Remember when...

...after a trip to the mall and a quick window shopping session at the Pet Store, Austin said,

 "Mom, we should go to the governor, you know, Jan Brewer, and ask her to lower taxes. AND the price of dogs."

Me: " (giggle) The price of dogs?"

Austin: "Ya, $1600 is way too expensive for that dog we saw."

**********************

...when we were having a discussion about the Government Shutdown and Zoe asked,

 " How much does the President make every year?"

Me: " I think $250,000. And its tax free."

Zoe: (she gets very "evil scientist" on me, fingers start twittling against each other as if she is devising a plan) "Hmmm, I need to find a way to get in that White House."

**********************

...we were driving, and Zoe was reading a Geronimo Stilton book and she exclaimed,

 "Mom! Geronimo Stilton has been in love with Petunia Pretty Paws in every single book that I have read so far, and he wants to ask her to marry him but he never does. He is always too nervous!"

Austin: (who was listening from the front seat) " Well it sounds like Geronimo Stilton needs to man up already."

************************

...Austin was painting a wooden treasure chest at the kitchen table and he asked,

 " Mom, could I ask for my very own Pepper Spray for Christmas?"

************************

...we had a supreme pizza from Papa Murphy's, and Austin despised the mushrooms? He asked me later,

"Can we order it next time without the mushrooms please?"

Me : " You didn't like them that much? But you can't even taste them really."

Austin: "YA-HUH! I have really serious taste buds."
