Eating Habits

Rocco: "I have 5-year old taste buds and a 40 year old stomach."

--regretting his chocolate milk-and-ice-cream choices.

Giggles N' Sleep

Rocco is laughing in his sleep. I ask him what's so funny...

Rocco: "I'm farting around the room like a balloon!"

Modern Technology

Rocco: There's a lot of stupid going on.

--About iPhone apps that don't live up to his standards.

Lost in the Supermarket

We're looking at ready-made chicken in the supermarket.

Me: I tried that when you were abroad.
Rocco (without missing a beat): I was never a broad. I was born A MAN.

1/2 Sleep

Sleepy Rocco stirs after I roll over in bed...

Rocco: Are you okay?
Me: Yeah, everything's fine.
Rocco: Am I okay?

Later...

Rocco, half-asleep and pawing at me in the dark.

Rocco: What is it?
Me: That's me.

Brunch Grammar

Rocco is asking the waiter for "fomosas" and is confused when the waiter says they don't have that.

Rest of the group: Fomosas? What are those?

Rocco: It's orange juice and champagne.

Rest of the group: MIMosas.

Later, the waiter brings mimosas, with a layer of foamy orange juice floating on the top.

Rocco, redeemed: Foam! Foamosas!

Rest of the group: It does exist!

Give-away quote of the week

I'm pretending to punch Rocco in the stomach for being cheeky.

Me: Domestic violence!

Rocco: They should make violins in the shape of houses. Like Domestic Violins.
