More MoJo

So much material yesterday, and did not make it to post!

M on her obsession with organizing: I am trying to grow out the habit.
____
J to F: you are illegal, you cannot put a match in the toilet!
___
J to me: I do not have to listen to you. You are not a queen or a king or a princess. You are not royal.
___
M on her motherhood :It must be hard to have four kids. Especially with twins.
J: She has like triplets but we didn't al come out at the same time (nice math)
M: No, triplets would be a nightmare. I plan on having two or three kids. Did you plan on having three kids or were you settled on two?
Me: We planned on having all of you but we did not know we would have twins. We thought we would have a third baby and then a fourth.
M: If I had twins, it would be my first and last kid. If I cannot have babies, I will get the egglets.
Me: Egglets?
M: Yeah. But I would only get one or two egglets put in me. But if the egglets did not work, then I would adopt. But I would like two or three kids. I cannot imagine being you.
Me: We are happy we have all of the kids we have.
M: Yeah, but if you had kids with good habits, that never fought and were not rude, then maybe it would be a good to have a lot but that doesn't really happen, so I want two kids.
_____
J on the homeless man who sells junk on Lenox (he is obsessed with him!): He is my best friend.
Me: You do not even know him and kids cannot be best friends with men who are not even in their family.
J: Yes, I am best friends with him.
M: You cannot do that, you already have a best friend, M (from BT). It is like having a wife and saying that you are looking for a girlfriend. You already have it. It does not make sense.
J (one track mind): I am best friends with all of papi's friends and they are grown ups.
Me: Really? You like A, B, C (I name some)?
M: He (referring to one) is not my friend. It is not appropriate to yell at other people's kids and he did that to me at the Jersey shore, so I would never be his friend.
___
M after finding her goggles on her arm: I am like an old man looking for his glasses that are on his head.
_____
M on her great day: I think the reason I am usually grouchy in the morning is that I do not relax enough. Today I stayed in my bed.
___
M on self control: I am trying to settle the mode of always rushing and organizing (she is). And, not to brag, but I think I am doing a good job (she definitely is!)
_____
J: Who made birthdays up? Abe Lincoln?
