More from the quotable kid :: by mama

Some of these are a few months old, but they are all gems. Kaya is continually amusing and amazing us with his quick wit and straightforward honesty. I love the way he sees the world, and I am grateful that he shares his perspective with us in such an uncensored way. So, without further ado, here they are: quotes from the quotable kid.

[As Kaya climbs into bed one morning]

Mama: What is it, Kaya? I was fast asleep. I was dreaming.

Kaya: You were dreaming? But where was your dream bubble??

**********************************

[As Kaya is playing and making a general racket]

Mama: Kaya, why are you screaming?

Kaya: I'm not screaming, I'm yelling.

**********************************

[Upon Kaya's return to school following Christmas break and the birth of his new baby brother]

Kaya's music teacher, Miss S.: So Kaya, what was the most exciting thing about Bangkok?

Kaya: Eating chocolate muffins at Starbucks!

[He was also asked by his regular classroom teacher to draw what he did over Christmas break, and he drew a picture of himself on the treadmill in the gym, with some weights nearby. Apparently little Kiran did not make much of an impression!]

**********************************

[In a discussion about Disney movies]

Mama: You know, those movies were around when I was little. I remember watching Snow White, Jungle Book, and some of the other movies you've seen.

Kaya: What about The Incredibles?

Mama: No, that one came out later, after I was already grown up.

Kaya: Oh yeah, that's why it's in color!

**********************************

[Following a few rounds of a card game between Kaya and Daddy]

Mama: Wow, Daddy won a bunch of those games, for once!

Daddy: Yeah, I got really lucky. But we know what the most important thing is, don't we?

Kaya: Yep! It's that I won the last game!!

**********************************

Kaya, to Mama: You should get a job.

Mama: I have a job, Kaya. Remember? You've picked me up at my office before.

Kaya: No, you should get a job at my school. You'll like it. It's really fun!

Mama: No, thank you. I'd rather not.

Kaya: Mama, just try it. If you don't like it, you can always quit, but you should just try it.

[Wonder where he's heard that line before...??]

**********************************

[During the homebrew party over spring break]

Kaya, coming out of his room with wooden blocks pressed up to his ears: Daddy, it's too loud! Tell the people to be quiet and JUST DRINK BEER!

Such an awesome kid. We love you, Kaya!!
