Amateur Judge

C, commenting on my homemade pizza:  The bread part was very nice, but the tomato stuff was not good.  For this reason, we had to chop you.

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly

After the bath last night:

C:  Brrrrrrr!  I'm cold!
Me:  Yes!  It's a cold night!  Don't worry.  I'll dry you off really quick!
C:  QuickLY.  You'll dry me off really quickLY, Momma.

The apple don't fall far from the tree, does it?

The Beach Is Nice, Too

...And the obsession with Stack The States continues.

C:  Vermont is Daddy's favorite state!  <side note: she says Vermont now>
Me:  That's nice.  What's your favorite state?
C:  Oh, I like Hawaii!
Me:  Ah!  Me, too.  <Realizing that she can't possibly appreciate a tropical island like I can>  What do you like about Hawaii?
C:  Oh, I like it because it's small…like me!

As if there aren't enough reasons to like Hawaii, now I have one more.  :)

The Baby Is Coming!

C is playing with our nativity advent calendar (I put the rest of the decorations away - don't judge!).  I overhear this:

Suddenly, ANGELS appeared in the sky!  They said, "BeHOOOOOOOLD!!  A new baby has come to town!"

So thankful the birds-and-bees discussion seems to be a long way off!

Guilty As Charged

Me: C, why are you so angry?
C: It's because Jimmy called me "belly." That was rude. And cheating. On purpose.
New game: Stack The Accusations!

Ba-Dum-Ching

Me:  We've got to go!  Please put on your shoes.
C:  I can't find them!  Will you help me?
Me:  Sure.  Where did you wear them last?
C:  On my feet.

Swabbie

C:  Momma, I'm noticing that the mop is taller than I am!
Me:  It sure is!
<C brings the mop into the dining room>
Me:  Please take that back to the kitchen.
C:  Oh.
Me:  What would I do with a mop in my dining room?
C:  Hmmmm…<looks down at the carpet>…be worried!
