwol."

The "animal" in question was a beet.

 

Raedan advice: Stop being like a dog owner and be a dog.

 

Asmund spent the morning writing a "War Oath" play contract, in order to facilitate "mindful chaos."

 

Asmund: Every culture has soup. You can't live in a culture without eating soup.

 

Raedan: Dad, can we have an eating contest?

 

Aldwyn's suggestion for this Halloween: We paint our house black, we dress up in our costumes, and we scare people.

 

Eldric: Want to hear a joke? Knock-a-knock, who's there? Banana, banana, banana, banana, banana, banana, banana, banana, banana, slip on the floor!

 

What Eldric is talking about at bedtime tonight:

A flower mouse, my snoring, how he's a lightning boy, and he can't hear my snoring in the other room because of magic tears, his stuffed animal octopussy, tentacles, suckers, sticking to things, octopus mouths, bananas slipping down the stairs, meteor caves, gecko shrinking, motorcycles, and jokes in between.

 

Eldric: Did you know I'm a thunder boy? I actually love to be shocked!

 

Asmund: Why are we talking about how Jesus died for our sins when he didn't do a very good job?

 

Aldwyn to Ruth: We have too much children in our house.

 

Aldwyn: I saw a ghost dog, for real!

Eldric: When did you see it?

Aldwyn: Five years ago.

(Of course, they just turned five.)

 

"Sneaky bouncy ball!" What Aldwyn said when he threw the ball down, it hit the ceiling then came back down and hit his head.

 

Rae: never break a pinky promise or you'll have bad luck from my fist

 

Asmund and Wystan's take aways from our constitution unit:

Wystan is glad we have free speech.

Asmund thinks Congress has too much power, and favors an anarchist utopian society of hunters and small scale agriculture.  

 

Raedan: You said we could go to Dollar Tree so we could buy sparkling lemonade. When I asked you, you said something and it was a word related to yes. It was yes, but it was not the word yes. So let's go!

 

Hello from the Etzel house, where Aldwyn is standing in his chair, waving a gnawed chicken thigh, yelling "I love bones GIVE ME BONES," while Asmund is describing broth to him as the superior method of ingestion, and calling it "bone water. "
