collection of kid quotes

In our family we celebrate two birthdays 16 days apart in Sept/Oct. We honored those birthday with a beach trip this past Sunday. It started out not fun due to crappy attitudes and car fights, but turned out to be a very nice time. Sometimes it is necessary (even required) for parents to say threatening things to children on the ride to a family day at the beach. It just is.

I've been scrawling down kid quotes for a couple weeks. Some funny, some just odd.  
The quotes are like the kids that way, I suppose.

(Sunday at beach)

Me - "Lydie, what are you doing honey?"

Lydie - "UH....This lady is letting me do her hair, that's what."

(After asking to take the kids' photo all together and making Noah mad)
Me - "Noah, what was that angry terrible attitude about earlier?"
Noah - "There was wind and it was bright and I couldn't see and it hurt."
Me - "Huh. Well all the other kids were there and nobody else had that issue."
Noah - "I am pretty sure Isaac thought it was bright too."
Me - "But did Isaac get mad, cross his arms, refuse to cooperate over it?"
Noah - "No."
Me - "What do you think you could learn ... About choosing to have a good attitude?"
Noah - "I don't want to learn anything."
