Quotes of the Day V

Just some fun "mykid" quotes of late. These are mostly only endearing to Bramma and Pa, but heck, I thought I'd share:

The other day, we came home for a moment to drop off groceries before a playdate, and I noticed that the gate from our front yard to the back was open.

Me: "Huh, that's weird; the gate is open."
Audrey: "Are you going to close it? Maybe there's a doggie back there." (has happened before)
Me: "I think Daddy just left if open yesterday. I'll be right back."
Audrey: "Mama, if there's a stranger back there, are you going to fight him?"

Parker and I were leaving the bathroom at the pool the other day. The toilets flush REALLY loudly, so he went outside before I flushed it. When I got out there, he said, "why did Heavenly Father make those toilets flush too loud?"

Driving to the airport to pick up Julianne, Parker gets a contemplative look and then, using hand motions, says,
"Mommy, what's farther up than outer space?"
Me (after telling Parker that space never ends and watching his wheels turning to process that one), to Neal: "Who do you know that is 3 and wonders about the nature of the universe? I love Parker."

PS: no baby. My contractions have slowed down, but the occasional one (about 2 an hour) really hurts. What to do! This is getting very, very nerve-wracking.
