More Eli Quotes

Now that I've started I can't stop . . . we'll see how long this lasts! :)

• Matea was uncharacteristically sleeping too long (a miracle) the other evening, so Grandma went in and took Matea's pacifier out of her mouth to speed the waking process. Grandma came back in to the kitchen and told us that she took Matea's pipe out of her mouth. To which Eli replies, "That's not a pipe, that's a pacifier! Pipes are underground, silly!"
• On the way home from the library yesterday a gentlemen in a fancy sports car zoomed around us (and then cut us off, but I'm trying to let it go). Eli said, "Whoah, that guy's going fast!" I told Eli that the man was driving fast but not safe and then (I have no idea why I added this) I told Eli that sometimes people get fancy cars and think they are cool driving around in them, and then sometimes drive too fast and not safe. The guy thought he was cool but he wasn't driving safe. And I said that Mommy drives fast on the highway but we drive safe. Eli's response to all of that - "Yeah, we're not driving cool. You can't drive cool in a minivan!" Hmm, can't argue with that, but at least we're driving safe!
