I've mentioned before that Sunny. Talks. All. The. Time. and I have to admit, I don't always listen to what she's saying, mostly because my ears are bleeding. Every so often she realizes this and attempts to engage me in her chatter. This is this morning's exchange:
As she holds rice krispies up to her mouth "You say, 'aren't you going to offer some to our guests?' Mommy."
"Aren't you going to offer some to our guests?"
She reaches out and offers the rice krispies to me.
"No thanks, Sunny, you know I'm allergic, I can't eat those."
"Then you say, 'No thanks, bubble-butt, it's all yours.'"

This morning she was sitting on our bed as BigDaddyFish got dressed, playing with his Legos (yes, HIS Legos. I am the only family member without my own Legos). I have to brag a little about what she made.
"This is a trashcan in the kitchen."
"This is a couch with lots of stages for people to sit on."
"This is a bed for sleeping."
"This is a little man in a surgery bed, and here's his hat. He can't wear his hat in surgery."
"Nice boat, Sunny." "Thanks! It goes in the water."
Not too shabby for a just-turned-4 year old. Who am I kidding - SURGERY BED? Mind you, she's never had surgery, and the only thing she knows about surgery is my c-sections. She's never seen an actual surgery. How the heck does she know you don't wear your hat during surgery? For the record, she didn't follow a model or directions of any kind for these, they are off the top of her scary little brain.
Sometimes I wonder if she's really my kid. You know, if it wasn't for the whole looks-just-like-my-mother thing.
Aren't they amazing (when you can past the whole ears bleeding thing *winks*)?
She sounds too cute, I love the bubble butt thing, that would be something my kids would say to me :)
