Asmund just told us that he's Supermarket. As in, he's a super hero named Supermarket.

Asmund sweeping, "Why I have to do EVERYTHING!?"

"I think when Wystan and me get bigger, Wystan is going to be my mommy and have babies come out his tummy."

[

Wystan: "Be bop" for Robot.

Me: "We should get some fly paper."
Wystan: "No. Be bop paper." Robot paper.

Wystan said he wants to run and run and run, and eat chocolate. It sounds like this: "Run and run and run, and eat mna-mna."

Mna-mna is short for M and Ms, which he translates as all chocolate.

Fourth of July 2013

Asmund, to Dad: "You're a funny one, like him." Points to Gru on Despicable Me DVD cover.

Setting up for the parade, Asmund places flags on the ground "so people know we are having a candlelight dinner." Reference to Hyacinth on Keeping Up Appearances.

Asmund says

Asmund: I want to go up to my bed and rest. My legs are tired.
Me: Why don't you stay down here and lay down?
Asmund: My body says, "No! No! I want to go up to my bed!"

[

Asmund: Bears eat choo-choo trains. No way! Bears eat elephants. No Way! etc.

Star Wars Spy Droids

Asmund: "Bella is my sister. I give her lots of kisses."

Carrie: "Wow! You've built a lot of spy droids [with Legos]. Who are they going to spy on?"
Asmund: "People."

Asmund hugged Carrie's pregnant belly, sat up and said, "I love my baby!" Then he looked concerned and asked Carrie, "Mom, where is my sister, Bella?" She tried not to crack up when she told him she was home with her family.

More fun

Asmund: "I want to put the toys away. I'm tired of dealing with this."

"You throw the ball this way or that way. That is my rules. If you throw it on the couch, you disobey."

Asmund to Wystan Translation

Asmund: "Daddy, I want to play outside with you with chalk!"
Wystan: "Daddy, an ARRR!" (Holds up lego creation Star Wars gun.)

Catching up

Asmund: "The bad guys needed to go bye-bye." After throwing the supervillains across the room.

Hungry robot hippos are attacking.

I talked to Asmund about Women's Studies tonight, but he says he's already heard about it.

Changing around the living room this morning. With every change Asmund says "Yes. That is good, Mom."

After I don't go into the other room like Asmund told me to: "Dad! You are disobeying!"
