Things they Say...

Melanie

Thanks to the wonderful world of Barbie entertainment (i.e. movies), Melanie was trying to turn into a princess by balancing a book on her head. I decided to give it a go and put a big copy of "Jane Eyre" on my head and proceeded to walk across the room. She was in awe, and then says to me. "Mom, you are the queen. Queens can walk with books on their head too, you know".

Melanie: "I'm a maid. Maids help the princesses"

Me: "Maids clean up, are you going to clean?"

Melanie: "I changed into a princess... sorry".

Noelle

Me: "Is it Thanksgiving?"

Noelle: "No"

Me: "Then how come I have a little turkey in my house?"

Noelle: "I'm not a turkey. See, I have blonde hair, I'm a Noelle!"

Noelle: "Mom, do you want to go to Hawaii?"

Me: "No, I'm making lunch, maybe later"

Noelle: "Okay, I'm going on this horse" (she sits on a rocking horse) "It's a flying horse and it will get me to Hawaii!"

Before breakfast, Noelle askes me if she can have a cookie.  When I said no, she says "but they are going to go yucky if we don't eat them, so I am being a good helper.  Please, ma ma."
