kids say the darndest things.......

I have been trying to keep track of the funny things that the girls say by having a separate page for each on the computer. I was adding one of Avery's the other day and started reading the past entries. I'd forgotten a lot of them so I am glad that I wrote them down when I did. Here are some gooders:



Mayson -



** When were were camping in 2008, Grandpa Richards was scooping ice cream for dessert and asked Mayson if she wanted Smartie or mint. She said "I want fartie please", to which he replied, "You want fartie ice cream". Mayson says (with her hands around her mouth to emphasize) "No, I said FARTIE ice cream, not fartie ice cream." Her SM sounds were the same as her F sounds.



**For about a week after she turned 4, in every prayer she asked "and please help that I can turn 5".



**Was playing with the Dora video camera and was going around saying "I caught it on filt". I said "You mean film?" "Yes, on film."



**We were driving in the car one day and she asked what kind of car Gramma DJ had. I said "a cobalt". She said "okay a cobalt, got it." Then she wasked what kind of car we had, I said a caravan. She said "okay, a cobalt and a caravan, got them both."



**Always makes me pictures and stuff for 'happy I love you day'.



**Has told me on a few occasions that she is 'excited to have blood and wear pads'.



**When I was putting the girls to bed one night I told them that the next day we were going to have a picnic with her uncles and Gramma DJ on sunday. She said 'Yep, your brothers and my uncles.' I said 'yes that's right'. 'And dad is your brother cuz he's a boy'. 'No, dad is my husband'. No, Link is my brother and dad is your husband, they are exactly the same but just in Spanish'.



**One morning asked me which finger was the 'wedding one' and she put a flower ring on her finger and said, 'I put my ring on this finger to help Link remember that he is going to marry me'. Then she switched it to her middle finger and said 'actually, I'll put it on this finger cuz its longer so it will give Link a longer memory'.



**We were making a Christmas list for Santa and she said 'I want some Barbies and some make up'. I said 'and you need some t-shirts', and she said 'ya and some t-pants'. I laughed for like 5 minutes.



**I was playing with her hair and she pulled away and said 'mom what are you doing?' 'I'm just playing with your hair'. She got all mad and said 'but my hair is not a toy!'



**Asked me if the drain from the eavestroph was 'all the pee coming out'.



**The girls were playing and singing Happy Birthday while blowing out the candles on a play-food birthday cake, and Avery blew out the candles when Mayson wanted to. Avery said 'well I wanted to blow them out'. Mayson said 'well blow them back up so I can have a turn!'.



**Told me one morning 'I want to be a mermaid. I still want you as my family, but I just want to be a mermaid cuz I'm sick of walking everywhere'.



**While playing bowling on the Wii, she would throw the ball then hit herself in the stomach with her other hand. I asked her why she kept doing it, and she said 'to help me remember that I don't have to win all the time. It helps snap me back. Other people want to win too, and I don't have to take all the points for me'.



**At Oler's cabin, she had her bathing suit on and wanted to sleep in it, I told her she couldn't because it wouldn't be very comfortable. She said 'I know what I'll do. I'll go up into the loft and think of a plan for me to sleep in my bathing suit so it will be comfy'. After a few minutes she shouted down from the loft very excitedly 'I've got it! I'll just lay really still and think of something fun so I won't wiggle around and then I can sleep in my bathing suit and it won't be uncomfortable'.

** Slept over at Gramma DJ's, and they were having a conversation about 'eWastics'. Gramma told her 'its eLastics', and Mayson said 'I know why they are called elastics, the brown part is the elas, and the silver part is the stick'.


Avery -

** Calls "Where's Waldo" books 'where's yo-yo'.

** Cut her finger on the swing at the park one day and told me the story as follows: We went to the park, and I was on the swing, then I wanted to go backwards, then I hurt my finger, then I cried, then we came back home, then we put a bangang (bandaid) on it, then it will feel better and go back to skin.

**Pronounces marshmallows "fao-shmaos"

**We saw brown flecks on some trees one day and she said 'mama, that stuff is so disthguthing'.

** We saw a bunch of gopher holes in the ground, and the girls asked what they were, I said gopher holes. Mayson said 'gophers are kind of like squirrels Avery'. Avery said 'like gopher guts gophers?'.

**SIDE NOTE: for those of you who don't know, Mayson and Avery have ALWAYS called the female genitilia 'jyneena', even after countless corrections by me. Use as reference for the next two.....

** Saw Jon getting out of the shower one day, and asked him 'why is there a tail hanging from your jyneena?' The girls were not allowed in the bathroom when he was in there from that point on.

**Mike was sleeping over one night and was asking what we were having for dinner. I asked him what he wanted and he said Chinese food. Avery said 'we can't eat jyneena food'.

**Told me as I was getting out of the shower one day 'mom I really like your boobs', like she was complimenting my shirt or something.

**Avery and Mayson were in the bathroom at church one day and I was waiting outside the door for them. Avery said something to Mayson twice that I couldn't hear, then Mayson said 'Avery, stop worrying about my poop and just go pee'. Then Avery said 'Mayson I really like your long long long long (about 15 times) poop'. Mayson said 'thanks Avery, but stop talking about my poop and just go pee'.

**I asked her why she hadn't picked up the dress up clothes yet, and she said 'its a life choice, there's nothing wrong with it!'

** She was helping me put up Christmas decorations outside and someone was using a nail gun in the distance and she asked 'who's tooting?'

**Asked me 'do mermaids just pee in their fins?' I said probably. She said 'cuz they can't just pull them down or anything....'

**While watching a movie one afternoon she had her head on my stomach and it was making gurgling noises. She said 'when your tummy is tooting it means you want a snack right?'

** On her 4th birthday she asked me 'I'm 4 now right? I am older but my name is still Avery. My name hasn;t changed right? No your name never changes, it doesn't matter how old you get. 'Ok good'.


Roewyn - (I only have one so far as she is not talking as much as Mayson and Avery, but she does lots of silly things. Her list is all her milestones and things like that, so its not that I'm playing favorites)

** Mayson and Avery were at a sleepover at Gramma DJ's. I asked Roewyn in the morning 'where's Mayson and Avery?' She said 'I no know'. Later she was watching Diego and I was rubbing her back and playing with her hair and asked 'do you miss your sisters?' She said 'watching Diego' as she fanned me away. Pardon et moi!
