A few recent anecdotes and pictures:

Me: Alex, you're a character.

Alex: (indignantly) No, I'm not; I'm real!

Alex, while putting his shoes on before preschool: "I'm going to be thinking about you, Mommy."
Me: "Really? That's sweet. What will you be thinking about me?"
Alex: "Um ... I don't know. That you're pretty, and that you're beautiful."
He is totally getting a raise.

Me: (faking surprise as he jumped out at me) "Alex! Where did you come from?!"
Alex: "From your tummy ... Well, and from God ... (thinking hard) But how did God get me in your tummy?"
Me: "Um ... It was a miracle."
Alex: "OK. Mommy? That's the last thing you should say."
I have no idea why he said that, but that was perfect, since that was exactly where I wanted to end that conversation for now!

Will: "Why does my hair get browner every time I get a haircut?"

Alex: (out of the blue) "Mommy, I used to be Southern, but I'm not anymore."

Not sure where that came from; maybe he got tired of being the only one in the family with a Southern accent?

Alex: "I'm taller than you!"
Will: (forcefully) "And I'm heavier!"
Alex: "Yep!"
Will: "Let's NOT talk about this!"
Alex: "OK, Will! If you say so!"

Alex: “Mommy, when Q and U get married, who do you think is going to be the woman and who’s going to be the man?"
