It takes a while for our experience to sift through our consciousness. For instance, it is hard to write about being in love in the midst of a mad love affair. We have no perspective. All we can say is ‘I’m madly in love’ over and over again.

I’m full. I’m soooo full. Oh, do we have brownies? I made more room in my belly.
When I grow up I wanna be a grown-up.
Me: Eat your sandwich.
Noah: I wouldn't!
Me: Why?
Noah: 'Cause I will run away from a good sandwich!
This rollercoaster is faster than your mom!

Noah: Why does chocolate have cat-ffeine in it?
Me: That's just how they make it.
Noah: You must be allergic!
Me: Why?
Noah: Cause it has cats in it!
(while watching a live-action show)
Noah: Are they characters?
Me: Uh huh.
Noah: Then why can't I see their strings?!
Noah: Will you please help me?
Me: (starting to sing the Beatles' "Help")
Noah: I just don't think I'm ready for that.
Me: Now we have to burn a disc.
Noah: Does that hurt?!
Me: Can I give you a kiss?
Noah: I am available for a kiss.
Noah: I'm writing an album of kids songs.
Me: That sounds pretty awesome.
Noah: Yeah, cause I'm pretty sure I have a little boy somewhere.
Noah: I'm gonna fix your allergies.
Me: How?
Noah: Here you go.
Me: What's this?
Noah: It's some hot chocolate.
Me: Mmmm.
Noah: ...from under my bed.
Me: What do you want for lunch?
Noah: Like...umm, sour hot cheese.
Me: I have to go to work.
Noah: Why?
Me: Cause it's my job.
Noah: But I'M your job!
Noah: (looking at his wrist) "30:16:5! Is it that late already? We need to hurry! It's past 30 o'clock!"
