More Brenden Quote-age

Brenden: I can't take it anymore. I can't wait any longer.
(Gets up from the table and grabs a weird Asian snack from the cupboard that we've had since before we got married)
Me: I didn't know you wanted to eat that. Ever.
Brenden: I always want to eat everything.

(Trying to reassure me about my exam tomorrow that I haven't studied for)
Brenden: Maybe you will have a dream tonight that will teach you everything you need to know for the test. You will wake up in the morning, "Oh that was a weird dream. Now I don't need to study."

(Talking to me about how long it's taken me to do my homework)
Brenden: Homework does take a long time when you have to do the imaginary problems too.

(Fighting over whose music we get to listen to)
Brenden: My music makes me smart. (pause) That was rude. I'm sorry.

Snippets of our conversations

(Or ridiculous quotes from Brenden.)

Me: Do you think that the Mozart effect really works?
Brenden: I don't know but I think we should try out the Mahler effect on our kids. And Wagner, too. (Clarification: Not on Wagner but the Wagner effect.)
Me: I don't think we should make them listen to Wagner. I think that's a decision they should make for themselves.
Brenden: BLASPHEMY! We can't leave them to make these decisions on their own. We have to raise them right.

Brenden: (after fixing me a late night grapefruit snack) I licked all your food.
and later...
Brenden: I want a grape fruit too. It's good for colon health, right?
