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!
