Robby Compendium

Here are some Robby quotes I have been compiling over the last few months... it's probably well enough stocked now for me to post!

My VT to Robby: "That is an iceberg." Robby: "Ooh! My Steeler's shirt says 'iceberg' on it!!" Me: "Not iceberg, Robby. PITTSburgh."

"Can you find my dump-truck? I had it last year and I brought it with us to stupid ranch." A mis-pronunciation of our subdivison... steubing ranch.

Robby: (very rudely) I WANT ICE CREAM!!
me: No way, you are being sassy and you need to eat breakfast.
Robby: (still very rudely) I'M GOING TO STOP BEING SASSY NOW!!
**pause**
(now very sweetly) Okay, I'm not sassy anymore! NOW can I have ice cream?

A Robby knock-knock joke:
"Knock-knock" (who's there?) "Orange Banana." (Orange banana who?) "I'm glad I didn't say banana banana! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"When I was a human, I ate sushi!"

"There is a man growing inside my tummy."

Tucking Robby in, I asked him what he hoped to see at the zoo tomorrow. His answer? "Garbage cans. Dey will have lots of garbage cans dere."

Robby offered Megan one of the sour patch kids he had found (a green one) and said, "Here! It's lettuce flavor!"

This one requires a little background info. Robby has had a morbid fascination with thunderstorms ever since a very loud one happened directly overhead several months ago. Now he mentions them in every prayer, mealtime or otherwise. He is afraid of them, but loves to see pictures of lightning on the computer, and anything else containing a lightning bolt. The local members of our church put on a production of the play "The Savior of the World," which depicts events from the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. During the scene showing the storms and things that struck immediately following the death of Christ, there was a lightning storm effect done with stage lights.

Robby couldn't stop talking about it, and kept asking when there would be more thunderstorms. I kept trying to shush him, but he persisted, so finally I said, "The thunderstorm happened because Jesus died." Robby considered this for a moment then asked, sounding a little too hopeful, "Can Jesus die again?" My answer was, "No. That's the whole point!"

Megan: "I got my water noodle from the dollar store!"

Robby: "I got my water noodle in New York City!"
