At Food 4 Less for an after-school snack.
Cameron: I can't wait till I'm 20. No, 40. Then I'll have lots of money for an awesome car.
Me: I'm 40 and *I* don't have money for an awesome car.
Cam: That's because you spend all your money on makeup, and food that we obviously don't need.
Me: Like these cheese puffs?
Cam: No. Well. Ah, that's hard.

Later that afternoon they ate pomegranates. They had to choose a fruit before they could eat their junk food.
Cam: I'm really glad you got us these pocket knives, Mom!
Me: Oh good. Why's that?
Cam: They come with tweezers and that's how Harrison and I are getting those little seeds out.

Before bed with Harrison.
Me: Do you know who's speaking at General Conference in this picture?
Harrison: Oh! It's that one guy . . . hm. The 12th Apostle?
Me: He's AN apostle. President Uchtdorf.
Harrison: That picture was too tiny. If I'd have seen his hair I would have known.

Me: We need to make sure we say our prayers. Do you pray on your own?
Harrison: Yes, every day. When I'm scared, or need help. Guess how many blessings I have. Billions. Because I have faith. That's how I found the Roku remote that one time under a pile of clothes.
(Bryce said that Harrison also tells him he can tell which packs of baseball cards have Giants in them because he has faith.)

Harrison: You know who I like? Cole Hardy. He is always smiling. He was so happy to do his part in the Primary program. If I were a little kid I would ask Cole to be my best friend.
