Adam: Grandma is worried about them being efficient on the road construction so she goes around the other way. If they were worried about being efficient, they'd put up a "road closed" sign.

Me: I smell like dog. Adam: That's my feet.

I know it's good that Adam wants to and can tell me about whatever is on his mind, but omg, my ears are numb.

Adam: I know all animals are unique, but what's with platypuses? Or is it platypi? It's like a duck and a beaver had a baby. And a brick. It's rectangular shaped.

Happy Birthday to the best little brother in the world! He amazes me everyday with the crazy words that come out of his mouth. He's so much smarter than I could have ever imagined. He cares about others, and never wants to see me hurt. He has proven so many times that he is capable of much more than others give him credit for. My little brother is turning 11 today, which means as of 2:34 PM today, he will have been in my life longer than I had been without him. Right about now, 11 years ago, I was in my bunk bed at Camp NaCoMe wondering if Anita Evans Hulshof was going to pick me up, or if I was going to meet her at the hospital. Well, I headed to hospital, and next thing I knew, I was a big sister. He's so quirky, fun, audacious, sweet, empathic, intelligent, annoying, silly, and determined. I couldn't have asked for a better little brother to bother me every single day with his Skylanders jargon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!!!!!!!!

Adam (talking about Father's Day) It would be good if one person was here with us.... George Jones.

Adam: You know that Friday the 13th stuff? Me: Yes? Adam: Well, I don't believe in it. You create your own luck in this crazy messed up world.

Adam: It feels like it was just tomorrow that I was 11.

Adam: If I don't scoop it, I don't poop it.
