many people seem to enjoy my Sasha stories, so I decided to formalize them in a "Sasha Quote of the Day." Every day I will strive to add yet another morsel of wisdom, wit, or hilarity from my 5 year old.
Today's Quote:
"That was good fish you made Papa." Papa: "Thank you. It was chicken."

You know, the funny part was when I was visiting Telp a couple (few?) months ago. I brought up the topic on how we hadn't heard from you on Sasha in quite a while. Dude, all I can say is that we both believe you have the coolest kid ever.

Yeah, yeah, the kid is cute and all, but I worry about the pressure that his father is putting on him to produce a new cute quote every day. It'd be just awful Sasha cracked under the pressure, rebelled against parental expectations, and became decidedly un-cute.
So please, Dan, be careful and sensitive to your little cutie! I'd hate to see him crumble under the pressure.

Words can't express how glad I am the internet wasn't around (in an easy, user-friendly form) when I was little. But then, I wasn't nearly so cute as Sasha.

When your children learn the magic and powers of numbers nothing is more exciting.
"11,12,13,14...."
When they get past those nasty teen numbers (Why don't we make life easier and change their names to one-teen, twoteen, threeteen, or teenyone, teenytwo etc.) and discover the pattern that is our numerical system, you rejoice.
"78,79,80,81..." "101,102,103,104...."
Somewhere about the third time they decide to count past 326 you are ready to pull your hair out and scream.

I don't know. I have a fair amount of patience. After it got annoying, I would probably just start counting with them. Only in another language or something.

To his parents: "I want to be a firefighter when I grow up. What do you want to be when you grow up?"

I remember one time my dad and I went to visit an old high school friend of his... and her four year old son ran up to us and asked "do you two have any kids?"
We had no idea how to respond... it was adorable.

Sasha, telling a long involved story he's making up on the way home..."and then in came the Wookie-Dragon. It was the biggest dragon of them all. I mean it could destroy how cities, lots of them...."
Ok, this isn't that cute or deep, but you have to admit...
Wookie-Dragons.
I mean, that is about the most awesome thing one can imagine.
Every nerd cell in my body smiled when he said that.

"Papa, I fooled all the kids at school today. I told them I got this shirt...from Target."
I stared. It was an average Batman shirt. "You told them you got it at Target--and that is a good thing?" He was bragging about the name brand shirt--and the name brand was Target?
Sasha, laughing, "yes."
"Look over to there." He turned his head. "Now look down." He did. "No, Mom, his neck doesn't look red."
She swacked me upside the head when Sasha wasn't looking.

He was Samuel Jackson the way he should have played a Jedi. If he would have ended the phrase with "Sucka" I would have fallen down laughing.

In a nice Italian Restaurant, my voice echoes in its best demanding voice..."Sasha, if you count to infinity I'm taking you right out to the car without your dinner!"

Said in a perfectly calm and ordinary voice. "Momma, when you are off next week and we are together, don't yell at me. I'm allergic to being yelled at."
