2021week six

Quotes

Theodore

"I don't think I want mints anymore. It's just like 100 percent peppermint flavor in my mouth. It's too much."

Theo agonizing over the imagined trip to Oklahoma that Veronica wants to take by herself, "But they will pick all of the grasshoppers without me! And put them on the mama and papa's backs and I wont be able to see it!" Sorry Erica and Melvin, I guess his dream is to put grasshoppers on your back when you're not looking.

Veronica

"Theo, stop talking, your hot chocolate is growing cold."

"Tatum said to me that the only reason I know the poems first is because my mom is a teacher and she tells me the answers! I told him NO WAY I am just good at memorizing!" I'm glad she's standing up for her littler Hermione self.

We are suddenly encountering our children shaming people for their behaviors. We're working on teaching them that no one is perfect and even though we all know the absolute best things to do, it's not realistic that we all do them all the time. If you hear them judging you, please reinforce this.

Theo to our amazing neighbor who he spied vaping, "There was smoke in your mouth! Don't you know smoking will turn your lungs black!?"

Vera about a classmate, "You should have seen what he had for lunch! A lunchable! And a bag of chips! And all other sorts of snack foods! So unhealthy!"
