The Sunday Funnies
Several of Dorothy's friends from her old preschool go to a school called Ellis, which comes up occasionally. Yesterday Dorothy asked, "Rye and Ellana both go to that school together...I think it's LSU?"
Dorothy was rushing to draw a goodbye picture for her grandparents. It was taking a while and I took a peek. Her blue construction paper was cut-up into tiny confetti. I asked what she was going to do with the confetti. "I couldn't draw a picture of Grandma and me very goodly," she said, "so I cut it up. Now I need a whole new idea."
Dorothy asked why my Cabbage Patch doll is called a "preemie". I gave her a quick explanation about premature babies. Then, with enthusiastic understanding, she said, "Oh, I know why this baby is a preemie. This baby got picked too early from the cabbage patch."
Uncle Daniel asked Dorothy about her teacher's behavior management system, and inquired what happens if you get on the worst colors, orange and red. Dorothy answered, "The consequence is that you get a note sent home to your mom and dad so that they can think of a better consequence."

The Willa Funnies
Today is our one year anniversary of spending afternoons with Willa! In honor of the day, I present The Willa Funnies:
Looking at the deep end of the pool, Willa asked, "When are we going to get to jump off that surfboard?"
The girls ran across the grass and stopped short before the street. "That was great," I said, "and look, you're still alive!" "Heaven is a wonderful place," Willa replied.
"Willa, I like your new shoes. When you go home tonight, I want you to count how many pairs of shoes you have, and let me know," I said. "I can't count that high," admitted Willa.
Willa was playing with a cookie cutter shaped like the State of Georgia. "Nice State of Georgia," I said. "It's not the State of Georgia, it's a kitty cat," Willa said. "I see how it looks like a kitty cat," I said, "but really it's the State of Georgia." "The State of Georgia just said 'meow,'" Willa replied.
"I'm either allergic to something or something bit me," I said, "because since we were kneeling in the grass, my legs feel like they're on fire."
"Perhaps a fire ant bit you," Dorothy offered.
"Or a little alligator," Willa added.
Willa was excited to eat some Cheerios that she brought home from school on Halloween. It was surprising she was making such a big deal about it, until she pulled from her backpack a bag of Oreos.
I introduced Dorothy and Willa to another mom at the playground. "Willa?" the mom asked. "W-i-l-l-a?" Willa squealed, "How does she know how to spell my name?!"
We watched The Lion King and Willa said that she likes "the little lion Zumba".
