"I saw Osama, the bad guy, in a dream last night...

...he just looked at me for a while and then ran back to his house for some tea to see if he would kill me or not."

"If a young mommy asked me to be her boy - I would send her to prison!"
I wouldn't try him on that one...

With angelic face, "But sometimes I like to party."

The scene: Uncle John is reading Margaret Wise Brown's Big Red Barn when Uncle John sez, "Animals and humans like to sleep when it's dark outside", Nick's above response drove Uncle John to the floor in hysterical laughter, but, more importantly, made Uncle John quite proud.

"I am determined to break every rule."

...before his first day of school. Joy.

"Get your laughs ready..."

Priming mom for something he is sure to make her laugh.

"I would eat hot cheese...if I was a grown up."

"Even though you fart and stink, I still love you"

...excuse me while I whip a tear....
