conversating

Em told me this morning that the kitchen was smelly.

"What does it smell like?" I asked her.

"Daddy."

Em took one of her doll babies in the car today on our errands. While she was fussing with its clothing (her own preemie clothes), I mentioned that she was about the same size as the doll at birth.

"Roo, you were even smaller." I said.

I told them their birth weights, 3lbs 5oz for Em and 2lbs 8oz for Roo.

Roo puzzled over it for a moment and said, "Two hundred and eight dollars?"

"Oh no" I said, "You cost a lot more than that."

Roo thought another moment, then said, "Oh. Two hundred and eight million dollars."

Yeah, that's a little closer.

Funny stuff I've heard and don't want to forget...

After handing the girls their swim goggles, Em asked for help putting on her 'sim gobbles' (cute!) and Roo wanted to have the orange 'google-les'. She pronounced it the way it read to her (love that!).

Roo climbing a rock formation at the park and getting to a tough point. "I am so stuck. Stuck. Stuck. Stuck."

Em spotting Venus in the sky. [gasp] "Is the evening star! I makin' a wish"

Roo after being admonished for hitting with the flyswatter. "I'm not hitting. I'm shooing"

Em looking for a missing Disney princess item. "Where is Princess Booty and Princarella?"

the tip of the proverbial iceberg

Listed below is a very small sampling of the things J and I have said over the last 2 months. Words and phrases in combinations we never ever imagined would pass our lips.

-Get the toothbrush out of your bottom!

-Don't bite your shoes.

-Take the potty chair off of your head.

-You've had enough bacon already. How about a cookie?

-You can play with the tomato after you put your panties back on.
