Before we forget . . . Ianisms

Some interesting things Ian has said lately that we haven't forgotten yet.

- Doug often threatens to eat Ian's cheeks. Sometimes Ian allows it, sometimes not, sometimes "only when we're in a restaurant". Tonight when Doug asked if he could eat his cheeks Ian said, "Don't pretend to do that Daddy, eat some regular food!"

- Ian, while holding Madeline's hand on our walk home from the park: "We're going on a little date together. (laughing gleefully). Can you do laughing on a date?" (Note that Ian and Madeline are typically together when one set of parents is out on a date, which I imagine is why it came up -- not because he has plans to marry Madeline, although one of our neighbors is convinced that this is likely).

From my facebook:

On our walk this evening, we were stopped by a woman who wanted to give Ian a dollar (which he happily accepted - a "money dollar!" -- he promptly gave it to his uncle). She was telling me how she used to be a drug dealer and user but wasn't anymore. Also showed us where she got shot in the mouth. Then proceeded to show us the rock of crack she just found and was going down the street to sell. One of the most bizarre conversations I've had lately! #notlikemychildhood

From Doug's facebook:

Ian (trying to get undressed but getting his pants stuck on his shoes, which he neglected to remove): "Damage!"
Me (thinking): He means 'damn it.' Damn it!
