Funny Things I Say

When I was taking a bath one night I was pretending to make an "owie" on Mommy's hand better. She asked if she was going to be okay and I said, matter-of-factly, "yeah... or you're going to die." Mommy said we had to work on my doctor etiquette.

I love to listen to Mommy's iPod on the way to school. She plays a song and I tell her if I like it or not. Sometimes I tell her when I was a baby I loved that song but I don't anymore. When I find a song I like I tell her to turn it up really loud! One day Mommy got to the song "London Bridge". It starts out with "Oh S*%!" I loved the song and started pretend-snapping my fingers and saying "Oh Sit! Oh Sit! I like that song Mommy!" She turned it off quickly and I asked her to put the "Oh Sit" song back on. She told me they were saying "Ocean" like when we play at the beach with Tay Tay. Then we talked about Tay Tay and the beach and I forgot about the song. (Mommy 1, Toddler 0)

Sometimes I can't do things because I'm not an adult - so I'm working on that. I told Daddy the other day, with a serious voice, "Daddy, I'm trying really hard to be an adult."

I ran up to Daddy at school and said I didn't bite anyone today (which she usually doesn't). Daddy told me good job and I said "we should go get ice cream!"

We were driving home late one night and Syd said she had to go potty. We told her Daddy would take her. She was quiet then told us that Mommy is a lady and Daddy is a boy. We agreed and told her good job. She then again said that Mommy takes her to the bathroom. We said no. Then she laid it out for us. "Daddy is a boy, Mommy is a lady and Sydney is a lady. So Mommy takes me to the bathroom because we are ladies." We couldn't argue with that.

When camping in Yosemite I got up really early in the morning and wanted Mommy to walk around with me. While we were outside Mommy was complaining that it was so cold outside. I said "it's not that cold, Mommy."Mommy and Daddy have taken me to San Francisco several times. To Pier 39, to see Uncle BJ compete in a triathlon, to the Academy of Science. Now whenever they ask what I want to do I yell, "GO! TO! SAN FRANCISCO!" And when we play make believe, we travel to San Francisco. Or Taylor's house.

(by Mommy) When we got home from camping I told Syd to go downstairs and tell Daddy, "I'm here to make sure you're working." After I got out of the shower, she came upstairs and said, "Daddy isn't working, he's just sleeping." Then she leaned back on my bed with her arms out on it and closed her eyes and said, "Look, I'm sleeping just like Daddy".

Mommy asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday. She said, "Um.... probably San Francisco" as I put my head towards my shoulder and nodded yes. (Not surprising... see above.)
