Willa turned 6 yesterday, and she has been a part of our lives for over 2 years now. I've been writing down the hilarious things she says and in her honor I present The Willa Funnies:
Our Disney+ trial had expired, and later Willa asked, "Why your Disney + exploded?"
Willa slipped on the playground equipment. I checked on her and she told me, "My shoes weren't sticky enough."
Willa was listening to the podcast that Dorothy loves, Wow in the World. The hosts are Guy and Mindy. "Who do you like better, Guy or Mindy?" Brian asked Willa. "Mindy, I think," Willa said. "But I haven't seen her body."
With two kindergarteners playing together, you can imagine that I talk a lot about "fairness." Last week Dorothy read the words on the t.v. screen out loud, and Willa offered, "It's sort of fair that Dorothy is reading, because I am getting my ears pierced."
Willa is very excited about getting her ears pierced. She asked if dogs get their ears pierced, then followed-up with, "That was probably in the 90s."
"My eyes are burning," Willa said. "Oh," I said, maybe because of allergies?" "Maybe because I've not been blinking," she said.
Willa was playing pretend, and she told me she has a boyfriend. "Does your boyfriend drive a fast car?" I asked. "Yes, it has 27 wheels!" she answered.
Our extra bedroom is the guest room; so Willa referred to our extra table in the dining room as "the guest table."
Dorothy hosted Willa for a slumber party, and when we were all having fun, I said, "This is the best sleepover I've ever gone to." "Don't you mean "The best sleepover I've ever stayed to?" Willa asked.
At the sleepover, Willa was having trouble sleeping, and I sat on the end of their bed. "Can you stay here until I fall asleep?" Willa asked. "I'll tell you when I'm asleep," she added.
I turned on The Star, an animated story of the birth of Jesus. "The best Christmas movie ever!" I announced. "It's not really a Christmas movie," Willa told me.
