Indigo (squealing): “Baby bunnies are so cute!”
Jade: “Until they pee on you.”
Indigo: “They’re still cute.”
Jade: “But they peed on you!”

Jade: “You might want to go the other way. The cats left us a present.”
Indigo: “They did what?”
Jade: “You don’t want to know. Just go the other way.”

We have an alarm system in the soaproom that beeps every time a door opens. For the Jonases who run the farm store, it’s how they know to check if anyone has come into the farm store. The other day, Brett walked into the soaproom and this happened:
Jade: “Is that a customer?”
Indigo: “No, it’s just Brett.”
Jade: “Oh, she’s not important.”
Brett (gasping): “What? That hurts.”
Jade (quoting from The Aristocats): “You’re not a lady, you’re nothing but a sister!”

Indigo: “Why is Hanaya so small?”
Greyden: “She’s the runt of the runt family from the runt goat. She’s small.”

Indigo: “Whoa. Brett’s wearing a skirt??”
Brett: “Yeah, my jeans had a big goat print in manure on them, and I figured I probably shouldn’t wear those to bible study.”
Emery: “Why not? Goat poop could be the next big thing.”
Brett: “I’m not sure I want to help make goat poop the next big thing.”

Jade: “Colter, can you please, please, please come play with us?”
Colter: “I have some work left to do before bed.”
Jade: “Pretty please?”
Colter (after a minute): “Okay, fine.”
Brett: “You’re such a good brother.”
Colter: “I know. I’d get a lot more sleep if I wasn’t.”

Greyden: “Driving a car would be easy if you were Superman.”
Colter: “If you were Superman, why would you be buying a car?”

Jade: “Emery and Fletcher are going on Outward Bound to get tough.”
Emery: “I’m already tough.”
Jade: “Fine, tougher.”
Emery (as he picks her up and tosses her over his shoulder): “I’m not tough enough for you?”
Jade (laughing): “Emery! Put me down!”

Indigo: “Hey, remember the time that reporter came out and was scared of goats and got stuck in the goat pen with them?”

PJ (during the month we are studying the Revolutionary War): “Let’s go watch another movie.”
Jade: “Do we have to? People always DIE in the movies you want us to watch.”

Indigo: “I think [our barn cat] Jason is like fifteen years old.”
Brett: “No, he’s younger than you.”
Indigo: “No, he isn’t.”
Brett: “Then why do we have pictures of you with him as a kitten?”
Indigo: “Oh….”

Jade: “The baby goats wouldn’t stop chewing on my hair. It’s basically like sticks now.”
Indigo: “Why?”
Jade: “Because they SLOBBERED EVERYWHERE.”

Jim: “Okay, boys, I have a job for you. I need you to move my big ash chunks of wood this weekend.”

Colter: “That kid thinks he’s perfect.”
PJ: “So do you sometimes.”
Colter: “I’m not perfect.”
PJ: “Then what are you?”
Colter: “I’m right.”

Greyden: “Oh, I need to wash my sheets. You know it’s been too long when I actually want to do it.”
