We've been saving up Henry and Ellis quotes for a few months. We thought we'd better share a few treasures. Enjoy!
Henry
(
to Jenn) "From now on, if you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone--Okay?"
"Me and Ellis both have the same plan . . . to DESTROY our parents!"
"Sometimes I go in the bathroom, take some extra toilet paper and chew it up."
(
after watching a homemade Star Wars YouTube video) "I never knew light sabers were real until I saw that show."
B: Did Mom already get clothes out for you?
H: No. Well, actually I'm not sure. It's still just a theory.
(
opening some chap stick he found in his stocking) "Lip Smackers! Ha ha! Santa got me pretend lip stick!"
Ellis
(
while sorting laundry)
J: We're gonna put this one in the pile to be sprayed.
E: Oh yeah, from Dad being such a dirty guy.
"I'm gonna give Sam a blessing: 'Behold, be careful Samuel, and don't break the walls!'"
(
looking at a picture of Adam Smith addressing some economists--don't ask) "When is Adam Smith going to say 'In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen' and sit down so somebody else can talk in the microphone?"
(
authoritatively) "It is proposed that we sustain Elder Einstein, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, and Nikola Tesla. Please manifest it."
J: Ellis, who is the President right now?
E: Barack Obama! Who is going to be the President-right-now next?
J: I don't know; what do you think?
E: Maybe Tanner. But not the Utah Tanner. Eldon S. Tanner
(We later found out he was getting N. Eldon Tanner confused with Marion G. Romney, whom he had mixed up with Mitt Romney).
(a few minutes later) E: A golden pancake is going to be the prophet after Joseph Smith.
"I can't sit in my car seat, because I can't sit very well . . . like Elder Packer"
(he couldn't sit very well because he had a dirty diaper).
(
Jenn passes gas)
E: Say excuse me!
J: Excuse me.
E:
(wistfully) I hope I do that soon.
(
after Ben's shower) "It's foggy in here. We need Rudolph!"
Remember when Ellis would
make us all have alternative identities? Thankfully, that has subsided, but he does occasionally have some relapses. Here are two especially unique ones:
- Joseph Smith (E), Emma Smith (J), Heavenly Father (B), Jesus (H), My new baby from Africa (S)
- Clark (E), Lewis (B), Sacajawea (J)
And finally, Ellis still has a few words that he has no idea he pronounces wrong:
- Stop and Shot (Stop & Shop)
- Two-fick (Toothpick)
- Two-faced (Toohpaste)
- Episote (Episode -- Henry says this one wrong too!)
- E-merican Flag (American Flag -- where did the E come from? We have no idea. He says America just fine)
- Of-ouncements (Announcements)
We can't wait for Sam to join in the fun!
