The Sunday Funnies
Dorothy loves listening to a podcast for kids called Ear Snacks. Its hosts are Andrew and Polly. One episode mentions that their audience listens to episodes again and again, which is true for Dorothy.
Dorothy asked, "Since kids listen to the episodes again and again, don't Andrew and Polly get tired of doing it again and again?"
...
I explained that Andrew and Polly record the episode once and then kids listen to the recordings multiple times. So Dorothy asked me, "Then how do Andrew and Polly know that kids listen again and again?"

The Sunday Funnies
Dorothy was trying to lick me; I told her not to. She said, "Can I lick your lips?" I said no. She countered, "But you lick your lips."
An ongoing conflict between Dorothy and her friend Willa involves which child gets to play with the pink and/or blue item -- markers, blocks, whatever. Dorothy found a toy I had set aside which includes 4 paper princesses, and I told her that she and Willa can play with it when they stop fighting over the toys, because I was afraid the paper princesses might tear. Dorothy posed a solution: "Just put my name on the pink and blue ones, and put Willa's name on the other two."
Dorothy was singing "Away in a Manger" while playing with a toy nativity scene, and she paused to tell us, "Jesus likes to hear songs about himself."

The Sunday Funnies
Dorothy: Santa can't be watching 'cause Santa's in the mall.
Dorothy has offered some tempting threats lately. Yesterday she said, "Mom, if you do not give me what I want, you cannot play with me tomorrow." I said, "You are going to need to work on your threats." So she added, "Please."
We were listening to Mr. Tambourine Man and Dorothy said, "It's funny that he says 'Play a song for me', and he is playing a song!"
When Dorothy is cutting up I will sometimes call her "Mischief Dorothy". She confessed to me as I was tucking her in bed, "Mom, Mischief Dorothy is not real. I was acting like Mischief Dorothy. But it was me the whole time."
Dorothy was enjoying a bowl of red beans and rice when she spied a pepper and held it up on her fork: "Mine has a green plop yucky!"
Sarah: So you had lots of growing pains last night, huh?
Dorothy: Will you measure me?
With some frequency Dorothy tells me, "Even though I turned 4, I still feel 3."
Sarah: Dorothy, go back to bed, put your head on your pillow, and close your eyes.
Dorothy: I try to close my eyes, but they keep opening up again!
