Owen believes that there are only two categories of vehicles: those which have spoilers and those which do not. When all the stars aligned one night and he suddenly realized during a bedtime conversation that Daddy's car actually falls into the first category, he smiled all the way to sleep.

Things that leave Owen awestruck...
"Mama?"
What, buddy?
"Have you ever seen a cooked apple?"
I have.
"WOW."
"Mama, what if you were a grown-up?"
"Look how medium this is!"
"God made the road. And all the red things."
"What is that in the whole world????"

Owen on good guys and bad guys...
"Mom, I'm gonna pretend like you're a bad guy. And I'm a pirate. But the good kind of pirate. The kind that saves chickens."
"Come on, AK. Let's go squish the bad guys!!!"
The fundamental differences between good guys and bad guys, according to Owen: Good guys always wear pants. Bad guys have squishy ribs and are always hungry.
So funny! The oldest boy I babysit is skeptical of homeless men in bowties.
