May munchkin talk

G: “Mom, I missed my dream because it was fun and it was nice! It was about a nice cow and a nice moose and a nice lion and a nice sheep but they didn’t fight and the sheep was a princess in the castle.” –May 2

Sp: “Mom! As soon as you move, you just want to live in your old house again… I miss both houses I’ve lived in—and the womb.” –May 3

Sp: “I wanna get a limo, mama. Cause we’re gonna have 20 children—if they’re all good—and we can’t fit them all in this car.” –May 4

Golden, singing to Pippa:

“I will give you milk

And I will use your brain

And you are faith-doodle-bug

And you are called blubbery

You can lead the way…” –May 4

G: “Mommy, I can’t move my arms cause my armpits hurt.” –May 4

Sp: “Mommy, why is Daddy sleeping in the morning?”

Me: “Because he goes to bed late and gets up early. He takes naps cause he doesn’t sleep that much at night.”

Sp: “So…he’s like animals?” –May 8

Me: “These fleas are evil!”

G: “And you hate them.”

Sp: “Well, we don’t like the fleas, but they are God’s creation.”

Me: “Yes, they are. I don’t know why He made fleas though.”

Sp: “Because He’s God and sometimes He has secrets.” –May 8

G, waving a piece of paper: “I’ve got good news! It’s here in my hand!”

Me: “Oh good! What’s the good news?”

G: “Our house is on fire—and we have to run away to a castle.” –May 9

Golden, commenting on a nice playground: “No wild things here—no bobcats or robbers.” –May 12

G: “Mom, I wanna be big right now and go up to heaven and have fun. I can’t wait to see if it’s beautiful.” –May 12

 (Talking to my husband about onomatopoeia)

Me: “It’s a word that sounds like the sound it describes.”

T: “Like what?”

Me: “Tinkle. Or crackle.”

T: “What about pee?”

Me: “No… but poop is probably one.” (Thomas laughing at this point)

T: “What about butt?”

Me: “Butts don’t make sounds.”

(both laughing suuuuuuuuper hard)

T (crying-laughing): “Yes they doooooooo!” –May 18

G: “Mom, when you say ‘I doubt it,’ it means that I want to eat a cloud.” –May 12
