- Out of the mouth of babes: VOL IV -

As we were approaching the stop sign at the edge of our subdivision during a stroller walk: 
"'Dat sign says, 'NO.......WALKIN'.......DOWN.......'DA.......STREET!"


After destroying her room during afternoon quiet time:
Me: "Go pick up your room before Daddy gets home from work."
Harper: "I'm too tired to pick up my room. ...I can pick up a wittle bit of it, but not ALLLLL of it." 

At bedtime:
"Sissy will be a best friend 'da me some day pretty soon when she's a wittle bit older 'cause I wuv Sissy and she wuvs me!"


One evening as Brian was finally walking in the door after working outside all day in the rain at our new house:
"Wet me see if Daddy's Elsa Band-Aid got dirty!"

One morning, in a moment of chaos:
Harper: "Why is your hair messy?"
Me: "That's the way God made it."
Harper: ....."No he 'dint, 'dat's not 'da way he maked it, Mommy..."
 
Later that day, after letting out an obnoxious toot:
Me: "Why is your butt so stinky?"
Harper: "'Dat's 'da way God made it, Mom!"

After a wild driver screeched his wheels and floored it off the line: 
"'DAT boy better slow down or he's gonna get in an ass-ka-dent [accident]! Den 'da police off-sirs will be mad!"


After walking past an open gate to the basement: 
Me: "We're going to have to close this gate from now on when we come up the stairs."
Harper:  "YEAH, 'cuz Sissy is a MOVIN' MACHINE! Know what would be terr-bull [terrible]?"
Me:  "What?"
Harper:  "It would be TERR-BULL if Sissy falled allllll 'da way down 'da steps!"
Me: "What would we ever do if she fell like that?"
Harper:  "Well, we'd give her wotsssss a Band-Aids."     

While driving past our parish:
"Mommy, do you know who lives at 'da church? FAH-VER JEFFFF! I wuv Fah-ver Jeff."


After driving over a bumpy train track: 
"'Dat almost breaked our wheels off!"


While parading around the house in her Halloween costume:
"Do you want to sit wif Ree-punzel, Scarwett?"

While playing on the floor with Scarlett:
Me: "Can you believe you and Scarlett used to live in my tummy and now you're both big girls?"
Harper: "Yesssss and da-marrow you are gonna have twins in your tummy!  WE ARE GONNA HAVE TWINS!" *dancing around* 


Randomly:
"Mommy, wet me tell you a secret in your ear...*whispering*...I need you 'da buy me a mermaid tail and a bra so I can swim at 'da beach and my tummy will hang out."
