Olivia, holding a toothbrush with the wrong end between her front teeth: It's like I'm a talented rabbit.
Kaitlyn: I get dressed and watch a movie and eat lunch.
Bryan: She has plans for the day.
Kaitlyn: Well, I need to watch a movie.
Bryan: You need to watch a movie?
Kaitlyn: I need to watch a movie Sofia.
Bryan: You have to watch a movie? What will happen if you don't?
Kaitlyn: I need to watch Sofia.
Bryan: But do you have to watch a movie?
Kaitlyn, pointing at her dress: Well, look at Elsa!
Bryan: That's your most compelling argument so far.
Kaitlyn: She's pretty!
Bryan: Elsa is pretty.
Kaitlyn, pointing at an icon: That's the Jesus!
Bryan: That's Jesus.
Kaitlyn, bouncing on the bed: That's mommy's bed.
Bryan: Yes.
Kaitlyn: So, I watch a movie on the couch!
Olivia: That was when we were all here but we did not have Matthias born yet.
Kaitlyn: She needs her pacifier.
Me: She's a he.
Kaitlyn: No, she's a Fias.
Gretchen: Olivia has to turn on the light.
Me: Why does Olivia have to turn on the light?
Gretchen: Because I didn't.
Me, absent mindedly singing: Bees will buzz, cantaloupe, dandelion fuzz...
Bryan: Did you say cantaloupe?
Me: Yeah.
Bryan: Cantaloupe dandelion fuzz?! Are you serious?
Me: Those aren't the words?
Bryan: Kids will blow dandelion fuzz.
Me: Really? Bees will buzz, cantaloupe, dandelion fuzz... That's not right?
Bryan: No! What is cantaloupe dandelion fuzz?
Me: It's a list of summery things. Like in The Sound of Music: Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...
Bryan: I demand that you put this in your sound bites. Cantaloupe dandelions.
Me: It fits!
Me: You're out of luck, toots.*
Gretchen: I'm not a toots. I'm just a human and a Gretchen.
*I looked up toots, and one definition I found is as follows:
A term of endearment, roughly equivalent to babe, sweetie, or honey. Note: Only applicable if you live in a black and white movie.
Babysitter: Is Gretchen usually particular?
Me: Yes.
Babysitter: Very, very particular?
Me: Welcome to my life.
Olivia: Mommy, is 100 bigger than all the numbers?
Me: No.
Olivia: Turn off the music so Gretchen can hear you.
Me: *turning off music* No.
Olivia, to Gretchen: She said no.
Gretchen, to Olivia: She just forgot.
Olivia: What is this road called?
Me: Allentown.
Olivia: That's a nice name. Would it be a good name for a daughter?
Me: Not really. Town is a city.
Olivia: But August is a month.
*Note: August is also her cousin.
Olivia: You better hurry up and get there before I am starving.
Bahahaha! Canteloupe dandelion fuzz?! Bahahaha!!!!!
