The Sunday Funnies

I offered Dorothy a waffle cut into strips.  She said, "I want a big circle waffle with a big circle ploop."  That's shorthand for syrup, I guess.

I'll be sad when Dorothy stops saying "Yet me sow you sumpin'" and starts to say "Let me show you something."

I told Dorothy that sometimes I hear sirens from fire trucks that pass our house.  She said that she does not hear them.
I said, "The next time I hear one, I will point it out to you."
She said, "How can you point out a sound?"

Dorothy was sleeping soundly and I went into her room to wake her.  She stirred and yawned and said, "I stayed awake all night."  I assumed sleepy confusion and I said, "I know, you slept all night long!"  She said, "No.  I stayed awake all night long."

We read a Beauty and the Beast story, and Dorothy got excited about the little teacup and said, "Chip couldn't go to sleep because his music box was broken, and I couldn't go to sleep because I don't like to sleep!"

The Sunday Funnies

I was meeting someone and we were introducing ourselves and chit-chatting for a while.  Dorothy pulled my hand and whispered in my ear, "Say something about me."

We love the book Blueberries for Sal.  We picked blueberries from our own bushes and Dorothy dropped them into her own tin pail.  The she asked, "Why does little Sal's blueberries go 'kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk', but mine only go "kuplunk, kuplunk, kuplunk?"

Dorothy asked me questions about spit.  I gave a long, on-the-spot, probably made-up answer.  She responded, "How do you know so much about bodies?"

Dorothy did something wrong and I told her, "I don't think so, Mister."  She replied, "You mean 'Misses'."

I'll be sorry when Dorothy stops saying "exposed to" when she means "supposed to".

Blue pigtails time

I used a blue hairspray on Dorothy just for fun.  She admired herself in the mirror, pointed her finger at the part in her hair, and said, "Look, you kind of sprayed my spine."

The Sunday Funnies: "The Princess and the Frog" Edition

I was tucking Dorothy into bed, and I asked her, "What will you think about while you're going to sleep?"
"Princess stories," she replied.
"Do you know what princesses think about while they're going to sleep?  They think about Dorothy Dean in Savannah."
"Really?" she asked.
"I'm just joking," I said.
"What do they really think about?"
"They think about Prince Charming, I guess."
"Well," said Dorothy, "one thinks about opening a restaurant, and the rest think about Prince Charming."
