!f you have a son, can we name him Samuel Whiskers?
No to both.
Lily to Nana: Nana, you know people get us confused all the time. Because we look so much alike. Because we both have curls.
This is not accurate, but we love it anyway.
Trumpkin always says, " The messier the mess, the more you have to clean up!"
Trumpkin is very wise.
Lily: What is Quidditch?
Erin: It's a game they play in Harry Potter. We don't have it in real life.
Lily: We should make it.
Giant Rufflebuffin lives in our room. He can switch the fan for Daddy.
We had just read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, thus the giant. Brad had been going around and changing the directions of the ceiling fan blades, thus putting the giant to work on the fans.
Background: when I was a kid and had to eat something I didn't like, I, like most kids, tried to chew it just on my front teeth, in an attempt to avoid tasting it. At some point, I named it the Chipmunk Chew (although, in hindsight, it probably should have been the Beaver Chew), and it stuck. Mom told Claire about it a while back, and she and Lily have put it to good use. Except- Lily can't usually remember what I called it.
Lily: I'm using the Gopher Chew.
Erin: Chipmunk Chew.
Lily: Gopher Chew!
Erin: I named it when I was a child. It's the Chipmunk Chew.
Lily: YOU named the Gopher Chew??
We're pretending we're at our house, but actually we're at church!
These are the kinds of confusing situations that arise after a Year At Home.
I'm sorry I'm a slow-dy cat.
No, Brynnie. The one with the bow is Minnie and the one with none bow is Mickey.
Can I bat at the eggs?
Beat
Playing with a Bo Peep doll from Toy Story (a toy with a sound box), and the doll introduces herself as "Hi, I'm Bo:"
Lily: Bo? We already have a Bo in this family.
We call my sister Bo. Her actual name is Amiee.
Claire: I taught her that.
Lily: I didn't need any taught-ing. I figured it out myself!
After our birthday outing to the cat cafe:
I always DREAMED about seeing real kitty cats, and my dream came true!
Blows out birthday candles
I wish for a cat and a dog and three dragons!
Erin (to Brad who was tickling Brynna): Brad, stop making her squeal.
Lily: Brad T. Boswell!
It's going to be something adoring!
Adoring : Adorable
Claire smells like bug-screen.
Got a scrape
I cracked open a little bit of my body.
I wish Brynnie was a big-year-old.
Helping make lunch
Claire lost tooth
This was A GREAT success!
My work done is here.
