Things I Heard

Here are some of the more interesting statements I've heard over the last couple of days:

[Said during dinner when we were talking about her mommy]:

Her: My mommy lies.

Me: What? When has your mommy lied to you?

Her: Uhhhh.................................. [giggle]. I dunno. [long pause, then an "aha" moment]: She lies to Bubba! [Guess she figures we all universally lie to our moms at some time; alas, it's true!]

[Said slowly with incredible enunciation as she came walking out of the bathroom]:

I.... am your MONSTER!!!

[Conversation about what someone won in the Showcase Showdown we watched on The Price is Right - which was a trip to London, Hawaii, and LA]:

Me: He gets to go to the beach, on a plane...

Hannah: And to the airport?!?!?

[Said as she took my hand while we walked Oliver]:

You're my favorite Tia.

[Said when I asked what it means to be adopted]:

Adoption means not having to cry for your mommy because she comes.

[During dinner]:

You know what, Tia? I love God.

[Said while being reminded not to drip her popsicle on my carpet, and as she held it up for me to look at]:

Does it look like it's dripping? [Now, granted, that was pretty full of attitude, but it wasn't said meanly, and it was pretty funny.....]

[After we returned from our walk and entered a darkened living room]:

Could you turn the light on because I don't know how to see.

[While on a walk and giggling to herself]:

Oliver's shadow looks like a lion!

[Said after being disciplined for not listening while in the bathtub because she had been warned that not being a good listener meant no popsicle]:

I love you but can I have a popsicle?
