Conversations with Harlan

We watched Jurassic Park the other night. If you remember, they thought the dinosaurs were all female but because they had used frog DNA to fill in the gaps in the dino DNA, the dinos developed the ability to switch sex and reproduce.

Harlan: “Dad, if I had a dinosaur I would name him Bob. But if he suddenly started laying eggs, I would call it Alissa.”

Harlan’s friend Matthew came over the other day.

Harlan: “Let’s pretend we’re half man, half wolf!”

Matthew: “Yeah! And half monkey!”

Goo

Wisdom from a 6-year-old:

“Dad, if you want to know goo, you’ve got to taste goo.”

So Tala took Harlan to the Asian shopping center down the street after school today.

They were moseying along when Harlan suddenly went: “Mom, I have to go to the bathroom really bad.”

That was quickly followed by, “We’d better go now, otherwise I’m doing to redecorate my pants.”

I think he got it off TV somewhere, but he insisted it was his own joke.
