The Sunday Funnies
Gram bought Dorothy some light-up tennis shoes. Dorothy and I were at the movies, and she kicked her feet on the seat to light them up three or four times in the dark. I leaned over to ask her not to do that, and she informed me, "I'm trying to look for my toy that I dropped."
I was playing music, and when I came back into the room, Dorothy was standing absolutely frozen by the speaker. She had her brow furrowed and she seemed thunderstruck. Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn's After the Fire is Gone was playing. I said, "Dorothy, what's the matter?" She said, "I love this song."
Regarding her dresser: "I can't remember which drawer has my socks, because the drawers all look just the same."
Every day or so Dorothy's toe will "snap" (like cracking your knuckles). We all think this is funny and she points it out. Yesterday, I was asking her to clean, and she said, "My toe snapped! My toe is saying, 'Mom, you pick up the toys.'" I said, "Oh, your toe is talking to you now?" and she said, "No, my toe is talking to you!"
We were visiting our friends Megan & John who have a toddler and a baby. Dorothy pulled me down to her level and said firmly, "Follow me to the living room." When we got there, she climbed up on the couch, stretched out her arms, and said, "I want to hold the baby."

The Sunday Funnies
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:
