Me: “Why?”
Caolinn: “He kind of demands all of her attention when they’re together, and it’s getting on her nerves. He’s just really clingy.”
Xavier: “Clingy? You mean like Yoda on Luke’s back when they were training.”
Caolinn: (look of utter disbelief) “Well, I guess we know why YOU’RE never going to have a girlfriend.”
Maybe I shouldn’t have chosen THIS meme to discuss my son and daughter bantering with each other. I am a TERRIBLE mother.
Liam: “I just asked the Magic 8-Ball if I was going to be a superhero when I grow up, and it said ‘Most Likely’.”
Caolinn: “Yeah, well, if you get bitten by a radioactive spider, we’re selling that thing for a lot of money.”

Liam: “I read that some scientists in Russia accidentally made a real lightsaber.”
