Olivia, hearing sirens: What are the police officers for?
Me: I'm not sure.
Gretchen: They're probably to hang up hangers.
Gretchen: What is Lent?
Olivia: Lent is a period of sadness and waiting.
Olivia: You should not ask me to do hard things, then I would listen better.
Gretchen: I'm Gretchen Bernice Barhorst, just a human.
Me, hearing Olivia berating her sisters: Olivia, please speak nicely.
Olivia: But I'm being the mommy.
Kaitlyn, to Bryan in a sweet voice: Daddy, movie please?
Bryan, to me: How do I say no to that?
Me: Just say, "No, Kaitlyn, no movie right now."
Kaitlyn, to me in an angry voice: No! Not talking you! Talking Daddy!
Kaitlyn, to Bryan in a sweet voice: Daddy, please Barney?
Me: I love you.
Gretchen: Well, I love Daddy best.
Bryan: Gretchen, it's not very nice to say that.
Gretchen: But I love everybody and everything!
Gretchen: When I smelled this tag it feeled yucky.
Gretchen: Olivia can you teach me to read?
Olivia: Yes!
*Relevant side note: Olivia does not know how to read.*
Me: Olivia, you need to get dressed.
*Olivia hears nothing*
Bryan: Girls, time for lunch.
*Girls are too busy playing to listen*
Me: Who's going to help me clean the playroom?
*crickets*
Bryan, in a whisper: Want to let them watch a movie?

*TV room couch is suddenly overrun with girls*
Olivia: Is Kaitlyn two already?
