Dorothy's audio book mentioned a boysenberry, and she asked me what it was.  Then she asked, "Is there a girlsenberry?"

Dorothy has imaginary willpower that kicks in after two days:  if she wants something, like toys in bed, and I say no, she says, "I just want them tonight, and I want them tomorrow night, and after that I don't want them."

We made a noise shaker by putting beans and rice into a container and taping the top closed.  When Brian came home, Dorothy was eager to show it to him.  She said, "Guess what we put inside.  I'll give you a clue.  It's something that's lines and dots."

Sarah:  What would you do if the Wicked Witch was after you?
Dorothy:  I'd throw something sharp at her.
Sarah:  Really?  I'd throw water at her.
Dorothy:  I'd throw a knife at her.

Dorothy's swim teacher suggested that I get her a nose plug.  Dorothy asked, "Is it like a pacifier, but with two bumps?"

Birthday party 1 of 3 this week

The Sunday Funnies

We were driving to swim lessons at the YMCA, and I started singing "YMCA".  Dorothy asked, "Did you make that song up?"

Dorothy snapped a plastic egg together and it pinched her finger.  "It bit me!" she said.

I have a swimsuit which I like just fine except for some ugly silver beads on the straps which I ignore.  Dorothy was upset that we went to swim lessons and I didn't dress for the occasion.  I told her, "Next time, you can remind me to wear my swimsuit."  She said, "Your swimsuit is beautiful.  It has those beautiful silver beads."
