The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy:  I want to make hot chocolate.**
Sarah:  How do you make hot chocolate?**
Dorothy:  Pour the milk in a cup.  Stir it.  Put in chocolate and stir it.  Put in the sugar and stir it.  Put it in the microwave.  Beep beep beep the microwave.

Dorothy had reported on Tuesday that some kids at school were saying things to her like "No you can't play with that toy", etc.**
On Thursday, I sent her off to school and reminded her that some kids would be happy today, and kind, and some will be grumpy and grouchy.**
She replied, "I will hug the grumpy kids.  I will hug them."

We have a plastic cheese grater that we let Dorothy use.  Taking out the cheese for her to grate, Dad referred to the "sharp cheddar cheese" and Dorothy corrected him to let him know that "It is not sharp.  You will not hurt your finger."

Jumping on a bed with Mary Claire, in June:  "This is the best Halloween party ever!"

Brian began playing a contemplative piece on the piano.  In three progressive motions Dorothy lowered her head to her chin and said, "I'm getting sadder."

About topiary dolphins in a garden:  "Look at those tree seals!"

The Sunday Funnies

Sarah:  Oh, your cup broke a little when you dropped it.**
Dorothy:  Maybe put some cream and a band-aid on it.

Sarah:  What was that sound?  Oh, no!  You tore the page of the book?  We don't tear pages of books!  Gram gave you that book.  What would she say if she knew you did that?**
Dorothy (with wide eyes):  Hide it.  Hide it.  Hide it.

Sarah:  You can put on two different, mis-matched socks for fun.**
Dorothy (puts on socks):  Look!  I made a mix-match!

Dorothy was wrapping her Toto stuffed dog in a blanket and presenting it to Mom as a gift:  You'll never guess what's in here.**
Sarah:  Let's see...it wiggles, and it barks, and it pants...**
Dorothy:  No, it's a dog.  It doesn't wear pants.

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy walked in the room to see me balling-up the Play-doh spaghetti she had made in her fun factory:**
No!  Don't make the spaghetti round and round!

Dorothy, pointing to a picture of a puppy in a book:  I named him "Noodle".**
Mom:  Noodle, that's cute.  Why did you name him Noodle?**
Dorothy:  Because he didn't have a name.

Running down the street with her hair blowing behind her:  Hey, my hair is following me!

Touching Brian's face:  Daddy, you need to shave your cheeks.

Brian, to Sarah:  Did you see I bought a pizza at the grocery store?**
Sarah, to Dorothy:  If you come wash your hands, you can have some of these grapes.**
Dorothy:  But Daddy said I could eat a crispy pizza now with my dirty hands.
