When I grow up...II

Me: Raviv, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Raviv: A car.  No, a baseball player!  No, a Rabbi!
Me: You can be a baseball player and a Rabbi.  What would you do when you're working?
Raviv:  Play baseball and open the Torah.

Occupy dinner?

While eating dinner...

Raviv: lets have a conversation, mommy

Me: Ok, what do you want to talk about?

Raviv: Wooshee gaga.

Me: Raviv, How do you feel about the Occupy Wall Street movement?

Raviv: Good!

Me: How do you feel about the Tea Party?

Raviv: Good!

Me: Why?

Raviv: they're talking

me: Good point, they really have changed the national discourse. You know, a lot of people in this country are fighting over money right now, and who has how much. What do you think about that?

Raviv: Rip it up!

Me: Rip up the money?

Raviv: Yes, turn it into quarters!

Me: Then what?

Raviv: Share it! Then eat it all up!

Apples to Apples

In the morning rush to get out the door...

Raviv: I'm going to play my games (goes and pulls out two board games that a) are not his and b) have tons of pieces/cards. The night before he sat for 20 minutes placing playing chips on top of the cars nice and quietly)
Bil: Don't let him play with those!
Me: What's the big deal?
Raviv dumps the entire box of apples to apples, complete with 500 playing cards, onto the floor.
Me: Oh.

Halloween

Me: Raviv, what do you want to be for halloween?

Raviv: A baseball!

Me: oh, a baseball player, okay

Raviv: no, a, baseball!

Me: a baseball man?

Raviv: No, a baseball. Not a baseball player.

When I grow up...

Me: Raviv, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Raviv: A car.

Bil: Raviv, who do you love?
Raviv: Mommy
Bil: Raviv, do you love Aba?

Me: Raviv, you're allowed to love more than one person.
Bil: Raviv, do you love Aba?
Raviv: I love Mommy
Bil: And...
Raviv: Danya
Bil: And...
Raviv: Go Berry
Me: Raviv, who do you love more, Mommy or Go Berry?
Raviv: Go Berry.
