Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Less than enthusiastic about writing thank-you notes for his birthday presents, Zach started shredding the paper napkins that were on the kitchen table.

Betsy: Zach! Stop wasting napkins!

Zach: I'm not wasting them - I'm making more!

Sensible nickname

Instead of a toddler, let's call Katie a tw0-dler. Because she's 2, not todd.

Waiting

Betsy: Zach, you have to get dressed. Grandma and Grandpa are going to be here any minute.

Zach: Awww, that never goes well.

Betsy: What?

Zach: Whenever you say they're going to be here any minute. Actually, that means it's going to be a really long time.

Why Grandpa can't win at soccer...

Rules for playing soccer with a yoga ball:
  1. Zach is always the goalie.
  2. If the ball goes over Zach's head - no goal.
  3. If the ball hits Zach's head - no goal.
  4. Grandpa is allowed only four goals, at Zach's discretion.
  5. Goals can be disallowed, at Zach's discretion. This may occur numerous times in the course of a game.
  6. The game ends when Zach gets tired.
  7. Additional rules may be established during play, at Zach's discretion.
Zach, at the game's end: You're old, so you're not a powerful winner.

Crabby Teeth

Sometimes Zach confuses p's and b's.

During a talk about dental hygiene...

Zach....or if you eat too much crab, it's bad for your teeth...

Betsy: Crab?

Zach: Yeah, like if you eat too much crab, and candy, and soda....

I hate too much candy.

But I LOVE too much toys!
