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.

So Adam is apparently so disturbed by a video shown at school today that he won't even talk about it. All he will say is "puberty" and "hair".

Adam: You can't say it's a bad habit 'cause everyone has to fart.

Adam: You're cooking breakfast and doing laundry at the same time?! You're on a roll! Me: It's multi-tasking and you could do it too if you were a girl.

Adam: You confuse me in so many ways.

Adam has a cup of ice. He wants it to slowly thaw so he put it in the refrigerator. He said "I put it directly under the light bulb, that should work, right?"

Adam: Mom is depressed, confused and congested. I am the people whisperer.

Adam: Can we get a West Highland White Terrier? I read about them. Me: I don't think so. Adam, to Ainsley: She said maybe!

Adam: Mom? Me: What? Adam: I love tacos... and you. Me: LOL. Adam: What, you're the best mom I got!

Mack: ... this Whirlpool... Adam: What about squirrel poo?

Adam: Mack is watching space stuff. Me: I know, and it's New Year's, I want to watch New Year's stuff. Adam: But the earth is..... ahhhhh.

Adam: Christmas is coming! Me: And the geese are getting fat. Adam: WHAT?

I just had a lengthy conversation with Adam about leaving Santa hot chocolate, and if he has a microwave in his sleigh to warm it up, and if he knows how to make coffee and if he likes to watch football on the weekends.

Me: Where does your cup go? Adam: America? Me: Incorrect answer. Adam: Lewisburg, TN? Me: Incorrect Answer. Adam: Our dishwasher... it is in America and in Lewisburg, TN, so I am right.

I got a breaking news text last night from WSMV about a body being found in West Nashville.
Me: Well, Adam, aren't you glad we know that there was a body found?
Adam: No. I'd rather they keep it a secret...

Adam: You like racing the train, don't you? Me: Yes, I do.

Me: Grab that doorknob and walk backwards into the hall. Goodbye! Adam: HAHAHAHA that was a good one!
