Mumma makes the rules and the ants in the stoplights

[Matt] After repeatedly asking me if he could play a game on my iPod, and after me repeatedly saying no, I started to get a little frustrated.  I turned to him and said, "Matthew, NO means..."

To my great surprise and amusement, Matt literally threw his arms up in the air - rolled his eyes - turned around and walked out of the room, calling over his shoulder, "Yeah, yeah... I know... no means no... Mumma make the rules..."

Yesterday I was driving home from food shopping with the kids.  I overheard this conversation in the back:

Jill: Matt, how do the stop lights work?
Matt replied, matter-of-factly: Well, Jill, there are little ants inside the stop lights and they press a button that makes the lights turn green.  We should say thank you to the ants.
Jill and Matt together: Thank you ants!

Jill thinks that whenever there are pink clouds in the sky at sunset, God made them especially for her, because He knows that she looooves pink.

Matt loves all things related to Nintendo's Mario Brothers. He has Mario figurines, Mario games, he draws Mario pictures, etc. etc. Somehow he got it in his head that Mario and his friends live on a planet in outer space.  One day last week, he decided to draw a picture of Mario and wanted to give it to him, so after much thought and deliberation on how he was going to get the picture to Mario if he lives on another planet, Matt decided to enlist the aid of - ready for this? - the Tooth Fairy.  Now every night, Matt leaves another picture of Mario under his pillow and wakes up every morning excited to see if the Tooth Fairy took his picture and delivered it to Mario in outer space.

Oi.
