Yesterday Oliver came to me very concerned, and said "Mom, I'm worried that the cop that shot that African American man is gonna get Obama."

After mark explained a heart attack to Oliver he said "I've heard of a heart attack many times but I didn't know it was that intensive."

"I know you think I'm looking at you but I'm just scratchin' my nuts."

So, this just happened

Actual conversation that took place while Weston was going potty: "Mom! Ew! What is that on the floor? Is it poop?! Mom, check if it's poop. Can you taste it? Mom! Mom! Give it a taste mom! It looks like poop. Here, wipe me and I'll taste it." 

I did not let him taste it, nor did I myself taste it. It was actually not poop. It was a dried leaf.

"I can't wait until I can do projects with working wood and nails like you mom"
