This one came last night as the family was taking a walk around the neighborhood. EC informed his mom and me that he had to pop some popcorn when he got home. He then added that he’d be leaving some milk out overnight and followed it up with the quote.

Quote from EC: “Next time, tell that to my red beady eye.”
This was my eight year old son’s response to his Mom when she told him that he was going to be OK after being poked in the eye playing basketball a short time before.
Quote from EC: “Crack her open and you’ll see what she’s made of – Cracker Jacks.”
My eight year old son directed this one at his (almost four year old) sister. Like many of EC’s quotes, this one came spontaneously and unprovoked.
Quote from EC: “I like your work. Next time try to make sense.”
My second grade son wrote this comment at school on a sticky note and put it on a poster that warned if you use email you may blow up your computer. The posters on the wall were made by some of EC’s classmates and everyone had to go around giving feedback via sticky notes.
Quote from EC: “We’re going to have to do this the old fashioned way.”
This was my eight year old son’s comment to himself while playing the LEGO Batman video game. I looked up and asked him what he meant by that. EC sighed audibly and then proceeded to guide Batman towards a bulldozer in order to plow everything and everyone in its path.
Quote from EC: “I thought to myself, ‘How is a kid with sticks like that going to get across the ice?'”

Quote from EC: “Here ratty, ratty. EC is here and he’s nice & tender.”
My son said this after he saw a rat jump (about a foot high) out of garbage can as we walked on the sidewalk next to the beach in Fort Lauderdale this evening. EC wanted the rat to come out again so he could capture a Kodak moment.
Quote from EC: “I call it ‘Maid Men’. Would you like a crumpet?”
My soon to be eight year old son made this comment after I finished watching one of the Mad Men DVDs I rented over the weekend. Apparently maids offer you crumpets?
Quote from EC: “My friend’s fake brother said I have the most annoying laugh.”
My seven year old son told me this as I walked he and his sister to the car this afternoon after seeing Madagascar 2. Fake brother? Apparently EC’s friend’s family is hosting another family temporarily. Thus the other family’s son is a fake brother in my son’s mind.
