A billion year

E: Mommy, has it been a billion years since the Voyager I launched?

M: when was it launched?

E: in 1977

M (laughing): I was born in 1979, am I billion years old?

E: Oh. No

M: it was 43 years ago 

🤣🤣🤣

Console Table

As E and I were finishing putting together a console table and stand it up by the window, E quickly ran away to try to get the video games consoles to put on the table.  Explained that the "console" table was meant for displaying a portable garden on top, board games and books etc. below. 😂

Santa

E: Daddy, why are you like Santa?
D: What do you mean?
E: Well, you give me a new tablet and Mommy a baby Kindle but nothing for yourself.  Why are you like him?
D: I am not trying to be like him, I am just being your Daddy and giving you guys gifts is one of the ways to show that I love you.
E: Aww, thank you for the gifts Dada!

Youtuber

Minecraft

E had been watching Minecraft videos on YouTube since summer.  We've bought him Lego Minecraft sets that he would successful build by himself, and there was a set that frustrated him to the point he would cry because he couldn't finish putting together the build.  He started playing the video game, Bedrock Edition, on his tablet and build new worlds some time in August after many hours spent watching the YouTubers and attended a few online classes.  He likes playing in Creative mode instead of Survival mode "because you can fly, have infinite resources to build, don't die or get attacked by mobs."  E played multiplayer games with D before venturing out play with one of his classmates on a "weekend date." 

Technology

(Trying to call Mommy)

I don't remember Mommy's phone number.  I rely on technology, you Daddy rely on your memory.

My shot

I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot!

Boogers

There are three kinds of boogers: nose boogers, ear boogers and eye boogers.

Can I eat something?

I'm hungry, can I eat something?

PJs

If taken out of context this conversation would have been weird, but during this coronavirus quarantine period where families are staying at home and kids are doing online playdates it's quite normal:
C: Are you wearing PJs under there?
E: How did you know?
C: I can see it under your jacket.
E: Do you want to see? [Taking off jacket]
C: Are those Power Rangers?
E: No, they're ninjas.  I love ninjas!

Chillaxin'

E setup a little blanket on the floor and says he's just chillaxin' - just like the My Little Pony.

Stuck in the house...

During this COVID-19 shelter in place, E commented that he "hates being stuck in the house for ten years!"

Power outage

E draws a broken heart picture and so we asked him what's it about.  E answered it's because he can't watch TV since the power is out: "TV is my life you know."

Officer

E went up to a Hayward police officer at Dunkin' and saluted him.
O: What's your name?
E: I'm Evan.
O: Do you want to be a police officer when you grow up?
E: I want to be an artist!
O: Oh that's cool.

Vietnamese

Vietnamese people talk so loud all the time and so you can't tell they are talking normal or angry all the time.
