Things heard around here this week….

E: Mama, when I am a spider…(pause)
M: Um, yes?
E: When I am a spider, I will wrap bugs up with my web and then I will suck their blood!
M: Um, okay…

(Maybe we need to lay off the Charlotte’s Web, which is our current DVD of choice?)

—————–

A: Oh no! (As she is picking her sprawled little body up off the floor.)
M: You ok, Addie?
A: I ok, Mama. I TUFF!

(And if A. saying that, with her shoulders thrown back looking all proud, doesn’t bring tears to my eyes, I don’t know what will. She is “tough,” but I just want her to need a little cuddling….sometimes!)

——————–

E: Daddy, boys have penises!
D: Yep.
E: And girls have zucchinis!
D: Not exactly…

(I, unfortunately, heard this one secondhand through J.  But I would have paid big bucks to hear him explaining to E. what exactly girls do have, though! Or to see how he kept a straight face after that one…)
