The Things They Say

L- "when I big I get shiny black car like dad!"

I offered N two shirts to wear, one had the DKNY logo on it. "I'll wear the doekey one"

Natalie had learned about the Underground Railroad at school.  They are digging a tunnel under the road for a bike path near our house.  She asked if it was going to be a part of the Underground Railroad.  Think we might need to revisit the true meaning there.

L, "It's time go my friend's house it's 80 o'clock."

N, "Mom, is every thing a thing?"

L was naming things we'd see at Sea World.  She paused and asked, "We see Shampoo?"

Nat looks at her math workbook and says,"how much smarter do I have to get cause I'm already pretty smart."

Playing baby dolls with her sisters, Val announces "I need a mom's morning out."

N "Mom if I was alive when you got married I know you'd let me be your flower girl!"

Their school was packing meals to send to Haiti.  The girls told me they packed rice, beans and seal brains.  I said, "WHAT?  Seal Brains?  Are you sure?"  N, "Mom, maybe they like seal brains in Haiti."  Turns out they were misinformed by another student who heard 'seal brains' when in fact it was 'sealed grains' being included in the meals.

When I was putting L to bed she kept saying she didn't want to go to bed, she wanted to stay by me.  She eventually fell asleep but time must have passed very quickly for her because the next morning she kept on with "but I wike you so much mommy"  she didn't realize she'd slept all night.

V & N were singing along to Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer"  but upon closer listening we realized they thought the song was "Livin on a Prairie"

After L spins in circles, "Am I gonna get bizzy?"

Me, "I cleaned your room Nat."
Nat, "Why?!"

L, "My mouth is hungry"

N, "mom you should be proud of me that I made a good choice today. I had to name 3 words that rhyme with 'read' and I didn't say 'peed'!!"

After seeing a girl with braces on her teeth LG said, "I want sparkly teeth too!"

As I was cooking tilapia for dinner L says, "mom I don't want catfish!"
Me, "honey it's not catfish."
L, "it's just cat?"

You might recall L's grisly discovery of the cat whose life ended in the jaws of a wild animal.  Apparently the hind part of the kitty was missing when she saw it.  Her recollection morphed into her randomly commenting, "Wolves eat kitty butts."  Her favorite place to mention this is in public places in a loud voice.
