Dinoisms

(turns the TV on and it's NASCAR)
Dino: Look! The race is on!
Me: Which one is your favorite?
Dino: The race cars!
Me: Yeah... Which race car is your favorite?
Dino: The orange ones!!

Dino: I have a watch - it's Donkey the gray donkey from Shrek!

Dino: I have a pocket watch!
Me: You do?
Dino: Yeah! You gave me it to me!

Dino: Fall is my favorite season. And winter and summer. And spring.

(licking his fingers at Zaxby's chicken restaurant)
Dino: I really like the grease on their fries. That is one thing I really like about this restaurant!

Dino: Wanna know a secret? I'm a vampire. But I don't eat my friends at school because of the teachers. Actually I'm a vampire bat. But I don't do it at school, but not because of the teachers - because I don't have my costume. Actually it's a suit. My costume turns me into a moose. A vampire moose.

Japan's School Lunches
"Healthy" should not be defined by calorie count. Many of these school lunches are neither low-fat nor low-calorie, but they are a great balance of foods - heavy on rice, vegetables, soup, and fish. The meals are prepared fresh daily like they would be at home, with students taking turns helping serve.

Pixyisms VII

(Picking her up from after-school care an hour earlier than usual...)
Me: Did you do anything fun after school?
Pixy: You came early, so I don't know...

Me: What did you have for lunch at school?
Pixy: It was so nasty. It was an egg roll. And there was this *green* sauce...

Pixy: Punch bug! Punch! Punch! Punch the baby! (baby doll...) Don't worry - I didn't punch her hard! Hahaha!

Pixy: I think Doc doesn't have any hair. He should put hair stuff on his hair.

Pixy: What is a baby horse called?
Me: A foal.
Pixy: What is a big horse called?
Me: A horse...
Pixy: I call it a horsey. That starts with an E at the end.

Pixy: We were having a commestration (competition) to see who could yell the loudest!

(shows me a radio-shaped eraser)
Pixy: Did you know this isn't a real iPod? It's a reraser.
