Well, in that case, I'd like you to mess up your room every morning before breakfast

Dad opens door to Gabe's room

Gabe: Dad! Don't mess up my room!

Dad: I'm not even sure how that would be possible.

Gabe: I mean, like, don't put anything away.

And it's way cheaper than a shrink to boot

Gabe: When I'm feeling discouraged, I just go up to my room, take out all my tinkertoys, and work it out in my mind. Then I'm OK.

None for me, thank you.

Gabe: Let's try this recipe.

Mom: Stuffed squash with bulgar and feta?

Eva: Boogers and feta! Boogers and feta! Boogers and feta!

No uncles were harmed in the making of this post

Eva: Uncle Mikey? Do you want to play that game where I put poison in your eyes and you run around like crazy?

Uncle Mike: Umm. . . no, thanks.

If eating ice cream is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Dad: Gabe, why are you eating your ice cream under the table?

Gabe: Because ice cream is so good you can eat it anywhere. And I mean ANYWHERE. Even in a dungeon.

It's true, I swear it

Gabe: Fireball!

Eva: Iceball!

Levi: Meatball!
