April 24
Her: Daddy has 2 red spots on his body.
Me: Where? On his face?
Her: No. Right there and right there.
Me: Oh you mean his nipples.
Her: *Confused looked*
Me: Daddies have nipples too. They don't make milk so he won't get breasts. Only mommies make milk for their babies
Her: He still needs a shirt.
An early morning in May sometime:
*Thud*
*Jingle*
Hi minar (Artemis). * giggle* let's go find my mommy
*Jingle to living room/pause*
You know where my momma is?
*Jingle into my room*
Hi! Suns up!
Sometime over the summer
As we watch a waterbirth video
Her: is that where the baby comes out? Out your bottom? Not your belly button?
Me: yup. Do you want to be there when it happens?
Her: *starry eyed* yeah!

Yup. On Juno. Guess what street I just turned down?

Me: What do those nerds taste like?
Her: Like strawberries.... And magic!
Dec 10
Her: you be this really bad guy
Me: Why is he a really bad guy?
Her: Cuz he steals people's baby's and kills them.
Me: .... Yeah. That does make him a really bad guy. He should go to jail where he can't have any fun.
* nonchalantly tosses guy into storage bin and moves on.*
Yesterday.
Me: "I lose!"
Her: "But we're not racing."
Me: "You can lose at other things. Like challenges and games. For instances, in the battle to keep this closet clean, I lose! Look at it! Its a mess! i don't even know where to start to clean it!"

Her: momma you wanna Hold your baby?
Me: I am. I'm nursing my baby.
Her: no that's my baby, this is your baby (holds up herdoll she's had forever).
Me: I thought that was your baby.
Her: no baby aoife is my baby.
Me: baby aoife is my baby too.
Her, casually: no this is you baby.
Me: so the baby I grew in my belly isn't my baby. It's your?
Her: and daddy's.

We were eating a stirfry and she politely asked, "Chopsticks pawease." We get her a pair and she very nonchallantly asks, "How do you use these things?"

Prince fill-pup has become prince Phillip again, only now they sing " once EEpon a bween"
Now that she's four the game has changed slightly. Last night we lit a fire outside and watched a lighting display. Naturally, this brought out her creative side. Suddenly, we were "playing dress up" and I was Cinderella.
As my step-mother she said: your chores today are
1 (counting on her fingers) sweep the floor
2 give lucifer a bath
3 give a bath to yourself
4 blow your noods (nose)
5 turn off the chrimpsus lights (the white lights that hang on our back deck)
6 turn off the fire
7 turn off the lights (I assume she meant indoors)
8 blow on the fire
9 and 10 I forget because I was laughing too hard and trying to remember the first 8!
