The Sunday Funnies

I was meeting someone and we were introducing ourselves and chit-chatting for a while.  Dorothy pulled my hand and whispered in my ear, "Say something about me."

We love the book Blueberries for Sal.  We picked blueberries from our own bushes and Dorothy dropped them into her own tin pail.  The she asked, "Why does little Sal's blueberries go 'kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk', but mine only go "kuplunk, kuplunk, kuplunk?"

Dorothy asked me questions about spit.  I gave a long, on-the-spot, probably made-up answer.  She responded, "How do you know so much about bodies?"

Dorothy did something wrong and I told her, "I don't think so, Mister."  She replied, "You mean 'Misses'."

I'll be sorry when Dorothy stops saying "exposed to" when she means "supposed to".

Blue pigtails time

I used a blue hairspray on Dorothy just for fun.  She admired herself in the mirror, pointed her finger at the part in her hair, and said, "Look, you kind of sprayed my spine."

The Sunday Funnies: "The Princess and the Frog" Edition

I was tucking Dorothy into bed, and I asked her, "What will you think about while you're going to sleep?"
"Princess stories," she replied.
"Do you know what princesses think about while they're going to sleep?  They think about Dorothy Dean in Savannah."
"Really?" she asked.
"I'm just joking," I said.
"What do they really think about?"
"They think about Prince Charming, I guess."
"Well," said Dorothy, "one thinks about opening a restaurant, and the rest think about Prince Charming."

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy loves activity books.  We do some activities and skip others which require spelling.  Dorothy asked, "So what is spelling all about?"

Dorothy put 10 hairclips in her hair but had to use a mirror to see them.  She then said, "If only my arm hair was longer, I could put clips in it and look at them."

Lately Dorothy's fits are frequent and powerful.  Her thoughts are totally transparent, though.  She'll scream, "I want to do what I want to do!"  Or "Come here so I can hit you!"  During her meltdown at the zoo, she asked for her sippy cup so she could throw it.  She asked for it again.  I said, "Are you going to drink from your cup?  What are you going to do with it?" and she screamed back, "Give it to me!  I'll show you!"
