Me: Grayson, it's time for bed.
Grayson: Aww, I don't want to.
Me: It's late, buddy. I let you stay up until 11:45 because it's the weekend but now you gotta go to bed.
Grayson: 11:45? Hmm, I've heard of that time. But only in the morning.
On Pain Management
Grayson: I hate shots.
Me: Do you remember the last shot you got?
Grayson: Yeah, what was it, the normal one?
Me: Yeah the flu shot.
Grayson: Yeah.
Me: Do you remember how fast it was?
Grayson: Yeah it was an unexpected non-hurting.
Important Questions
Me: Grayson, why were you humming outside the bedroom door? Mommy is trying to sleep.
Grayson: I needed to get your attention. I have to ask you something.
Me: Oh, ok. What do you need?
Grayson: Umm... volcanoes. Do you know how volcanoes are formed?
On the Responsible Stewardship of Income
Grayson: I don't want to give any toys away, so I think I have enough toys. I don't want to buy more because if I do I'd have to give some away.
Me: Oh yeah? What are you going to do with your chore money?
Grayson: I think just not buy things right now.
Me: You mean save it for something you really really want later?
Grayson: Yeah.
Me: Well buddy, that's a really good--
Grayson: Or we could get rid of some books so I can buy more toys.
I love you, you love me. We're all a family. We always love, we never hate. Unless we dislike someone. Then we get kicked out, of the family.

On the Consumption of Animal Life
Me: Grayson, eat your meat.

Me: No, buddy. Meat that we eat is animals.
Grayson: Meat is... animals?
Me: Yeah.
Grayson: That is... AWESOME!
On Being Well Rested
Me: Are you a little sleepy there bud?
Grayson: No, I just have bed bugs in my eyes.
Me: What? In your eyes?
Grayson: Yeah, bed bugs are these bugs that get in your eyes and make you sleepy.
I would argue with you if I were you.

The only thing that goes to the highest number is love. Like when one person loves another.

On the Chain of Command
Grayson: Isn't that cool Woofie?
Me: You talk to Woofie now?
Wife: Is he your friend?
Grayson: Yeah. And I'm the boss of him. Because he's way smaller than me.
Wife: Does that mean I'm the boss of you?
Grayson: Yeah. Because you're bigger than me.
On Love and Friendship
Me: Who is your best friend at school?
Grayson: Actually we are all best friends at school. Because we're nice.
Me: Oh that's nice. Well who do you like to play with a lot?
Grayson: Grace, usually. Because I'm going to marry her.
Me: Why are you going to marry her?
Grayson: Because she's so pretty.
"In the middle of space there's a flower and there is a black hole in the middle of the flower and no one can get near it because it's a black hole and they'll get sucked up and there aren't any people around because it's in the middle of space and also it's a really big trap and that's what I drew.
On Prophecy
Grayson: Dad! I had a dream and the dream came true!
Me: What was your dream?
Grayson: I peed.
On Tautology
Me: You shouldn't be angry. You should be saying you're sorry.
Grayson: I'm sorry.
Me: Are you actually sorry? Or are you just saying you're sorry?
Grayson: I'm actually saying I'm sorry.
On Culture and Art
Grayson: See me dancing?
Me: Yeah, you're doing a good job.
Grayson: This one is called the butt smack. You jump in the air and smack your butt.
Me: I wouldn't do that one in public, bud.
Grayson: Well I would because it's a dance and I like it.
On Priorities
Grayson: Why do my cousins have to leave?
Me: Because they have to go home where they live.
Grayson: But I don't want to play alone.
Me: Mommy and Daddy will still play with you.
Grayson: But you don't that much. You go to work.
Me: I'm sorry but I have to go to work.
Grayson: Why?
Me: So I can make money to buy food, clothes, and toys for you.
Grayson: Well, I think I have enough toys now. So you can stay home.
On the Relativity of Truth
Wife: My head hurts.
Me: Oh your headache came back? That sucks.
Grayson: Yeah that sucks.
Me: No you can't say that. It's for grownups.
Grayson: Why can only grownups say it?
Me: Because we know who it's ok to say it around so it's not rude.
Grayson: I know who to say it around.
Wife: No, I don't think you do.
Grayson: Well I think so.
Me: But you're wrong.
Grayson: I know. I don't care.
