As I was making dinner...
Ry: "Did you put cheese on that to make it better?"
He knows food all too well--cheese always makes it taste better!!

If Rylan goes outside to play with friends I make sure to always remind him to not go into anyone's house.
Ry: "How come you tell me that every time?"
Me: "I'm just reminding you because it's very important."
Ry: "But I already know that so you don't have to tell me anymore."
But guess what? I'm still gonna remind him every time!

I had just read the monthly primary theme to Rylan about how God speaks to us through prophets.
Me: "Who is our prophet today?"
Ry: "Teekees"
Me: "Nope, try again."
Ry: "Yep, it's Teekees, that's French for President Monson."

At scripture time we were talking about how good people go to live with Heavenly Father in Heaven, but bad people who don't choose the right, won't be able to live with Heavenly Father.
Ry: "If there's a bad guy who steals will he go to heaven?"
Me: "If he repents and says sorry than he can go to heaven."
Ry: "What if he really is a good guy but his name is 'Bad Guy' and everyone just calls him 'Bad Guy'. Can he still go to heaven?"

The last few days Rylan's been calling everyone a "Tutu head". I explained to him what a Tutu is but he must just think it's funny to say it. The other night Ry said "Asher, you're a tutu head." And Asher replied "Yep, Toot Toot" while pumping his arm and pretending he was a train. Cute :)

Tami and the twins stopped by for a quick visit before picking up Mykenna from school. So of course when they were leaving Rylan wanted to go with them. After some thought I told Ry he could go and I'd come pick him up after Asher's nap. He looked at me, put his two hands on my cheeks and while looking straight into my eyes he said "You made a good choice".

Later I went to pick him up from the twins' house and Tami gave me a baggie of some nut cluster thingies. So on the way home I was snacking on them and Ry asked if he could try one. I warned him that I didn't think he'd really like it but sure, he could have one. He took one bite and gave it back to me and asked "Do you think I'll like those when I'm six?"
Me: "You might. We'll have to try again next year and see what you think."
Ry: "Then you can't eat those so we can save them."
I smiled thinking he for sure wouldn't like stale year old nut clusters. So I told him we could buy some next year!

Ry's never been one to want to talk about what he did in primary or preschool, but I ask him anyway. Today I picked him up from preschool, had a brief chat about this and that, and then asked him what they did in class.
Ry: "Nothing."
Me: "Nothing? I hope you did more than that."
Ry: "I just said that because I don't want to tell you about it."
Yeah, he's gonna be a fun teenager to try to talk to!

Ry was talking about owls being nocturnal and then he asked what animals sleep at night and wake up in the morning. I said most animals sleep at night but he insisted I list them. So I began...dogs, cats, birds, giraffes, hippos, horses, zebras.
Ry: "What else?"
Me: "Cows, rhinos, monkeys, sheep."
Ry: "What else?"
Me: "Well, there's lots Rylan. Why don't you think of one and ask me?"
Ry: "Man?"
I just started laughing so hard. I told Kevin later and he didn't think it was as funny as I did. But it still makes me laugh :)
