Smells like...

While cooking some quinoa for lunch today Sunshine regaled me with this gem:

"What is that smell? It smells like... (shrugs) something."

When I Grow Up...

Sunshine: When I grow up I want to be a gymnastics teacher and a swimming teacher.
Me: Oh really?
Sunshine: Yep. I'll teach gymnastics on Saturday and Swimming on Sunday.
Me: What will you do the rest of the week?
Sunshine: Ummm... take a break.

My life as an SNL Skit

Sunshine: Mom, will you hand me my penguin?
Me: No honey, I can't. It's in the way back.
Happy: Your what?
Sunshine: My penguin.
Happy: Your what?
Sunshine: My penguin.
Happy: What?
Sunshine: My PENguin!

Happy: What?
Sunshine: MY PEN-GUIN!

pause

Happy: I want some ice cream.



Merry Christmas!

Owie. Duh.

After Thanksgiving :

Buddy: Mom, my neck really hurts.
Me: Oh yeah, why?
Buddy: I don't know.
Me: Well when did it start hurting?
Buddy: Earlier this evening.
Me: What were you doing?
Buddy: Just playing downstairs with the boys (aka cousins)
Me: What were you playing?
Buddy: Tackle football
Me: In the house?!
Buddy: Well, yeah. It was too cold outside.

Duh.

Birthdays Birth Days

Sunshine: "Why do they call it a birthday?"

Me: "Well because that is the day you were born."

Sunshine: "I was born on my birthday?!! Whoa-ho-ho-ho! That is so weird! And totally cool."

(Disclaimer - I don't have as many stories about Buddy and Happy because they are older and in school all day so I have half of a day with just me and Sunshine.)

Overheard from the backseat of the car...

Sunshine: That't not the color of my beaver!

WTH?

(FYI, just so social services isn't called - she was playing a coloring game on her DS and her sister had been messing with it. Scouts honor.)

Time Out
