Hewitt: “Why do you like Belle?”
Brett: “Because I do.”
Hewitt: “I’m assuming it’s because of the books.”

Indigo: “Mom, do you know what I would like for my birthday?”
PJ: “No, what?”
Indigo: “The next level in my math book.”
PJ: “I think I can make that happen.”

Jade: “Why were the stockings hung by the chimney with cake?”
Brett: “What?”
Jade: “You know in that Christmas rhyme, the stockings were hung by the chimney with cake?”
Colter: “With care, Jade. It’s with care.”

Brett: “I’m a big girl, and yes, I’m totally drinking chocolate milk with dinner.”

Emery: “I’ll be seventeen in two months.”
Hewitt: “That’s not too old.”
Brett: “I’ll be twenty-one in ten months.”
Hewitt: “You’re SO OLD.”
Brett: “Oh gee thanks.”

Indigo: “I have a whole shelf in my room with my books and the books I really love.”
Brett: “So you mean all of my books.”
Indigo: “Yeah, basically.”

Fletcher: “Has anyone seen Emery?”
Brett: “He’s asleep on the couch with his boots still on. I think he was probably out in the barn pretty late.”
Fletcher: “He has his boots ON the couch?”
Brett (laughing): “No, he knows better than that. His feet are hanging off.”

Greyden: “Jason [the barn cat] won’t stop following me around. I think he expects me to give him some milk or something.”
Jade (with a sigh): “He’s too spoiled. Most barn cats don’t get anything like that.”
Hewitt: “How do you know that?”
Jade: “Because I’ve read about it.”

Emery: “It was so warm that my stupid bulbs thought it was spring and they started coming up and now they’re dead.”
Fletcher: “If they’re smart enough to know that it’s warm enough for them, how are they stupid?”

Jade: “I prayed for lots of snow to happen.”
Brett: “I prayed for no snow to happen.”
Indigo: “Well, I prayed for snow too, so we win.”
Brett: “I don’t think it works that way.”

Indigo: “How can Emery have his driver’s license already?”
Emery: “How can you be almost eleven?”
Indigo: “Uh, because I am?”
Emery: “Well, I can have my license because I’m almost seventeen.”
Indigo: “That’s just weird.”

PJ: “Who wants more pancakes?”
Everyone raises their hand.
Jade: “Really, Emery? You’ve already had seven.”
Emery: “Actually, I’ve had eight.”

Hewitt: “So… how exactly am I supposed to clean my coveralls? Because they’re kinda covered in everything.”

Colter: “Hey, who shoved their boots into my locker?”
Emery: “Uh… it was probably me. I was out with the goats until 2 AM and got a little confused.”

Emery: “I bet I can hit Brett with this paper airplane.”
Colter: “10 points to anyone who hits Brett with their paper airplane!”
Brett: “WAIT, WHAT, NO, STOP.”
