I think I could make an entire blog dedicated to the wonderful things Eliot says, but for now I'll just include them here.
#1
Eliot has a bad habit of drinking his milk, juice, water, etc. like a frat boy at a
kegger. No joke, it doesn't matter if it's 6oz or 44oz, he will gulp his beverage without taking a breath and then gasp for air when he's finished.
We told him that he needs to slow down on several occasions, and the other morning he lost all patience with us. During breakfast he started to gulp his milk. I said, "Eliot, remember, you need to slow down. Drink it slower, not faster." Joel chimed in with something like, "Yea, buddy, slow down."
Eliot said, "I know, I know. That's not MY problem mom and dad. That's YOUR problem."

I slept on my neck wrong a few nights ago and have had this kink in my neck that only lets me turn my head slightly to the left before
excruciating pain radiates throughout my body. Eliot said something to me in the car this morning and when I turned to look at him I let out a little yelp. He asked me what was wrong and I told him I had hurt my neck.
"I didn't hurt MY neck," he said, "because I'm a boy, and boys don't hurt their necks."
"Really?" I asked.
"Boys don't hurt their necks because they have muscles. Girls hurt their necks because they don't have muscles. They have flowers in their
tummys."
