"Anna braids"

The Sunday Funnies

We were reading nursery rhymes --
Sarah:
  Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie,
  Kissed the girls and made them cry.
  When the boys came out to play,
  Georgie Porgie ran away.
Dorothy:  Why did he do that?
Sarah:  That Georgie, I'll tell you...
Dorothy:  ...Not to do that!

Dorothy, after a playdate:  "Mom & Dad, I like playing with you, but I like playing with my friends even more."

Dorothy:  When I have a little one, and she says she is not tired, I will say "I'll bring you some more toys to bed."

Dorothy heard Beyonce's Single Ladies, then asked, "Why they say if you like something you put a ring on it?"

Regarding truth-telling--
Sarah:  Did you go potty?
Dorothy:  Yes.
Sarah:  Really?
Dorothy:  I'm proving it.
Sarah:  What does that mean?
Dorothy:  I'm telling you what really happened.

Dorothy:  When are they going to bring our dessert?
Sarah:  Soon.  The waitress will bring you a bowl of ice cream.
Dorothy:  Why is it taking so long?
Sarah:  They are cooking it now.
Dorothy:  Why do they cook ice cream here?

The Sunday Funnies

I was tickling Dorothy and blowing on her belly.
She said, "Never ever ever do that again!"
I said, "Really?  You never want me to do that again?"
She said, "Don't do it again until tomorrow."
I said, "Okay."
She said, "Let's pretend that it's tomorrow."

Dorothy has been bending the truth lately.  This includes:

• I didn't lick the pretzels.  These just came out of the bag with no salt on them.
• I used the potty.
• I didn't throw the toy.  It rolled over there all by itself.

Dorothy learns British words from Peppa Pig, and then teaches me.  Most recently, she said, "They call training wheels 'stabilizers'.  We call them 'training wheels' but 'stabilizers' is the real name."

Dorothy took a look at her cartoon character bike helmet, inside and out, and said, "The inside is not cute at all."

Dorothy's audio book mentioned a boysenberry, and she asked me what it was.  Then she asked, "Is there a girlsenberry?"

Dorothy has imaginary willpower that kicks in after two days:  if she wants something, like toys in bed, and I say no, she says, "I just want them tonight, and I want them tomorrow night, and after that I don't want them."

We made a noise shaker by putting beans and rice into a container and taping the top closed.  When Brian came home, Dorothy was eager to show it to him.  She said, "Guess what we put inside.  I'll give you a clue.  It's something that's lines and dots."

Sarah:  What would you do if the Wicked Witch was after you?
Dorothy:  I'd throw something sharp at her.
Sarah:  Really?  I'd throw water at her.
Dorothy:  I'd throw a knife at her.

Dorothy's swim teacher suggested that I get her a nose plug.  Dorothy asked, "Is it like a pacifier, but with two bumps?"
