Animal Teeth!

Laura's Post:

Me: Aunty Kitt is coming for Christmas.
Thalia: What we get her?
Me: I don't know.
Thalia: Animal teeth!
Me: Animal teeth?
Thalia: Lion and piggy teeth!
(She leaves the room and comes back with a visual aid)
Me: Oh! An electric toothbrush!
Thalia: (triumphant ) Animal teeth!

Climbing Wall

Thalia: (frustrated and pointing to the china cabinet) I can't climb up the climbing wall!

It's going to be a long winter.

Stretching All Night

First thing in the morning, I am less than coherent, so it takes me a while to process that my two-year-old is trying to chat with me. She's not fazed by that. She'll happily repeat herself until she's acknowledged...

Thalia: Daddy, I was stretching all night. I was stretching all night. I was stretching all night. I was stretching all night. I was stretching all night.
Sophia: You were stretching?
Thalia: No, all night.
Me: Why were you stretching all night?
Thalia: Because.

Newsworthy!

At breakfast:
Thalia: ...Sophia. Sophia. Sophia. Sophia...
Sophia: (ignores Thalia)
Thalia: ...Sophia. Sophia. Sophia. Sophia...

Laura: Sophia! Please answer your sister.

Sophia: What.

Thalia: My eyes are closed!

Laura: That was worth it, hahaha!

Sophia: (sigh)

The Bottom Drawer

Sophia: I can't find the pajamas!
Laura: They're in the bottom drawer!
Thalia: You said "bottom." Hahahaha!

And now Laura's got a giggle fit.

Car Shopping

Laura's Post:

Me: Thalia, we're going to shop for a new car today.
Thalia: A racing car?!
Me: No.
Thalia: (disappointed) Oh. OK...

She had other suggestions (which I don't think can fit three car seats)...

The Dawn Treader's Poop Deck

While driving around town running errands, we were listening to an audiobook of C.S. Lewis's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Chapter Eight, "Two Narrow Escapes":

...And now the real danger was at hand. Could they get it over the poop, or was it already too tight? Yes. It would just fit. It was resting on the poop rails. A dozen or more sprang up on the poop. This was far better. The Sea Serpent’s body was so low now that they could make a line across the poop and push side by side....

Thalia: Haha! Poop. He pushed poop. Haha...

I know. Obvious potty humor. But I was eagerly anticipating my two-year-old to point that out, and she did not disappoint, haha...
