"That's not healthy""Is this healthy?" -Andrew
"Jackson's so cute! No, Jack! Don't look at me with those big eyes!"
"I had a dream that I was getting my nails polished at a nail salon."
"Nala's sitting just like a queen."
-Alifa
"Jesse, I wish I lived in a world of Coleslaw." - Isaac (This kid has the best imagination ever. I love hanging out with him.)
Dad: Telling a story about India..."I was really jetlagged..."
Andrew: "You were bootlegged?!?"
Isaac: "I have a buff leg."
Jack: "You were a waffle fish?"
"I'm a donkey...and donkeys are mysterious!"-Alifa
Andrew and Alifa quoting Kung Fu Panda: "
You know what the best part of that movie is? When he's trying to get the, what are those called again? Dumplings and he's like 'You are free to eat...I said, you are free to eat' 'Am I?' 'Are you?' many indescribable Kung Fu sounds and actions follow...

Dad: "The answer is always yes, Andrew."
Dad: "The answer is always yes, Andrew."
The following conversations occur every night (without fail):
Alifa: "But why do I have to go to bed so early? It's vacation!"
Dad: "It's not early, it's almost 11!"
Alifa: "Well how come Jesse gets to stay up? Can I PLEASE stay up with Jesse? Just once?"
The answer is never yes, but Alifa is always awake when I finally go to bed:
Alifa: "How come you get to stay up?
Jesse: "Um, I'm 10 years older than you."
Alifa: "I wish I could stay up late. Are you tired?"
Jesse: "Alifa, you are up late, and yes, I'm always tired."
Alifa: "I'm not tired, I can't sleep. I'm a night person.".....and I end up falling asleep to the sound of her voice, blabbering on about whatever's in her head that night.
"People say you cannot wash the dust of Africa off your feet...well, I have been rolled in it."
"People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa...It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege" - David Livingstone
