The Sunday Funnies
We were taking a walk and a dog followed us. Dorothy said to the dog, "Go back home. You can't come with us. And we don't even like dogs."
Sarah: Dorothy, do you want to wear this shirt to school today?
Dorothy: No, I want to wear a dress so I can make a sand baby.
Aunt Jeanne gave Dorothy two Disney washcloths and we sewed them into a pillow. Dorothy brought the pillow to school on Friday for show-and-tell. I asked, "How was show-and-tell?" Dorothy said, "It was good. I said, 'I sewed this pillow last night out of washcloths', and Ms. Laurie said, 'Did you hear that, class? Dorothy had a good idea. She sewed two washcloths together to make a pillow.'"

Party piñata
It was not all fun and games when Dorothy assessed the line, realized that she might not get a turn, and burst into tears.

The only donut Dorothy knows is strawberry icing with sprinkles
After Saturday night Mass Dorothy was disappointed that there were no donut holes. I told her we could go to church again the next morning if she wanted a donut hole. She agreed. This was so pathetic that we took her straight to Krispy Kreme.

The Sunday Funnies
Recently I'll ask Dorothy a simple question, and she'll give me a lengthy answer. It goes like this:
Me: Dorothy, do you want milk?
Dorothy: If I go like this, the answer is yes (she'll stamp her foot once, or wave her arm over her head, or similar). If I go like this, the answer is no (she'll stamp her foot twice, or wave her arm in front of her belly, or the like).
Then she will choose one of the motion options for me to interpret her answer.
We listen to audio stories that are often folk tales and origin stories. After each fantastical story, Dorothy will ask me, "That's not real, right?" I told her, "No, these are folk tales. The stories are pretend but some of the things they are talking about, like the sun and the ocean, are real." Dorothy responded, "They should be called fake tales."
