Our local Christian radio station does something called the Family Name Game each week. They tell the special name in the morning, then if you have a child named that special name, you can call in at a certain time and tell about your child and win a prize. The names are usually pretty common like Matthew, Brooke, Noah, Sarah, etc.
Fletcher: They never say my name on the Family Name Game.
Mom: Well, that's because your name is not as common as some of these other names.
Dad: When you were born, we decided to pick a name that was really cool and unique and that not very many kids had.
Luke: (with great excitement) So what did you pick?
Mom: Um, "Fletcher"
Dad: Good thing you're cute, Luke.

Before Bed
Dad: Luke, Daddy is leaving tomorrow morning for a work trip for a few days. So I want you to work really hard to listen and obey Mommy, ok?
Luke: Ok. Will you bring us a mint?
Dad: Well, I won't be here for a few days because I'm leaving in the morning before you get up. But maybe I'll bring a mint when I get back.
Luke: When we wake up in the morning, can you make pancakes?
Dad: *sigh*

Mom, getting out of shower with towel wrapped around me.
Luke walking in, realizing I had just gotten out of the shower: Can I smell your pits?*
*This is where silly things we do come back to bite us. Ever since the boys were little, I've told them if they didn't want to take a bath that they had to because they had "stinky pits" (armpits). Then after their baths, they would tell me their pits were clean and I would tickle them under their clean armpits. Just for the record, I told him "No. Run along now and go play."
