The Sunday Funnies


I close Dorothy's bedroom door at night until she says "red light", then I leave it cracked at the suggested width.  As she often does, Dorothy was pretending to be a baby, so just before I left the room I asked, "Do babies say 'red light' or 'gaa gaa goo goo'?"  She said in a high pitch, "They say wed wight in their wittle voice."

With our tacos for dinner I gave Dorothy a spoonful of refried beans; she tasted it, set the spoon down, and declared, "This is not tasty peanut butter."

Dorothy is in her dinosaur stage; she referred to her gummy vitamin shape as a "t'rex-a-saurus" (pronounce the "Tt" sound, not the letter).  Also, it's a "vitamint".

Playing outside:  "I am going to use this watering can and dump out the water to make the flowers happen."

We visited a friend's house to swim.  Dorothy walked into the backyard and saw the many pool noodles and floats in the pool; then she ran back to me, yelling excitedly, "Mama, this pool has all the things!"

Dorothy:  "More cucumber."**
Mom:  "You want MORE cucumber?!"**
Dorothy:  "I want to eat more cucumber until we run out of some cucumber."

"What can you do for me?"  This is Dorothy's prompt whenever she wants me to suggest a snack, a treat, a toy, etc.
