Olivia, covering her ears: Mommy, I am covering my ears to see if you can hear me. Can you hear me?
Gretchen, closing her eyes: Mommy, see if you can hear ME.
Me: I can hear both of you, can you hear me?
Olivia: I don't think so.
Olivia: Mommy, Gretchen is not listening to you.
Me: Olivia, you are not minding your own business.
Olivia: I will mind my own business when Gretchen eats her banana.
Me: Are you all right, Gretch?
Gretchen: No, I am not alright because my belly is feeling well.
Me: Your belly is feeling well?
Gretchen: No, my belly is NOT feeling well because it is dark outside.
Me: Oh.
Gretchen: And when it is dark outside our bellies are not feeling well and we have to go to bed until the monsters come.
Gretchen: Aunt Jacque, are these glasses on backwards or sideways?
Jacque: Those are on upside down.
Olivia: Well, she does it in the movie. She doesn't in the book.
Olivia: Are we at Grandma and Grandpa's yet?
Bryan: No, we are still in Lima.
Olivia: Because we have to get closer still?
Bryan: That's right.
Olivia: I am going to ask about it until we get there. Are we closer are we closer are we closer are we closer are we closer...?
This would not normally be in a Sound Bites post, but the circumstances warrant the addition. The girls were helping me make cookies and we had just added the cocoa powder...
Olivia, peering into the mixing bowl: *gasps, then squeals with delight* Oh, how cute!
Olivia-Barbie: Just a minute, bad guy, I have to show the turtle my shoes.
Gretchen-bad guy: Okay
Olivia-Barbie, to the turtle: Look at my shoes. And did you see my beautiful purse?
Gretchen-bad guy: I like purses! I'm going to be a nice guy.
Gretchen, to Justine: I'm kissing your baby. Babies like kisses.
Me: Gretchen, do you want to wear the blue dress or the Minnie Mouse dress?
Gretchen: The blue dress.
Me: The blue dress?
Gretchen: No, not the blue dress.
Me: Oh, not the blue dress. The Minnie Mouse dress?
Gretchen: No, I want to wear the blue dress.
Me: You want to wear the blue dress.
Gretchen: No! I don't want to wear the blue dress!
Me: Okay, then you're going to wear the Minnie Mouse dress.
Gretchen: I want to wear the BLUE dress.
Me: Blue dress.
Gretchen: No.
Me: Gretchen, are you going to wear the blue dress or the Minnie Mouse dress?
Gretchen: The Minnie Mouse dress.
Me: The Minnie Mouse dress?
Gretchen: Yes.
Me: Okay.
*two minutes later*
Gretchen: I didn't want the Minnie Mouse dress!
Me: Well, you chose the Minnie Mouse dress so you have to wear the Minnie Mouse dress and you don't get to change your mind any more.
*two minutes later*
Gretchen: I changed my mind, I'm wearing the Minnie Mouse dress.
Gretchen, about Walter: I'm going to push him down.
Justine: Don't push him down!
Edward: Edward's not pushing him down.
Gretchen: Well when I push him down then I say sorry fast.
Edward: If we push him down he will cry.
Gretchen: No, he would hit the floor.
Justine: Don't push him down!
Edward: Edward's not pushing him down.
Gretchen: We can just pretend to push him down.
Justine: Don't even pretend to push him down!
Bahahaha! I had to share some of these with Scott...he got a kick out of them, specially the last one :)
