LILY-ISMS: November 2021 edition

Those little brutes!
Referring to the dwarfs in The Last Battle.

I made up a story called "The Last Dandelion."

The more we drink tea, the more Narnia will seem real.
I often serve hot tea while we do our read-alouds.

I must take Trumpkin up. She's my beloved.

Airplane fins : wings

GO DUKE! GO DUKE! We're good fans.

Comes in from playing outside
Did you miss me?

I was scared about monsters coming, so I thought about God to make me feel better. And I made up a song! It's called Cats.

Hallie is so fond of this toy.

I never want you to get old, guys.
To Erin and Brad

Erin: Did you lose Trumpkin?
Lily: Yeah...I just let her wander around.
Free-range stuffed cat...

Look! I got books from our pretend library. Dinosaurs for me and Pete the Cat for Trumpkin.

Setting up a Stick Shop

Trumpkin loves her friends MADLY.

Apropos of nothing:
Mommy, choose your moments!

Here... Scavenge over there.
Talking to Hallie who was, in fact, scavenging crumbs from the floor.

Hallie loves my pleasant smile.

Daddy is going more soonier than us.

Look, it's our honorary Trumpkin.

Dutch tape : Scotch tape

Look at that thing! It's on the right or the left!

Why was 7 hungry for 8? Because 8, 9, 10!
Kids learning jokes is a whole thing.

Did Elphie know Bo was the perfect girl?
Elphie is Amiee's cat. Lily was asking about when Amiee adopted Elphie.

Where is Poppy, in the name of Aslan??

Why do Alabama people call it a "trash panda" when it's a raccoon?
Huntsville's minor league baseball team is the Huntsville Trash Pandas.

Hanging out with a raccoon... Hanging out with a snowman... Get ornaments... It's a great day to be alive.
Mom and Dad took us to a Christmas market at the baseball stadium. There were people in trash panda and snowman costumes.

We wanted to pet the pony. We were tempted, but the rules are no.

Asking my mom about preparing the Thanksgiving turkey.
Did you squish his butt?
NOTE: she is NOT allowed to use that word. I have no idea why she said it.

Is the rain upon us?

I've been chewing this gum for a while now. It's retired its taste.

Guys, can my sisters and I play in the room with the door closed and the lights off? Don't be suspicious.

Sometimes I can... Speak dog.

Erin: Lily, I love how much you love animals.
Lily: And how clever I am? And how I think hard?

With breaking voice, as we left Huntsville to return home
I didn't let myself cry at Nana and Poppy's. I holded it back.
Began crying but started baa-ing with her stuffed goat so as to stop crying

Did you know Trumpkin snores?

Instead of liking the Christ candle, we should love it on Christmas!
Like v light

Mommy, will you help me put socks on my ears?
