Manny Quote Monday

I haven’t done a “Manny Quote Monday” in a while... not for lack of great quotes! But I just haven’t been good about writing them down. I figured a short post was better than none. So here it is! Part 3! And, honestly, I wish I had these all on film. The WAY he says this stuff... so much better than the actual words... He’s hilarious.

We were in a restaurant having lunch (gift card choice, of course). Manny has had an obsession with maps lately. Any piece of random paper or old mail becomes a map. So he was looking at the children’s menu (his map) laying out a plan of attack on the enemy.
Manny: We’ll get the giant with lava!
Mom: Ya know what might defeat a giant better than lava?
Manny: What’s that mom?
Mom: A stone and a sling!
Manny: Stops to think a moment Uhhhh..... well... can’t deny that one!

Manny was throwing his hands toward me with sound effects. I honestly thought he was make-believing he was Spider-Man shooting webs out of his hands... because that was what it looked/sounded like.
Mom: Hey! You just webbed my face!
Manny: *In a completely calm and matter-of-fact tone* No... I just threw fire at your face. Don’t worry. No weapons... just fire
Calm down mom... seriously... its just fire...

Manny: I’m just gonna climb up the wall, then onto the ceiling, then to the other wall...
Dad: I dunno... there is a thing called “gravity”...
Manny: Gravity? Oh yeah, we can do that... no problem!

Looking at letter flashcards
​Dad: That’s the letter “A” Manny
Manny: Are you out of your mind, Daddy?!

I was reading Manny the story from Luke 4 of the temptation of Jesus. We had just read the part where Satan tells Jesus to jump off the temple because the scripture declares angels will save him.
Mom: What about you? Would you jump off the temple?
Manny: No, I wouldn’t. It would be too scary for me. It would be too dangerous.
Mom: Yeah, I wouldn’t either.
Manny: Well, if I had my cape on, I would
🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

Mom: Manny, would you like a kiwi?
Manny: No thanks. It’s just really not my favorite.
After about halfway through eating the kiwi
Mom: See, not so bad.
Manny: Ya know... I think I REALLY like this! It’s my favorite!
Of course it is... of course...

Hands me a pen and paper
Manny: Mom, can you draw a scorpion?
I draw a quick scorpion
Mom: Does it look like a scorpion?
Manny: Yes... it does... he’s bad news!..

Manny: Lightning McQueen!!! He’s the fastest car in the pridelands!
Mom: Don’t you mean Radiator Springs?
Manny: Radiator Springs... yeah... oh yeah... right...

For anyone who knows both Cars and The Lion Guard, LOL
