Quirks

Jacob-isms:

*Bad guys have a smell. They smell like worms.
*Most sentences begin with "Wait a second..." and "Actually..."
*Sometimes he is a green goo ball. They stick and unstick.
*Jacob's stick horse is a rescue horse named Flood.
*Jacob's backpack monkey is named Gaudi and he's Spanish.
*The way to say "Hello" in Chinese is "Christmas Tree."
*The moon and the sun follow us everywhere.
*Jacob is very concerned with what foods are good for what body parts. Most meals begin with, "What is this good for my?"
*All things will be accomplished when Jacob is five. He will go to school; he will ride a bike; he will be a grandad. That is, until he learned about 100. Now everything is set back to 100. That's when he'll be bigger than Daddy.
*Sometimes we are followed by Jacob's friend, Sweeper, and the Super Brothers.
*Jacob says, "I will never want to get married. I will want to grow up and change my name to Steve and find a blue dog named Blue and a talking mailbox."
*Even if he's tired, Jacob will not go to bed until exactly 8:00.
*Jake touches the rug by the piano when entering and leaving the living room every single time.

Ella-isms:

*Most uttered phrase: "Ella do it!!!"

*She thinks that Elmo's full name is Elmo's World.
*Ella knows magic and uses it to "getta ba' guy."
*She believes that every single object in the universe has its own song. What's weird is that she's mostly right if we take large liberties. (i.e. "Do da Aunt Nikki song!" becomes "Oh, Nikki, you're so fine...")
*Ella thinks that all Black men in ties are Barack Obama.
*When finishing a juice box, Ella takes the bendy straw out, puts it in her mouth, and pretends to be a walrus.
*All bears must wear diapers.
*Sometimes, Ella is a robot.
*When the phone rings, Ella runs to the phone yelling, "Ella get it!!! Ella get it!!!" (Please don't hang up.)
*Ella is a puzzlemaster.
*Ella would brush her teeth ten times a day if we let her.
*If anyone but Ella closes the refrigerator door, Ella falls to the floor and cries. "Ella do it!"
