Three Peas: First Grade Boys in One Snapshot

This picture for me captures end-of-first grade, soon-to-be second grade boys so perfectly. I love everything about this picture.

AJ's Saying

Mom, I invented the best football play ever!
Seriously, mom. Don't embarrass me.
I am going to be an astronaut when I'm 81, because then I will be grown up enough that I won't be afraid of blast off anymore.
What is the meaning of life? When I was in Chicago, Uncle John told me every person has to figure out the meaning of life.
Is Santa God's other son?
I just blew all of the feathers off the dandelion!
Did you know that Pluto used to be a planet but scientists decided it really isn't?
Davey, before you know it, you will be as big as a daddy!

Davey's Saying

I think God must have one million ears to listen to everyone!
AJ, did you know that I am very ticklish all over my body?! Tickle me on one of my giggle spots!
That. Is. Ridiculous!
I am a little bit excited and a little bit scared about going to kindergarten. Will you stay with me just for the first few minutes, mom?
Riii, AJ? (His own contraction of "Right, AJ?" that has become a verbal tic, like "Ya know?"
No, no, no, no, no. That's not how you do it. Listen to me.
Aww, why can't I go to school with AJ? That's no fair!

Julia's Saying

Cotton candy is the softest thing in the world! Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a swimming pool full of cotton candy and you could just dive into it & swim?!?
Um, mom, I don't mean to be rude, but it is kind of awkward that Scooby Doo can talk.
Mama, does God hear everything we are saying?
When I grow up, I want to be a mom and a butterfly catcher.
Mama, me and you are the girls. We do things together.
AJ, don't eat the cake, SHARE the cake!
Well, I guess I'll see you later. I'm heading to Mars. (said while climbing into a cardboard box)
