Out of the Mouths of Babes--October

10/2--Caroline was just being her cute little silly self and I was giggling.  She said, "I funny to you, Mom."

Yes, you are.

10/2--I was blowing my hair dry, which is a rare occurrence.  Caroline came walking into the bathroom and said, "You look amazing."

 Thanks, sweetheart.

So do you.

10/5--Brandon's deep thought for the day:  When we say "they", who are we talking about?  Like "they" added preservatives to my food?  Who are "they"?

They say that building Bionicles leads to increased dexterity.

10/6--While eating tortilla chips with her lunch, Care Bear got one that was curled up on the edges.  She said, "It's like a potato chip dancing."

 Dancing hair

10/11--I smelled a smell coming from Caroline's way.  A dirty-diaperish smell.  I asked her, "Are you stinky?"  She said, "No.  It's an alien."

 Already testing conspiracy theories.

10/19--Whit was in bed tonight and I slipped into her room to put some laundry away.  She was staring at her lamp and asked, "Mom, how does electricity work?"  Whoa--how much time do you have, sweetheart?

"How does corn grow?

How did I get this cute?"

10/21--We had ice cream cones for dessert after dinner tonight.  Brandon did this with his:

and said, "Look!  I'm a narwhal!"

10/23--I came downstairs in my fancy dress and high heels for a special date night tonight (more to come on that in a post later) and Brandon told me, "You look like a princess.  And you look really tall."  How super sweet is that? 

 Charmer.

10/24--Whit was wearing a dress that tied in the back, but by the end of church, her ties had come undone and were just hanging at her side.  She told Drew, "I wish I could duct tape this tie to my bum so I could chase my own tail."

10/24--We sat down for a chili dinner tonight.  Caroline called it her, "spicy cereal."

10/28--At the science center, Whitney was putting on a puppet show for us with a pterodactyl and a triceratops.  The dialogue was about how one was a walking dinosaur and one could fly.  The triceratops said, "We have diversity!  That means we are different."  

 Welcome to Diversity Theater where we value our differences.
