Out of the mouths of babes--June

I'm having issues getting pics from my camera onto this computer away from home, so I only have the ones I had already uploaded before we left on our venture. Anyway, here are the quips from June.

6/1--Whit was snacking on almonds and excitedly said, "Mom, you HAVE to come look at this!" I came over to the table to find this:

"I made a constellation out of almonds!"
She was VERY proud of herself.

6/1--B's class at school has been working on a science unit about butterflies. The students made observations and wrote notes in their journals. B's cracked me up, especially on 5/15:
"5-15-09 It's a butterfly! there's 10-15 of 'em. surprisingly, they are peacefully eating their poop."

6/2--Whit saw something on a kids show about "going green" and was talking about it when the show was over.
I asked her, "So what does it mean to go green?"
W: Your skin starts turning green!
Apparently the show didn't have the impact it was going for.

6/16--B's random thought of the day, "I wonder what it's like to be a sound wave."
Don't we all?

6/16--W's deep thoughts from the back seat: "What does 'simple' mean?"
After I explain a couple of definitions, she goes on.
"I don't know what a lot of hard words mean. I only know what Architeuthis means."
Oh, everyone knows what that means! (Scientific name for giant squid.) This girl is going to be a hoot for her kindergarten teacher.

6/18--Another deep thought from Whit: "When you put stuff between two pieces of bread, why do they call it a sandwich? I mean, the bread is the same color as sand. But why would they call it a witch? That's for Halloween!"

6/19--While out enjoying nature, Whit said, "A bug almost flew in my eye and I almost died!"
Drew: "You wouldn't DIE, sweetie."
W: "If it flew in my eye, I would!"
I guess her phobia is very similar to mine that a bug will climb in my ear and lay eggs.

6/20--We had some fun babysitters over for the kids tonight. When we got home, they told us that they set up a little obstacle course in the backyard for the kids. Brandon loved it, but Whit didn't want to do it. She told them, "I have weak ankles." Come on, girl. Get movin'!

6/21--Whit is really into telling jokes during dinner. Here's an example:
W: What did the house say to the patio?
We all came up with clever responses, but were wrong.
The correct answer, according to W: Where are you going with that umbrella?
B: I don't get it.
W: It was a getless joke.
