Dorothy: What do cats eat?
Sarah: Cats who live in the wild eat bugs and mice.
Dorothy: What do they drink?
Sarah: They drink water.
Dorothy: Do they drink milk?
Sarah: Baby kittens drink milk from their moms, but big cats drink water.
Dorothy: Do big cats drink water and milk not from their moms? Is there underground milk?
Sarah: Do you want to go see the Alvin & the Chipmunks movie?
Dorothy: What are their names?
Sarah: Alvin, Simon, & Theodore.
Dorothy: Are they boys or girls?
Sarah: Boys.
Dorothy: Are there any girl chipmunks in the movie?
Sarah: I think there is one.
Dorothy: Is she a mom? Is she a baby? Is she a baby and a mom?
Somehow I ended up telling Dorothy that she can be a boss someday. She said, "I don't want to be a boss. I want to be a doctor."
We were taking a walk after a big rain. Water was still pouring into the sewer, and Dorothy was pulling from at least two previous conversations --
Dorothy: Do you hear the water in the gutter? I love the sound of nature.
We were playing Elsa and Anna. Dorothy said, "Elsa, let's pretend to be Lumpy and Roo."
So we pretended for a while to be Lumpy and Roo (from Winnie the Pooh), until Dorothy's Roo said to me, "Lumpy, have you heard of Elsa and Anna?"

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?
Sarah:

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:
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."
She said, "Never ever ever do that again!"

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.
