We were playing a card game where the numbers have cute vegetable faces on them, and Brian laid down a card and said, "There's crazy green onion guy." Dorothy said right away, "I believe that's pronounced 'celery.'"
Dorothy refused to eat the foods we had prepared for her dinner, and we were fussing about it at length. Eventually, Dorothy started talking in a funny voice, and added, "Will a bunch of laughs get you over my dinner thing?"
I pointed out a scar on Dorothy's knee, and she said plaintively, "I miss having my normal knee."
Dorothy heard the music of the ice cream truck in the neighborhood. We grabbed shoes and Dorothy, Willa, and I started running through the streets on a truck hunt. Dorothy, excited, exclaimed, "I'd recognize that music anywhere!"
Dorothy was feeding a miniature pony at a farm, and ran to me excitedly and said, "Mom, that horse has braces!"
With frequency, Dorothy has been misusing the phrase "You can't judge a book by its cover." For example, she mentioned a story about a wolf and a rabbit, and I said that it was a fox and a rabbit, and she said, "Oh well, you can't judge a book by its cover. I guess we'll have to watch it again and see."
Brian and Dorothy were watching the Swedish Chef on the Muppets, and when he took off his glasses, his normal bushy eyebrows showed. Dorothy said, "Look, his eyes are mustaches!"
