Dorothy's first movie
I told Dorothy we were on our way to Toy Story and she said, "I usually call that the kids' section."**
When the Disney logo appeared on screen, Dorothy announced, "Hey! That's what happens on our t.v.!"**
The movie begins with the character Andy playing with his toys. 10 minutes into the movie when Andy exits his bedroom, the toys spring to life. Dorothy saw Woody sit up and speak and she yelled in the theater, "He's real!"

The Sunday Funnies
Dorothy, out of the blue: "My teacher says she will think about my ideas."
Dorothy, playing with letter magnets: What sound does this make?**
Sarah: Zzzzzzzz, like zipper.**
Dorothy: No, not like zipper. Like sleep.
Dorothy uses an eraser to "un-rase" her pictures.
Dorothy was spitting, and I said, "Don't do that! What would your teachers say?"**
Dorothy sheepishly replied, "I only do it at home."
Dorothy picked up some ViewMaster reels and asked for the ViewMaster toy so she could "take pictures".
Sarah: Kids don't usually like spicy things.**
Dorothy: I like those spicy colorful things. [Sour Patch Kids!]
A month after eating s'mores on our Kentucky vacation, I offered Dorothy a marshmallow. She said, "This time I don't want to eat them in fire."
At the botanical gardens, Dorothy asked about a sign that had a picture of a snake and a warning. I told her that the sign says there are snakes in nature so you should keep an eye out for them. She said, "If you change the words on the sign, it will say there are no snakes in nature."
Dorothy picked up a wooden alphabet block with the letter D and said, "Look! Dean for Dorothy!"
Dorothy showed me the numbers she punched on a calculator and said, "Here, Mom, I paid the bills for you."

The Sunday Funnies
Dorothy: Mama, I washed my hands! Now I can watch the movie and touch things!
Mom: You need to go back to bed. I will check on you in five minutes.**
Dorothy runs back to her bedroom, and loud fake crying begins.**
Dorothy appears again in the living room: I need a Kleenex to dry up my tears because I am crying.
Dorothy consistently uses the word "simply" to mean "accidentally":**
"I simply tripped on the carpet."**
"You simply gave me blue instead of red."**
"I simply spilled my milk."
Brian turned the kitchen island after mopping the floor, and the next day, Dorothy circled the island, saying, "Now where is that little door that leads to the play-doh?"
Brian was reading a picture book in Spanish. Dorothy told him, "No, say the right words."

The Sunday Funnies: School Edition
Here are a few phrases Dorothy seems to have picked up at school:**
Be quick and quiet!**
This is not a time for fun and games.**
The friends are waiting on you!**
Red light means stop talking.**
When I picked Dorothy up from school, the teacher was reading a book to the children.**
After we left I asked Dorothy: I saw that you were sitting in a chair next to the teacher, and the other kids were sitting in chairs in the circle. What was the story?**
Dorothy: It was about dinosaurs.

"My friends are going to be surprised when they see me in these funny pants."
