I really do transcribe them as faithfully as I can

Evan: "When the sun supernovas, where will your ghost go?"

William: "What does 'the sun supernovas' mean?"

Evan: "Oh, the sun's gonna blow up."

Eric: "Well, in millions and millions of years."

Evan: "Yeah, but our ghosts will still be around. Where will they go?"

William: "Mine will stay on the Earth. Because even if the sun's gone, you can live without light."

Evan: "Yeah, but you need the sun for Vitamin D."

William: "You can drink milk."

strategy

Evan: "Can I just have jelly on my rice cake?"

Eric: "Sure."

Evan: "Because I don't like milk, and milk's the antidote to peanut butter."

jam on it

Evan: "Who wants a piece of jam toast?"

Eric: "I think Mommy and I are both saving room for dinner."

Evan: "But how can you resist my jam toast? I put extra-special love in it."

FYI, XOXO

This morning at about 5 a.m., Evan came into our room and said, "I'm having trouble sleeping. And, FYI, I love you guys a lot."

pushover

Sage (crying): "Evan pushed me over!"

Eric: "Evan pushed you over? That's not nice at all! Evan, you tell Sage you're sorry!"

Evan: "Well she asked for it!"

Eric: "Nobody asks to be pushed over, Evan. Tell her you're sorry!"

Sonja: "No, Evan's right. She literally asked him to do it. I think she wanted to come crying to you."
