Calm Down

Zach's completely manic and not especially listening to directions on the way to a birthday party. Charlie tells Zach to take a breath and calm down. Zach, sulking, says:

Its like the perfect time to not calm down. I'm going to a party and you're supposed to be crazy at a party.

Hrrrrumph.

The Mercier Way

Spoken without knowledge of the fact that Charlie's dad was undergoing surgery today:

Zach: The Mercier's are usually lucky.

Crazy

Having very little feedback so far about kindergarten, I asked Zach about his adjustment:

Betsy: So, does Mrs. Smith....like you? Or are you...you know, driving her crazy?

Zach: She likes me.

Betsy: Well....how do you know?

Zach: Because she doesn't say, "ZACH, YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!"
