"GUYS! A HORSE! There's a HORSE in our backyard!" (It was a deer)

"A poh-moh is a little song about leaves"

 "A ba-no-no is like a mop"

Luke: Do you like pop, Dad?
Matt: Yeah, I'm more of a beer guy but I like it. Mom's more of a pop girl.
Luke: (pause)...I'm a milk guy.

(Shining a flashlight at Matt)
"Hmm, looks like some sorta Dad, here."

(Matt, Henry & I all went to give Luke hugs goodnight.)
"Okay, the little one first. Then Mommy's bigger, and Daddy's the biggest."

(Luke & Matt were playing catch, and he paused to say...)
"Hey Dad - I like flashlights, I like playing football, and I like drinking milky."

(We all went to the basement to organize some storage bins and the task of the day was Christmas decorations. Luke kept asking if it was Christmas time yet and erupting in random bursts of excitement over the things he pulled out of the bins. He sat with a snow globe for a long time - shaking it and asking questions about snow, when...)
Luke: Uh...I'll be right back, guys. I have to go upstairs for a minute.
Me: Why? What do you need from upstairs? You can't go alone, bud.
Luke: I just need to find a window. I need to check if it's snowing.

Matt: Did it just get dark in here? Is it gonna rain?
Luke: The little cloud...not the big cloud, I mean the LITTLE cloud gets sad and that means its gonna rain. The rain drips down, and then it dries up til it's rain time again.

(While watching golf with Matt)
"He's wearing a black shirt. And he didn't mean to get a double bogey."

"I'm too strong to jump."

Luke: Work is calling me, he said no again.
Me: Work is a person?
Luke: (laughs) No, work is just...work.
Me: Oohh.
Luke: Work is calling me, Mom, I gotta go. I'm gonna work hard.

(Trying to distract him so Matt can do dishes, I asked him to talk to me about something.)
His response: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth"
