(Clark’s best friend from school, Caroline, came over with her mom to drop off food. Clark peed his bed during his nap, so needless to say, we opted to leave him in his room during the visit). Afterward:
Clark: Is Caroline still here?
Tanner: Nope, she left.
Clark: (crying) But I wanted to see her!
Tanner: I’m sorry, but if you hadn’t peed your pants you could have.

11-year-old: Brady.
Clark: That’s a great name!

Clark: Mama, did you know that Audrey has three mamas?

Cherylyn: Clarkie, you need to stop crying.
Clark: I can’t stop crying
Cherylyn: Why not?
Clark: Because my heart is making me sad!
(when putting Clark down for his nap, Tanner “fixed” his heart by tickling him to make him feel better)
Clark: Nana, guess what Dada did?! He fixed my heart so that it wasn’t sad anymore!

Clark: Hey! We … don’t … say … POOP!

(Clark, with a stuffy nose, crying at the dinner table)
Tanner: Clark, say the prayer.
Clark: I can’t because my nose is grumbling!
