More Talking

I've decided that children make grown ups say the weirdest things.  Here are just two phrases I used this past week:


"Callie, we don't put chalk in our rain boots."
"Don't force Toby's eyes open!"

I have yet to repeat these, but I'm looking forward to future phrases to share.  And I can't help but share some more silly talk from Callie (and Ellie makes her debut):


7.30.11
Ellie is tapping her little Fisher Price horse with the toy doctor knee hammer.
Callie: Elliott are you giving your horsey spankings?
Ellie: I'm giving horsey spankings.
Callie: Are you giving your horsey spankings because he disobeyed?
Ellie: Horsey is getting spankings because he disobeyed.  

7.30.11
Callie sees and hears Nate weed eating the front lawn.
Callie: Mommy, Daddy's vacuuming the grass. 


8.2.11
Callie:  Little brother is fire and is going to burn.
Mel: What did you say?
Callie: Brother is fire and he's going to burn.
(Okay we are not watching anymore Disney movies where there is a dragon and fire).
Mel: Why are you saying that Callie?
Callie: because he has fire on him.
Mel: where?
Callie points at the base of his head where he has his red swirly birthmark or "stork bit" 
Me: (thank God, my daughter isn't psychotic)  oh, that's not fire, that's just a birth mark brother has.  It will go away as he gets older. 

8.2.11
Toby is crying.
Me: Elliott will give brother his pacifier, please?
no one moves. Toby is still crying.....
Then Callie runs to Toby and puts his pacifier in his mouth.
Me: Thank you Callie.
Callie: Mom, I'm the rescue. 


8.3.11
Nate: Callie put your dress back on.
Trixie is stepping on Callie's dress.
Callie: But, Trixie's on it!
Daddy: oh, was Trixie trying to wear your dress?
Callie: Daddy, dogs don't wear dresses.

8.4.11
I knock over my tea.
Elliott: Mommy, you made a mess. AWESOME!
(Awesome is her new favorite word and she uses it in all circumstances).
