I handed Dorothy a cup and she put it in her carseat's cup holder.  "Perfect fit!" she said.  I said, "I guess the cup was the same size as the cup holder."  And Dorothy countered, "They're not the same size.  If they were exactly the same size it wouldn't fit."

Dorothy wanted a treat to eat before bed.  She said, "Can I have a treat?  Just a little night time bribe?"

Uncle Daniel texted me a picture of a toy he found at his house, and asked if it was Dorothy's.  I thought it was hers, and I showed it to Dorothy and asked, "Is this your My Little Pony comb?"  She answered, "I think so.  It is the same shape and color as mine."

The Sunday Funnies

In the evening Dorothy asked me to set-up her LOL dolls as a wake-up surprise.  I didn't do it.  The next morning, she stomped into my room with messy hair, a furrowed brow, and a grumpy voice, and demanded, "Set up my LOL dolls!  I'm going back to sleep!"

Something we were listening to asked, "Can you name a food that's bad for you?"  I (being socialized) thought, "ice cream"; Dorothy said, "raw eggs".

Dorothy's teacher has a useful saying.  Dorothy repeated it one day (very singsong):  "You get what you get and you don't pitch a fit".  I added, "Just like Miss Jill says."  Dorothy added, "But she says it more sternly."

Dorothy had a stomach bug this week which wiped her out.  On the first day I carried her around with no objections, but she is usually very skittish about being picked-up.  On the second day, when Dorothy was feeling a bit better but still weak, I offered to carry her.  She pointed across the room and said, "Get me that doll.  I will show you how I want to be picked up."

We were setting-up Legos that kept crashing.  Dorothy was loving it.  At one point she said, "I just love having this silly time.  We collapse into laughter and hugging...kind of!"  [We were laughing, but there wasn't any hugging.  I wonder where she heard this!]

Sprinkler fun

Dorothy asked me if "they had sprinklers" when I was a little girl.

Dorothy was wearing her new favorite outfit and asked me, "Don't I look like a teenager?"  It is a sleeveless tank top with lace cut-outs on the back and bright pink ruffled shorts.  I asked her, "What part looks most like a teenager?"  She pointed to her chest and said, "The strawberry."

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
