Words of Wisdom

A has become quite the comedienne, so I thought I 'd share some of her words of wisdom.

While playing Hungry Hippos one day, A decided she would be the pink and orange hippos and mommy could play the green and yellow ones. About two minutes into the game, A puts her hand on the green hippo and says, "Mommy, the he's not hungry anymore."

A has been taking Spanish at her new pre-school. One day after school, I was asking A if she was learning any Spanish, yet. I said, "Have you learned hola, como esta, bien?" She interrupts me and says, "Mom, I'm not Dora."

We were watching a commercial for the SpinBrush, and A says, "Look at that, mom." "It's a toothbrush," is my response. Without missing a beat, A says, "That's not a toothbrush, it's a teethbrush." She's got me there; it does brush more than one tooth at a time.

After church, I was asking A what they talked about in her new Sunday school class. "Did you read about Isaac, Abraham, Moses?" I asked. "Moses," she replied. "From the liver Bible." "The liver Bible? You mean the Living Bible." "Yes, Mommy. The Livin' Bible."

After our morning run, A is sitting in her carseat singing Veggie Tales, when she stops, and says, "You're huge, mommy." "I'm huge?" Her response, "That's okay. I like my big mommy." Later that day, though, out of the blue, she says, "You're not huge anymore, mommy."

Later that day, she told a clerk at Wal-mart that she was a "hoot." I tried to exlpain that she meant she was funny but realized that probably wasn't much better, so I finally just assured her that it was not an insult but a compliment.

I can't wait to hear what she'll come up with next!
