We need to write these things down

During an evening walk a couple weeks ago
Tess: "How old is Uncle Jeff?"
Dad: "38."
Tess: "Whoa! That's tall!"


After carrying fake popsicles into the living room where Mom and Dad were relaxing -
Tess: [Using a sing-song voice] "I have popsicles for you if you ask using manners!"
Mom: "May I please have a popsicle?"
Tess: "There it is!" [meaning that Mom used the manners properly]

Gael's Dad, Grant, is very tall. And for some reason, comparing things to Grant's height has been very popular lately. Two examples:
On the way to school, we pass a construction site with a huge crane. Some days we stop to watch all the workers. Last week, after observing the moving crane for several minutes - 
Tess: "I'm sure that crane is taller than Grant!"

On the way to physical therapy on Monday we had a great view of the snow covered mountains -
Dad: "See that big white one out your window? That's called Longs Peak."
Tess: "Yes, and it is taller than Grant!"


On the way home from swim class last Thursday -
Tess: [Completely out of the blue] "I don't want to be four! I just want to be three for a long long time!"
