Between my sister and I (my younger sister) we have 8 children. She has 4 daughters and I have 3 sons and a daughter. In order of their arrival....they are 16, 13, 10, 8, 5, 5, 2, 4 months old. It's been a long time so I can't really remember the cute things the boys have said, but lately, the girls, they have been a hoot!
The other morning Breanne (8) woke up a little late and had to jump out of bed and rush to get ready for school. She says to my sister, "Mom, I am a little disney...I think I got up too fast". My sister, the woman who has 4 children and a bladder to prove it, almost peed her pants she was laughing so hard. Of course she nicely corrected her and told her she felt dizzy....not disney.
On or around the same day one of her other daughters, Kaylee (2) was watching a PBS show (Word World). My sis was in the kitchen cleaning (what else is new?) when Kaylee came in and said, "I am not afraid of the yogurt". My sister questioned, "Huh?" and Kaylee repeated, "I am not afraid of the yogurt". Bren just laughed and said, "me either, yogurt isn't very scary at all". Kaylee wanders off in to the living room to finish watching her program. All of a sudden Bren hears her saying, "I am not afraid of the yogurt, I am not afraid of the yogurt, I am not afraid of the yogurt". Curious, Bren runs in to see what she is talking about. Sure enough, right there on the TV is an OGRE! She was afraid of the Ogre on the television show....
Then, a few days ago Abby was sitting next to me on the couch, we were watching tv (probably Forensic Files or Cold Case Files.....her 2 favorite shows). She was shoveling potato chips into her mouth...really enjoying them when she pipes up with, "I am soooo allergic to these...I LOVE them sooo much". I choked on my Pepsi laughing at her! I gently explained that she was "addicted" to them, not allergic. The fact that she says she is addicted to them would have been funny in and of itself....but the whole "allergic" thing made it hysterical.
And since I am putting this all down, because neither my sister or I will ever remember these funny little things, I want to remember a couple more funny things Abby has said. Last year, or a year and a half ago, Abby dislocated her elbow at the park. From what I hear, it is quite painful. We rushed her up to the pediatric ER (my pediatrician's office was closed...we would have went there first) where a nurse quickly (right in the hallway) popped it back in, gave her a Popsicle and sent us on our way. For a few months after, every time she bumped her elbow she would cry and say she "allocated" her elbow again (she was very fearful)....... And of course when she got conjunctivitis recently she went around telling people, "don't touch my face because I have gingivitis".
