When asked what he wanted for lunch: "I want a pancake, then some health stuff, then a popsicle."

Dreams

Following a discussion about different kinds of dreams (e.g., not all dreams are the kind you have when you're sleeping):

Zach: Well, if I do everything what my dreams are, that will take one hundred and fifty days. My dreams are just to make stuff...

HELP! PLEASE!

Katie's sitting on me and it feels like a dozen elephants!

Big Z, Little Z and the President

Charlie recently put glow-in-the dark stars on the ceiling in Zach's bedroom, replicating the sky as it appeared in Palo Alto, CA the night that Zach was born. This has prompted a lot of conversation about astronomy. Zach is now on the hunt for two new star formations.

Zach: When I talk to Obama, I'm going to tell him.

Betsy: Huh?

Zach: If I call him, I'll tell him. When I get to talk to him.

Betsy: Tell him...?

Zach: About the Big Z and the Little Z. When I find them.

Betsy: You're going to find a big Z and a little Z in the sky?

Zach: Uh-huh.

Betsy: And why are you going to call Obama?

Zach: Because I think he'd really like that.

Teaching Moment

Zach, to his little sister, when they were alone watching Curious George: Smart means...well, it means you're not curious, because you already know stuff. George just knows some stuff.

I'm as tired as a spider working on a web for one hundred days. I'm going to clean up as slow as a snail.
